Two Coats, One Lamp
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
You stand so close I forget the cold
Steam rising off both our coats
I've held bigger nights than this one
But none I'd trade for smaller notes

[Chorus]
Beryl, you're the warmth I lean toward
No grand design, no perfect weather
Some folks chase a bigger flame
Beryl, I just want us close together

[Verse 2]
Shop light falling soft and yellow
Catches you mid laugh, mid word
You make the plainest evening golden
Say my name, I'm glad I heard

[Pre-chorus]
I don't need the fireworks kind
I need the standing still kind
The kind that's building up to say

[Chorus]
Beryl, you're the warmth I lean toward
No grand design, no perfect weather
Some folks chase a bigger flame
Beryl, I just want us close together

[Bridge]
Let the whole street empty out
Let the last bus leave without us
This is worth the waiting for

[Chorus]
Beryl, you're the warmth I lean toward
No grand design, no perfect weather
Some folks chase a bigger flame
Beryl, I just want us close together

[Outro]
Two coats steaming, one lamp burning
Beryl, that's enough for me
