Pegs in the Wind
Style: Piano ballad

[Verse 1]
Pegs holding shirts to the line
Steady against the breeze
You laugh when the sheet won't behave
I'm happy just watching, at ease

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing grand about this afternoon
Just wind and cotton and you
But something in me is ready

[Chorus]
Betty, you steady the whole of my day
You hold on like pegs in a storm
Betty, I mean it, not lightly, I mean it
With you is the shape I call home

[Verse 2]
The line sags soft with the weight
Damp cloth catching the light
You reach up and fix what's fallen
And somehow the day feels right

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing grand about this afternoon
Just wind and cotton and you
But something in me is ready

[Chorus]
Betty, you steady the whole of my day
You hold on like pegs in a storm
Betty, I mean it, not lightly, I mean it
With you is the shape I call home

[Bridge]
Some loves shout, some loves are quiet
This one just hangs here and stays
You don't need to try to keep me
I was already staying

[Chorus]
Betty, you steady the whole of my day
You hold on like pegs in a storm
Betty, I mean it, not lightly, I mean it
With you is the shape I call home

[Outro]
The shirts will dry and come down soon
But you're the one I keep
