Smoke and Wool
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
Cold garden, two coats close together
Smoke goes up like it weighs nothing
You lean in without a word
Quiet is the loudest thing I've heard

[Chorus]
Bruce, you never had to raise your voice
Steady love was always your one choice
Bruce, you stay when the room clears out
That's the truth I never doubt

[Verse 2]
Watch your breath curl in the dark
You don't need to leave a mark
Some folks chase the loudest thing
I'd rather have what your calm brings

[Pre-chorus]
No grand speech, no big scene
Just your hand in mine between
Something building, soft and slow

[Chorus]
Bruce, you never had to raise your voice
Steady love was always your one choice
Bruce, you stay when the room clears out
That's the truth I never doubt

[Bridge]
Maybe love's just standing still
Long enough for it to fill
Every corner, every doubt

[Chorus]
Bruce, you never had to raise your voice
Steady love was always your one choice
Bruce, you stay when the room clears out
That's the truth I never doubt

[Outro]
The smoke has gone, the coats stay warm
Bruce, you're still the shape of home
