Quiet Shine
Style: Gospel soul

[Verse 1]
Bubbles broke on steel tonight
Small and bright, then gone
I thought of how you hold a room
Even when the lights go on

[Chorus]
Carole, you're the steady flame
Nothing dims what you began
Every ordinary night
Carole, you light more than you can plan

[Verse 2]
I watched the foam catch one last spark
Fade before it hit the ground
But what you give me doesn't fade
It just keeps coming round

[Pre-chorus]
I've seen love flicker, seen it fall
Seen it burn out fast and thin
But you keep giving, steady, slow

[Chorus]
Carole, you're the steady flame
Nothing dims what you began
Every ordinary night
Carole, you light more than you can plan

[Bridge]
No stage, no shine, no need for more
Just you, plain as bread
You never asked to be adored
You just showed up instead

[Chorus]
Carole, you're the steady flame
Nothing dims what you began
Every ordinary night
Carole, you light more than you can plan

[Outro]
The bubbles popped, the dark stayed dark
But you were still right here
