Small Tin Roof
Style: Soul waltz

[Verse 1]
Rain finds every crack it can
Brick walls dripping, no lamp on
Still I'd rather stand right here
Than be dry someplace you're not near

[Pre-chorus]
No light, but I don't need to see
Just need you close and breathing free
So say the word and I'll come in

[Chorus]
Celeste, you are my only rest
Nobody else has passed the test
I'd take this cold and this wet chest
Just to lie down where you nest

[Verse 2]
Water runs down old brick lines
Counting slow like passing time
You laugh and it forgets to fall
Warms this narrow, broken wall

[Chorus]
Celeste, you are my only rest
Nobody else has passed the test
I'd take this cold and this wet chest
Just to lie down where you nest

[Bridge]
No candle here, no need for one
You're the only steady sun
Whatever storm decides to start

[Chorus]
Celeste, you are my only rest
Nobody else has passed the test
I'd take this cold and this wet chest
Just to lie down where you nest

[Outro]
Let the tin roof take the rain
I've got shelter in your name
