Ring of Stones
Style: Folk duet

[Verse 1]
Dry needles catch before the log does
small sparks first, then a steady flame
I built this fire slow on purpose
the way you taught me, without a name

[Pre-chorus]
You never rush what's going to last
you let it breathe, you let it grow
and I'm learning that from watching you now

[Chorus]
Clarence, you're the warmth that stays
not the flash that burns and goes
Clarence, through the smoke and haze
you're the steady thing I chose

[Verse 2]
Grey stones hold the heat till morning
long after the last spark has died
that's how you hold on to people
quiet, and never for your pride

[Pre-chorus]
You never rush what's going to last
you let it breathe, you let it grow
and I'm learning that from watching you now

[Chorus]
Clarence, you're the warmth that stays
not the flash that burns and goes
Clarence, through the smoke and haze
you're the steady thing I chose

[Bridge]
Some loves crackle loud and fade
mine just keeps on burning slow
every ember owes its life to you

[Chorus]
Clarence, you're the warmth that stays
not the flash that burns and goes
Clarence, through the smoke and haze
you're the steady thing I chose

[Outro]
The stones are cold by morning light
but you're still here, and that's enough
