Through the Wool
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
The rail was cold, the deck was grey
Your glove found mine and stayed that way
I felt the warmth right through the wool
And something in me learned to stay

[Chorus]
Cora, hold on a little longer
Every winter makes us stronger
I never planned to need this much
But Cora, this is where I belong

[Verse 2]
The engines hummed beneath our feet
You laughed and it undid the cold
I didn't need the view at all
Just wanted your hand in mine to hold

[Pre-chorus]
I've counted every dock we've passed
I've watched how steady your hands stay
And still I'm reaching out for more

[Chorus]
Cora, hold on a little longer
Every winter makes us stronger
I never planned to need this much
But Cora, this is where I belong

[Bridge]
No map for this, no course to steer
Just you, the rust, the freezing air
I'd cross that water every year
If you were always waiting there

[Chorus]
Cora, hold on a little longer
Every winter makes us stronger
I never planned to need this much
But Cora, this is where I belong

[Outro]
The deck still creaks, the wool still itches
You're still the warmth beneath my glove
