The Line Still Open
Style: Chamber folk

[Verse 1]
The receiver rests beside the glass
Under a lamp that burns so low
I never learned to hang it up
I keep it near in case you call

[Pre-chorus]
I don't need much, just steady light
A little warmth to hold the room
And you, still on my mind tonight

[Chorus]
Darcey, you're the quiet in the noise
The one I choose above all choice
No need to shout it, no need to try
Darcey, you're the reason for the light

[Verse 2]
The ashtray's empty, cold and clean
No smoke to hide what's plain to see
I never needed all that haze
Just you, exactly how you are

[Pre-chorus]
I don't need much, just steady light
A little warmth to hold the room
And you, still on my mind tonight

[Chorus]
Darcey, you're the quiet in the noise
The one I choose above all choice
No need to shout it, no need to try
Darcey, you're the reason for the light

[Bridge]
Some loves burn loud, then burn out fast
Ours just sits here, plain and true
Nothing fancy, nothing rushed
Just a table, and a room with you

[Chorus]
Darcey, you're the quiet in the noise
The one I choose above all choice
No need to shout it, no need to try
Darcey, you're the reason for the light

[Outro]
The lamp still burns beside the glass
And I still leave the line for you
