Boots on the Sand
Style: Bossa nova

[Verse 1]
Two boots left standing on the sand
Above the tide line, close at hand
You kicked them off without a sound
And walked me barefoot round and round

[Chorus]
Darlene, you steady every storm
You keep this ordinary life warm
Darlene, you make the quiet scene
The calmest place I've ever been

[Verse 2]
Salt on the laces, sun gone low
You laughed at something soft and slow
No hurry left in either shoe
Just the shape the sand kept of you

[Pre-chorus]
Something in the way you stayed
Something no wave ever swayed
Pulls me back to say your name

[Chorus]
Darlene, you steady every storm
You keep this ordinary life warm
Darlene, you make the quiet scene
The calmest place I've ever been

[Bridge]
Water comes and takes the rest
Leaves what's steady, leaves what's best
You're the mark that doesn't move
The proof I never have to prove

[Chorus]
Darlene, you steady every storm
You keep this ordinary life warm
Darlene, you make the quiet scene
The calmest place I've ever been

[Outro]
Two boots still stand where we left them
Side by side, and holding still
