Bolted Down
Style: Slow R&B

[Verse 1]
Cold rail under a low grey sky
We sat there and let the hours go by
No plan, no clock, no need to leave
I stayed because you kept me clean

[Pre-chorus]
The wind came hard across the deck
You didn't flinch, you didn't check
I felt something settle in between

[Chorus]
Darlene, you're steadier than the scene
Bolted like that bench, calm and clean
Storms come through but we stay serene
Darlene, you're the best thing I've seen

[Verse 2]
Paint's gone thin where our hands would rest
Still the coldest bench feels like the best
Just your voice low under grey and green
I could sit here as if it's routine

[Pre-chorus]
Some days nothing much gets said
Just the quiet where the light has spread
I feel it building, right before between

[Chorus]
Darlene, you're steadier than the scene
Bolted like that bench, calm and clean
Storms come through but we stay serene
Darlene, you're the best thing I've seen

[Bridge]
I've loved you loud, I've loved you slow
Through every cloud that came and go
You never moved, you let me lean
That's the calmest love I've known

[Chorus]
Darlene, you're steadier than the scene
Bolted like that bench, calm and clean
Storms come through but we stay serene
Darlene, you're the best thing I've seen

[Outro]
Grey sky still, the deck still cold
Bolted here, I'll never let go
