Cold Glass
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
The cable's tangled by the bed
Water's gone cold in the glass
But you reached for me instead
And made the whole night pass

[Pre-chorus]
I keep the small things you leave behind
A glass, a cord, a coat on the chair
They tell me exactly where I stand

[Chorus]
Declan, you're the one I reckon on
When the lights go low and still
Nobody else could ever beckon
This kind of quiet, steady thrill

[Verse 2]
You fall asleep before the film ends
Phone still humming on the floor
I watch you and something mends
A door I didn't know was a door

[Pre-chorus]
I keep the small things you leave behind
A glass, a cord, a coat on the chair
They tell me exactly where I stand

[Chorus]
Declan, you're the one I reckon on
When the lights go low and still
Nobody else could ever beckon
This kind of quiet, steady thrill

[Bridge]
No grand words, no big scene
Just you, half asleep, half here
That's the truest love I've seen
No dressing up, nothing to fear

[Chorus]
Declan, you're the one I reckon on
When the lights go low and still
Nobody else could ever beckon
This kind of quiet, steady thrill

[Outro]
I'll leave the glass right where it sits
Beside you, always, in bits and pieces
