The Kettle Sings
Style: Folk duet

[Verse 1]
The gas ring clicks and catches light
I hear you moving down the hall
Steam climbs up in a slow grey plume
Eilidh, you know this house by heart

[Pre-chorus]
Two cups down before you speak
Nothing here needs to be loud
This is where the day leans in

[Chorus]
Eilidh, you're the warmth I wait for
Morning proves it, so does Eilidh
Not every love needs proving twice
You're the calm I keep coming back for

[Verse 2]
You pour it slow so it won't spill
You always know when I've gone quiet
Steam fogs the window, blurs the yard
Still I'd know you with my eyes closed

[Chorus]
Eilidh, you're the warmth I wait for
Morning proves it, so does Eilidh
Not every love needs proving twice
You're the calm I keep coming back for

[Bridge]
Some days are loud, some days are still
Either way you're steady by my side
No grand gesture, just your hand on mine
That's the whole of it, and it's enough

[Chorus]
Eilidh, you're the warmth I wait for
Morning proves it, so does Eilidh
Not every love needs proving twice
You're the calm I keep coming back for

[Outro]
The kettle empties, the steam clears
Eilidh, you're still here, and that's enough
