Under the Green Roof
Style: Acoustic soul

[Verse 1]
Rain came down on the green tin roof
Water ran off the wooden stand
I stood close just to watch it drip
And you took hold of my hand

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing fancy about this weather
Nothing planned about tonight
But something in me won't stay quiet

[Chorus]
Eleanor, you're the calm in the storm
The one I choose again
You make the ordinary hold me
Eleanor, through the wind and rain

[Verse 2]
I've seen you laugh at a leaking roof
I've seen you steady in the noise
You never needed the sun to shine
You just find your own kind of poise

[Bridge]
Some folks wait for a better day
I'd take this puddle every time
If loving you means standing here wet
Then let the whole sky lose its mind

[Chorus]
Eleanor, you're the calm in the storm
The one I choose again
You make the ordinary hold me
Eleanor, through the wind and rain

[Outro]
Long after the rain has stopped falling
I'll still be glad I stayed
