Steam on the Board
Style: Soul waltz

[Verse 1]
Steam curls up from the mug
and the toast is warming slow
you come down before the light
I feel lucky, not just glad

[Pre-chorus]
This is not a new thing rising
this is old and still it's true
and it's building up to something

[Chorus]
Eleanor, you steady me
like a wanderer come home to stay
I'm no stranger, no passenger
Eleanor, you're mine to keep

[Verse 2]
Some mornings we don't speak at all
just the kettle and the light
you rest your hand against the wood
and I love you plain, not wide

[Pre-chorus]
This is not a new thing rising
this is old and still it's true
and it's building up to something

[Chorus]
Eleanor, you steady me
like a wanderer come home to stay
I'm no stranger, no passenger
Eleanor, you're mine to keep

[Bridge]
Whatever room we're standing in
however far we've come
I still turn to find you there
the one thing I count on

[Chorus]
Eleanor, you steady me
like a wanderer come home to stay
I'm no stranger, no passenger
Eleanor, you're mine to keep

[Outro]
The mug goes cold, the toast goes cold
but you are warm and near
