Steady on the Line
Style: Irish air

[Verse 1]
Two wooden pegs click in my hand
I hold the sheet, you hold the line
We hang the wet day out to dry
Nothing about us feels like design

[Pre-chorus]
It's not the big words that I trust
It's how you stay when mornings turn
So say the name and watch it burn

[Chorus]
Ella, you're the calm I lean on
Ella, steady through the grey
Nobody holds a line like you do
Nothing shifts you, come what may

[Verse 2]
The pegs don't hold much, only cloth
But you hold on to far more than that
You keep the ordinary things from falling
And that's no small thing to be at

[Chorus]
Ella, you're the calm I lean on
Ella, steady through the grey
Nobody holds a line like you do
Nothing shifts you, come what may

[Bridge]
I've watched love get loud and lose its way
But yours just clicks in place and stays

[Chorus]
Ella, you're the calm I lean on
Ella, steady through the grey
Nobody holds a line like you do
Nothing shifts you, come what may

[Outro]
The sheets come in, folded and dry
You're still the one I'm standing by
