Gorse on the Slope
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
Gorse bends low but holds the ground
Cold wind comes with a hard sound
Still it stands on that steep rise
That's the calm I see in your eyes

[Pre-chorus]
I've watched the weather turn and shove
Nothing shakes what I call love
So here's the thing I'm thinking of

[Chorus]
Ellie, you're the steady part
Gold against the grey, right from the start
Wind can howl and skies turn to steel
Ellie, you're the thing that's real

[Verse 2]
You never flinch when things get rough
You just root down, that's enough
I lean on you and I don't fall
You're the reason I stand tall

[Bridge]
Some loves fade when the weather's bad
Mine gets sure of what it had
You're the warm inside the cold
Better now than when we started, truer than we're told

[Chorus]
Ellie, you're the steady part
Gold against the grey, right from the start
Wind can howl and skies turn to steel
Ellie, you're the thing that's real

[Outro]
Let the wind come, let it blow
I'm not moving, now you know
