Down the Cold Glass Shelf
Style: Irish air

[Verse 1]
I watch the small things when you're near
The way you leave the mirror clear
You wipe the foam without a fuss
And somehow that means love to us

[Pre-chorus]
It's never the big words that hold
It's mornings, ordinary and slow
That build to something I can't stop

[Chorus]
Elliot, you're the calm in every room
Steady as the light comes through
No riot in you, only quiet
I chose this life and I'd not deny it

[Verse 2]
You hum a tune I half forget
Then finish it before I get there yet
You leave the glass a little cold
But warm is something you still hold

[Bridge]
I don't need loud to know it's true
There's nothing plain in loving you
Some nights the quiet says it best
No violet sky, just steady rest

[Chorus]
Elliot, you're the calm in every room
Steady as the light comes through
No riot in you, only quiet
I chose this life and I'd not deny it

[Outro]
The shelf still holds that little trace
I'll keep on choosing this small space
