Slow and Sure
Style: Motown ballad

[Verse 1]
Rain runs off the metal gutter
finds the leaves and feeds the root
nobody claps for slow things growing
but I have watched you take and give truth

[Pre-chorus]
You never asked to be the loud one
you just kept showing up and stayed
and now I can't stop leaning

[Chorus]
Emma, you're the steady kind of love
the kind that doesn't need a stage
quiet in the morning, sure by evening
Emma, you don't age like other things do age

[Verse 2]
Green leaves don't ask why it's raining
they just open up and drink it in
that's how I take whatever you're giving
you're the calm I didn't know I'd win

[Chorus]
Emma, you're the steady kind of love
the kind that doesn't need a stage
quiet in the morning, sure by evening
Emma, you don't age like other things do age

[Bridge]
I don't need the sky to open wide
a little water finds its way
you don't have to shout to hold me
you already do, every single day

[Chorus]
Emma, you're the steady kind of love
the kind that doesn't need a stage
quiet in the morning, sure by evening
Emma, you don't age like other things do age

[Outro]
Somewhere the water's still finding the leaves
and I'm still finding my way to you
