Cold Tea
Style: Irish air

[Verse 1]
You kept the seat beside you warm
I never doubted you'd be there
Two cups gone cold before we spoke
That waiting never felt like harm

[Pre-chorus]
I've counted trains that came and went
Every minute with you well spent
Something in me still leans toward you

[Chorus]
Ernest, you're the one I chose
Steady as the whole world slowed
Nothing about this love is forced
Ernest, it's the way it goes

[Verse 2]
You laughed about the tea gone cold
Said the waiting was the point
I watched your hands around the cup
And knew this was worth growing old

[Chorus]
Ernest, you're the one I chose
Steady as the whole world slowed
Nothing about this love is forced
Ernest, it's the way it goes

[Bridge]
Some loves burn and some loves learnt
How to last without the flame
I'm the one who stayed concerned
With you, none of it feels the same

[Chorus]
Ernest, you're the one I chose
Steady as the whole world slowed
Nothing about this love is forced
Ernest, it's the way it goes

[Outro]
The bench still holds the shape of us
Two cold cups and everything I trust
