Wooden Pegs
Style: Irish air

[Verse 1]
The wind pulls hard at the line
You laugh and pass me a peg
Nothing about this is grand
But I feel steadier when you're mine

[Pre-chorus]
Ordinary days, that's all we get
Nothing to prove and nowhere to rush
So why does my breath catch

[Chorus]
Esther, you make the plain days good
Some kind of calm I never quite got
You steady me more than you know
Esther, I'd choose this if I could

[Verse 2]
The sheets keep pulling at your hands
You hold them fast against the gust
Small work, done without a fuss
I watch you like it's something grand

[Bridge]
No need for anything louder than this
Just you, and the wind, and my hand near yours

[Chorus]
Esther, you make the plain days good
Some kind of calm I never quite got
You steady me more than you know
Esther, I'd choose this if I could

[Outro]
The line still holds what the wind can't take
And I'm still here, glad for your sake
