Hands on the Edge
Style: Bossa nova

[Verse 1]
My hands rest on the edge of steel
water running slow and clear
I think of nothing else but you
how you always bring me here

[Pre-chorus]
Some days are loud and some are plain
but you stay steady through it all
and now my heart is leaning in

[Chorus]
Ethel, you are gentle and you're true
nothing about you feels like metal
steady as a hand I hold
Ethel, you are settled, and I settle

[Verse 2]
The kettle clicks, the morning starts
you hum a tune I half recall
small things become the whole of it
when you're the one behind it all

[Pre-chorus]
Some days are loud and some are plain
but you stay steady through it all
and now my heart is leaning in

[Chorus]
Ethel, you are gentle and you're true
nothing about you feels like metal
steady as a hand I hold
Ethel, you are settled, and I settle

[Bridge]
No grand words, just this quiet room
just your hands and mine close by
that is where I want to stay

[Chorus]
Ethel, you are gentle and you're true
nothing about you feels like metal
steady as a hand I hold
Ethel, you are settled, and I settle

[Outro]
My hands still rest here on the steel
and still it's you I'm thinking of
