Ethel, Stay Near
Style: Synth ballad

[Verse 1]
Rain taps the bench where we sit
Green plastic, cold under my hand
I don't need the crossing to end
I just need you close as we land

[Pre-chorus]
You don't ask for much from me
Just this seat and the sound of the sea
But I've got more than that to give

[Chorus]
Ethel, you make the grey feel gentle
You turn the noise down low
Nothing about you is metal
You're the softest place I know

[Verse 2]
The ferry rocks and you don't move
You watch the water, calm and still
I think that's why I trust you so true
You've never once needed to prove you will

[Chorus]
Ethel, you make the grey feel gentle
You turn the noise down low
Nothing about you is metal
You're the softest place I know

[Bridge]
No storm has ever made you run
You settle in, you stay for the ride
I'd cross this water again and again
Just to sit right here by your side

[Chorus]
Ethel, you make the grey feel gentle
You turn the noise down low
Nothing about you is metal
You're the softest place I know

[Outro]
Let the rain keep tapping the glass
I'll stay on this bench as long as you last
