Crumbs on the Tin Plate
Style: Country waltz

[Verse 1]
The phone clicks down beside the plate
Crumbs left over from your bread
I sit here in the quiet after
Just glad to have you, Fred

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing fancy happened here tonight
Just supper and a little talk
But something in this small room settles
When I hear your key in the lock

[Chorus]
Fred, you make the plain days worth it
Fred, you turn a house into a home
Not for what you say or promise
Just for knowing you're not alone

[Verse 2]
I keep the tin plate on the shelf
Long after supper's cleared away
It holds the shape of every evening
Where you sat and had your say

[Chorus]
Fred, you make the plain days worth it
Fred, you turn a house into a home
Not for what you say or promise
Just for knowing you're not alone

[Bridge]
No speech was ever needed here
Just your voice down the hall
That's enough to hold me steady
That's enough to say it all

[Chorus]
Fred, you make the plain days worth it
Fred, you turn a house into a home
Not for what you say or promise
Just for knowing you're not alone

[Outro]
The plate sits empty on the table
But this house still holds your name
