Two Mugs on the Step
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
The kettle sings before the sun does
You hand me mine, still half asleep
I never ask for cream or sugar
You just remember, and you keep

[Pre-chorus]
No plans today, no clocks to mind
Just steam that curls and drifts away
And you, still warm against my side

[Chorus]
Freddie, the tea's gone cold and I don't care
Nothing waits for us out there
You're the reason I sit still
Freddie, steady, that's what you are

[Verse 2]
Some days you talk, some days you don't
I've learned to love the quiet part
You look out past the garden fence
I look at you, that's where I start

[Chorus]
Freddie, the tea's gone cold and I don't care
Nothing waits for us out there
You're the reason I sit still
Freddie, steady, that's what you are

[Bridge]
Let the frost come, let the seasons turn
I'll take you tired, I'll take you slow
This isn't new, and it isn't old
It's just the only place I know

[Chorus]
Freddie, the tea's gone cold and I don't care
Nothing waits for us out there
You're the reason I sit still
Freddie, steady, that's what you are

[Outro]
The kettle's cold, the light's moved on
But your hand's still here in mine
