Scarf on the Bench
Style: Folk duet

[Verse 1]
Wind off the water finds my coat
I left a scarf, a kind of note
Two benches wait out on the pier
I only ever sit for near you here

[Pre-chorus]
You said you'd come at fall of light
I've watched the ferries left and right
Then I hear your step and lose the fight

[Chorus]
Freya, you're the reason I stay
You make an ordinary into a good day
No one else could hold me steadier
Freya, you're the calm after the weather

[Verse 2]
You wrap that scarf around us both
Say you're never one for making oath
But here you are, again, again
Some kind of promise, plain as rain

[Pre-chorus]
I don't need fireworks or noise
Just this bench and both our voices
This is the life, not the choice

[Chorus]
Freya, you're the reason I stay
You make an ordinary into a good day
No one else could hold me steadier
Freya, you're the calm after the weather

[Bridge]
Long love or new, it's all the same
Just two seats and someone worth the name
I'd know your laugh in any weather

[Chorus]
Freya, you're the reason I stay
You make an ordinary into a good day
No one else could hold me steadier
Freya, you're the calm after the weather

[Outro]
Leave the scarf there on the rail
I'll be back, love, without fail
