Bolted Down
Style: Chamber folk

[Verse 1]
The bench is bolted to the pier
it never drifts, it never leaves
and that is how I hold you here
the way the iron holds the sleeves

[Pre-chorus]
Some things are built to hold their ground
some loves just settle, make no sound
but mine keeps reaching out to you

[Chorus]
Gloria, you're the steady kind
the calm inside the water's roar
I found a peace I didn't mind
Gloria, I keep coming back for more

[Verse 2]
I've watched the tide come in and out
and still that bench stays where it stood
you're what I never had to doubt
the one sure thing I understood

[Bridge]
Paint peels slow but the frame stays true
nothing fades the way I feel for you
let the water rise, let the wind blow hard
I'm not moving from this yard

[Chorus]
Gloria, you're the steady kind
the calm inside the water's roar
I found a peace I didn't mind
Gloria, I keep coming back for more

[Outro]
Long after the paint has gone
I'll still be sitting, holding on
