Woolen Sleeves
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
Our sleeves brushed against the crate
Damp wood, and I didn't move away
The tomatoes leaned in green light
I liked you before I could say

[Pre-chorus]
Some things you just carry with you
Some rooms hold the warmth for years
I've been meaning to tell you

[Chorus]
Harriet, you steady my hands
However far I roam or wander
I would cross any weather
Just to find you, Harriet, over there

[Verse 2]
Glasshouse windows fogged with breath
Two coats, one bench, no need to talk
You laughed at something small and true
I've thought about it since, I have

[Pre-chorus]
Some things you just carry with you
Some rooms hold the warmth for years
I've been meaning to tell you

[Chorus]
Harriet, you steady my hands
However far I roam or wander
I would cross any weather
Just to find you, Harriet, over there

[Bridge]
I'm not one for grand words
But I'd learn to say them for you
No parade, no tarot, no promise
Just this, plain and steady and true

[Chorus]
Harriet, you steady my hands
However far I roam or wander
I would cross any weather
Just to find you, Harriet, over there

[Outro]
Two sleeves still brushing that crate
I'd choose that greenhouse every time
