Slow Water
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
Suds go down around the peelings
Steel bowl catching all the grey
You hum something low and easy
I could stand here half the day

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing fancy in this kitchen
Just your hands and mine at work
But something in me keeps on building

[Chorus]
Hayley, this is what I mean by love
Not the words but how you stay
I'll take you plain, I'll take you daily
Steady through the ordinary day

[Verse 2]
You never asked for any speeches
Never needed flowers or the show
Water finds its way down slowly
That's the pace I've come to know

[Chorus]
Hayley, this is what I mean by love
Not the words but how you stay
I'll take you plain, I'll take you daily
Steady through the ordinary day

[Bridge]
Some folks need the fireworks lit
I just need you passing by
Peeling something at the counter
Not a reason, not a why

[Chorus]
Hayley, this is what I mean by love
Not the words but how you stay
I'll take you plain, I'll take you daily
Steady through the ordinary day

[Outro]
Suds go down and leave the bowl clean
You're still standing here with me
