Bucket of Water
Style: Soul waltz

[Verse 1]
I keep the water close by the flames
in case the wind gets brave
You always laugh when I check it twice
but I like what we save

[Pre-chorus]
The coals are dimming, the night gets thin
the shoes are kicked by the door
and something in me won't bank down

[Chorus]
Isla, you're the warmth I bank for later
the ember I don't let die
Every fire needs someone watching
and Isla, that one is I

[Verse 2]
You untie your laces slow by the fire
like the day still owes you nothing
I watch your hands more than the flames
that's how I know this is something

[Bridge]
I'm not scared of the dark coming down
not with your shoes by mine
One splash and the whole thing's quiet
and still I'd do it every time

[Chorus]
Isla, you're the warmth I bank for later
the ember I don't let die
Every fire needs someone watching
and Isla, that one is I

[Outro]
The bucket sits ready, the fire's gone quiet
and I'm glad it was you standing by
