Wooden Pegs
Style: Bossa nova

[Verse 1]
You hum while pegging out the wash
Denim swaying in the breeze
I watch the basket at your feet
And feel my whole chest ease

[Pre-chorus]
It is nothing much to see
Just a line and a bit of wind
But watching you undoes me

[Chorus]
Jacqueline, you steady me like nothing can
No grand scene, no big routine
Just you humming in the garden
And I am glad for everything between

[Verse 2]
The pegs drop soft into the basket
Your sleeves are rolled, your feet are bare
I could watch this hour forever
And never once grow tired there

[Pre-chorus]
It is nothing much to see
Just a line and a bit of wind
But watching you undoes me

[Chorus]
Jacqueline, you steady me like nothing can
No grand scene, no big routine
Just you humming in the garden
And I am glad for everything between

[Bridge]
No one else would call this romance
Just washing hung to dry
But you make ordinary Tuesdays
Feel like reasons why

[Chorus]
Jacqueline, you steady me like nothing can
No grand scene, no big routine
Just you humming in the garden
And I am glad for everything between

[Outro]
The denim's dry, the basket's empty
Still I am standing here for you
