Soapy Water
Style: Gospel soul

[Verse 1]
I left the bowl to soak a while
water going cold by the tap
I stood there just watching the light
and thought of your patient smile

[Chorus]
Karen, you steady my whole day
nothing about you fades away
stayed by me through the wear and the tearing
Karen, you're worth every word I say

[Verse 2]
Some things get better left to soak
some love needs time to loosen up
you never rushed me, never spoke sharp
you just stayed, and that's no joke

[Pre-chorus]
I've seen you tired, seen you plain
seen you steady through the strain
and still you keep on caring

[Chorus]
Karen, you steady my whole day
nothing about you fades away
stayed by me through the wear and the tearing
Karen, you're worth every word I say

[Bridge]
No shine, no show, just you and me
hands in the water, quiet and free
this is the love that doesn't leave
this is the one I'm bearing

[Chorus]
Karen, you steady my whole day
nothing about you fades away
stayed by me through the wear and the tearing
Karen, you're worth every word I say

[Outro]
I'll dry that bowl and set it down
still loving you, still yours around
