Warm Water
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
I stand here with my hands in foam
and think how far we are from home
the water's warm around the spoons
you hum an old and easy tune

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing here is grand or new
just soap and steam and me and you
but watch how far this feeling flew

[Chorus]
Laurie, you're the whole damn story
not the flash but all the glory
simple things turn bright and true
every basin, every room with you

[Verse 2]
The spoons go quiet in the rack
you lean in close, I don't lean back
I'd choose this over anything grand
just soap and water on your hand

[Chorus]
Laurie, you're the whole damn story
not the flash but all the glory
simple things turn bright and true
every basin, every room with you

[Bridge]
No one sees this, no one knows
how love this quiet only grows
in basins, spoons and steam that clears
I've loved you plain for all these years

[Chorus]
Laurie, you're the whole damn story
not the flash but all the glory
simple things turn bright and true
every basin, every room with you

[Outro]
The water's cold, the spoons are dry
and still I'd choose this every time
