The Milk Still Comes
Style: Irish air

[Verse 1]
I hear the bottles knock before the light
and know that you are somewhere near the door
the moth turns circles round the porch lamp still
and I am glad you're close tonight

[Pre-chorus]
Every small sound waits for you
before the day has learned your name
I lie here listening for one thing more

[Chorus]
Lisa, it's the quiet hours I love you best
when the whole street's asleep but us
no grand words, no big scenes to raise
just you, still here, and me, no less

[Verse 2]
The glass rings out against the step
a small bell nobody else would hear
but I know it means you're near
and something in my chest lets go

[Bridge]
I've loved you loud and loved you plain
through easy years and harder weather
this porch light's seen us both again
still choosing to come home together

[Chorus]
Lisa, it's the quiet hours I love you best
when the whole street's asleep but us
no grand words, no big scenes to raise
just you, still here, and me, no less

[Outro]
The bottles knock, the moth still turns
and I'm still glad it's you I love
