Steady as the Line
Style: Gospel soul

[Verse 1]
Cotton on the line, swaying slow
Nothing fancy in that easy flow
Just a wooden pin holding on
That's how my love for you tends to go

[Chorus]
Lorraine, you settle every storm in me
Steady as the line, that's what you'll be
Nothing about you needs the sun's applause
Lorraine, you're the calm I've come to need

[Verse 2]
Some folks chase the loud and the bright
I'll take you in that porch light
Plain as morning, sure as noon
You never had to put up a fight

[Pre-chorus]
I don't need the wind to prove it's there
I just feel it moving through the air
Something steady, reaching, calling me back to

[Chorus]
Lorraine, you settle every storm in me
Steady as the line, that's what you'll be
Nothing about you needs the sun's applause
Lorraine, you're the calm I've come to need

[Bridge]
No grand gesture, no dressed up scene
Just you, plain and true, in between
The ordinary days that hold the most

[Chorus]
Lorraine, you settle every storm in me
Steady as the line, that's what you'll be
Nothing about you needs the sun's applause
Lorraine, you're the calm I've come to need

[Outro]
That pillowcase still moves without a sound
This is how I'll always call you home
