Soap and Grey Concrete
Style: Piano ballad

[Verse 1]
Bucket on the grey concrete
Water going cold at your feet
Broom leant up against the wall
You hum like the day's complete

[Pre-chorus]
I watch you work and I forget my name
Nothing about this moment feels the same
Something in me is already gone

[Chorus]
Mabel, you make the plainest hour able
To hold a love that's steady, not unstable
You never asked to be my fable
But here we are, and you're my Mabel

[Verse 2]
Your hands are rough from all you've done
Still you reach for me like I'm the one
Some folk chase the far and shining
I found mine in the low grey sun

[Bridge]
No grand words, no cable strung with light
Just this yard, this soap, this quiet night
I don't need a story to tell it right

[Chorus]
Mabel, you make the plainest hour able
To hold a love that's steady, not unstable
You never asked to be my fable
But here we are, and you're my Mabel

[Outro]
Bucket empty now, the broom put away
I'd choose this same grey with you any day
