Bench in the Cold
Style: Soul waltz

[Verse 1]
The leaves came down and covered the seat
We sat there once, out of the sleet
Grey fence behind us, worn thin and bare
You made that cold bench feel like somewhere

[Pre-chorus]
I think of you in colours fading
Still you're the warmth that isn't waiting
You're the reason I keep staying

[Chorus]
Mali, you steady me like nothing can
Through every season, every plan
No rally, no valley, no mile too far
I'd know you anywhere you are

[Verse 2]
Brown leaves pile where we used to talk
You never rushed me, never balked
That fence has rusted, greyer now
But you're the same, and I don't know how

[Pre-chorus]
I think of you in colours fading
Still you're the warmth that isn't waiting
You're the reason I keep staying

[Chorus]
Mali, you steady me like nothing can
Through every season, every plan
No rally, no valley, no mile too far
I'd know you anywhere you are

[Bridge]
Let the wind take the leaves it wants
You're the one thing that still haunts
Every quiet, ordinary place
I'd sit through winter for your face

[Chorus]
Mali, you steady me like nothing can
Through every season, every plan
No rally, no valley, no mile too far
I'd know you anywhere you are

[Outro]
The bench still waits beneath the grey
You're the warmth that never went away
