Copper and Grey
Style: Slow R&B

[Verse 1]
Steam climbs up against the grey wall
Kettle sings while the rain comes down
You hum along without even trying
You turn the coldest room around

[Pre-chorus]
I keep waiting for that whistle
Something in me leans toward the sound
Like I'm always turning to find you

[Chorus]
Maria, you're the warmth in this house
Every damp wall learns your name
Steady as that kettle's whistle
Maria, you make the grey feel tame

[Verse 2]
Pantry shelves are stacked with nothing much
Just tea tins and a chipped old cup
But you make the smallest kitchen holy
You make the quietest evening add up

[Bridge]
No need for gold or grand rooms
Just copper light and your two hands
This is the whole of what I wanted

[Chorus]
Maria, you're the warmth in this house
Every damp wall learns your name
Steady as that kettle's whistle
Maria, you make the grey feel tame

[Outro]
The kettle's quiet now, the steam has cleared
Still, I'm warm just knowing you're here
