Steady as the Iron
Style: Irish air

[Verse 1]
The grey walls hold and the deep holds still
You're the one steady thing on this old hill
Ring on the wall, never used, never gone
Like the love that holds fast when it's calm

[Pre-chorus]
I've seen you weather every kind of storm
Never asking to be more than you are
And I'm leaning in to say it right

[Chorus]
Marilyn, you're the calm in the hold
Every quiet thing you do turns to gold
Marilyn, I don't need the tide to rise
Just to keep finding you in my eyes

[Verse 2]
No one else walks this deck quite like you
Steady hands doing what steady hands do
You don't shout to prove that you care
You just stay, and that stay is rare

[Bridge]
Some loves burn loud, then burn to grey
Ours just holds, plain, come what may
I don't need the noise of the sea
Just you, still here, still choosing me

[Chorus]
Marilyn, you're the calm in the hold
Every quiet thing you do turns to gold
Marilyn, I don't need the tide to rise
Just to keep finding you in my eyes

[Outro]
Grey walls still hold, the ring still hangs
Steady as ever, that's where love stands
