Slow Under the Awning
Style: Slow R&B

[Verse 1]
Rain stopped an hour ago now
but the wall still holds it close
that's how you keep everything I give you
slow to show, slower to let go

[Pre-chorus]
I never need you fast or loud
just steady as that green above the door
that kind of hold is worth the wait for

[Chorus]
Maureen, you settle into me like weather
nothing sudden, nothing rushed, nothing thin
two names carved soft into old timber
Maureen, I'd wait all day to let you in

[Verse 2]
Some loves burn and some just linger
you were always built to stay
I found that out by standing near you
watching how the damp took its own way

[Bridge]
Let the porch light stay on late
we're not in any hurry here
take as long as brick takes to dry
I'll still be leaning on this rail, my dear

[Chorus]
Maureen, you settle into me like weather
nothing sudden, nothing rushed, nothing thin
two names carved soft into old timber
Maureen, I'd wait all day to let you in

[Outro]
The wall dried out slow and even
that's how you loved me, Maureen, and still do
