Pegs on the Wire
Style: Chamber folk

[Verse 1]
Wooden pegs click down the line
Afternoon sun on your back
Nothing here needs to be fixed
You hum while the sheets sway and climb

[Pre-chorus]
I watch you work without a word
No reason to call out your name
But it's rising up in me now

[Chorus]
Max, the heat can't slow you down
You move like you've got no cause to frown
Steady hands on ordinary tasks
Max, I'd follow you around

[Verse 2]
You fold the towels wrong on purpose
Just to make me smile at the stacks
Some days love is simple as this
No grand thing, no fireworks, no fanfax

[Chorus]
Max, the heat can't slow you down
You move like you've got no cause to frown
Steady hands on ordinary tasks
Max, I'd follow you around

[Bridge]
Let the wire hold what it can
Let the sun do what it does
I'm not asking for more than this
Just you, still here, just as you was

[Chorus]
Max, the heat can't slow you down
You move like you've got no cause to frown
Steady hands on ordinary tasks
Max, I'd follow you around

[Outro]
The pegs still click along that wire
And I still can't look away from you
