Water Still Running
Style: Folk duet

[Verse 1]
The tap runs on and no one minds
water finds the drain and goes
you left the phone beside the sink
some kind of calm only you know

[Pre-chorus]
I could call you just to hear you breathe
no news, no reason, nothing to tell
just your voice moving slow through the house
and the sound of it starts to swell

[Chorus]
Nell, you make the waiting easy
not one thing about you rushed
I have loved you in the ordinary
in the sink, in the dripping hush

[Verse 2]
You hum while the water keeps its time
never chasing what the hour meant
some love needs a reason to stay
yours just settles where it went

[Bridge]
I don't need the phone to ring
I have you moving round this room
and that is its own kind of everything

[Chorus]
Nell, you make the waiting easy
not one thing about you rushed
I have loved you in the ordinary
in the sink, in the dripping hush

[Outro]
The tap will run its course and stop
and I'll still be here, loving you like that
