Two Mugs on the Crossing
Style: Folk duet

[Verse 1]
Wind cuts sideways off the water
Coats pulled tight, we hold on tighter
You pass me mine with steady hands
I don't say much, you understand

[Chorus]
Nellie, warmth is what you're made of
Even here, that's what I'm sure of
Hold the mug and hold my sleeve
Nellie, this is all I need

[Verse 2]
Steam rising off the plastic rim
You lean in closer than the wind
Nobody else would brave this crossing
No one else worth all this waiting

[Pre-chorus]
I've loved you in the easy weather
Loved you when it all felt heavier
Nothing's changed except it's clearer

[Chorus]
Nellie, warmth is what you're made of
Even here, that's what I'm sure of
Hold the mug and hold my sleeve
Nellie, this is all I need

[Bridge]
Let the water stay this rough
You're the reason I don't rush
Every crossing feels like home
When I'm not making it alone

[Chorus]
Nellie, warmth is what you're made of
Even here, that's what I'm sure of
Hold the mug and hold my sleeve
Nellie, this is all I need

[Outro]
Two mugs going cold together
Still the warmest I've ever felt
