Under the Brass Tap
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
Water runs grey down the drain
Crusts gone soft, plates in a stack
Nothing about this hour is new
But your hand keeps brushing mine again

[Pre-chorus]
I never planned to feel this steady
Standing here with soap on my wrists
Something in me is ready

[Chorus]
Penelope, you make the plain rooms glow
You're the calm that I didn't know
Wrapped in something like a canopy
Penelope, it's you I want to know

[Verse 2]
You hum some tune I can't quite name
Steam curling up past the tap
Nothing here needs to be new
I'd choose this over anything grand

[Chorus]
Penelope, you make the plain rooms glow
You're the calm that I didn't know
Wrapped in something like a canopy
Penelope, it's you I want to know

[Bridge]
No candlelight, no clever line
Just your sleeve pushed to your elbow
Still my whole chest leans toward yours
Like it always somehow knew the way to go

[Chorus]
Penelope, you make the plain rooms glow
You're the calm that I didn't know
Wrapped in something like a canopy
Penelope, it's you I want to know

[Outro]
The water's long gone cold and still
But I'm not moving from this sill
