Leaves on the Ladder
Style: Motown ballad

[Verse 1]
Left that ladder out in the yard
Leaves came down and stuck to the wood
Nothing round here ever looks hard
When I'm standing where you once stood

[Pre-chorus]
Grey sky, nothing much to prove
Just the quiet way we move
Something's building, plain and true

[Chorus]
Scarlett, you're the steady kind of light
Not loud, but you never fade
I don't need the sky to be bright
When you're near, I'm not afraid

[Verse 2]
Some leaves never do let go
Cling on through the wind and rain
I've watched how you carry it slow
Never once making me explain

[Chorus]
Scarlett, you're the steady kind of light
Not loud, but you never fade
I don't need the sky to be bright
When you're near, I'm not afraid

[Bridge]
No need for the sun to show its face
You've always been enough of that
Whatever grey fills up this place
I'd stand right here, and that is that

[Chorus]
Scarlett, you're the steady kind of light
Not loud, but you never fade
I don't need the sky to be bright
When you're near, I'm not afraid

[Outro]
Leaves still cling to that old wood
You're still here, and that's enough
