Yellow Ticket
Style: Bossa nova

[Verse 1]
One yellow stub falls from your hand
Lands on the gravel where we stand
No one else would keep a thing so small
But you kept it, you kept it all

[Chorus]
Vera, you make the small things stay
Every plain hour turns golden with you near
Nothing about you is hard to hold dear
Vera, you make the ordinary clearer

[Verse 2]
Trains keep leaving, we let them go
We're not chasing anywhere, we're slow
You laugh and the whole platform softens
No rush in you, and I love that often

[Pre-chorus]
I've watched you turn waiting into rest
Watched you make the quietest things the best
Now the whistle blows and I lean into this

[Chorus]
Vera, you make the small things stay
Every plain hour turns golden with you near
Nothing about you is hard to hold dear
Vera, you make the ordinary clearer

[Bridge]
Not every love needs a grand terrain
Some just settle like light after rain
You're the steady kind, the kind that's true
I keep choosing this, I keep choosing you

[Chorus]
Vera, you make the small things stay
Every plain hour turns golden with you near
Nothing about you is hard to hold dear
Vera, you make the ordinary clearer

[Outro]
Somewhere a stub still rests on the track
I'd drop it again just to have you back
