The Line Goes Bare
Style: Blues slow dance

[Verse 1]
Wind's picking up out on the line
Pegs holding on for dear life
Damp denim socks twisting in time
You're humming while you fix each strife

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing about this is fancy or new
It's just the same hands doing what they do
And somehow that's the thing that's pulling me to

[Chorus]
Vicki, you don't need the sky to fall
Slow love's the kind that's steady and true
Vicki, I'd choose this over it all
Ordinary days made good by you

[Verse 2]
You pin the last sock to the wire
Turn around and catch my eye
Nothing here is built on fire
But it never once runs dry

[Chorus]
Vicki, you don't need the sky to fall
Slow love's the kind that's steady and true
Vicki, I'd choose this over it all
Ordinary days made good by you

[Bridge]
Some folks chase the loud and quick
I'll take the quiet, take the slow
Take you, humming, sock and peg
Take the way this steady love can grow

[Chorus]
Vicki, you don't need the sky to fall
Slow love's the kind that's steady and true
Vicki, I'd choose this over it all
Ordinary days made good by you

[Outro]
The wind will drop, the line will still
Doesn't matter. I'm still here, I will
