  Verse 1

  The climb wore us down to the ground Muddy boots, the only sound Nothing in this world stood still But you were the thing I found

  Pre-chorus

  There's no big word for what we made Nothing showy, nothing displayed It's rising now, I want you to know

  Chorus

  Ada, you're the one I hold Through the wet and through the cold Every mile we've made our own Ada, you're my heart of gold

  Verse 2

  We lost the path but held our stride You stayed close, right by my side Some folks fold when the weather turns That's when I felt the deepest pride

  Pre-chorus

  There's no big word for what we made Nothing showy, nothing displayed It's rising now, I want you to know

  Chorus

  Ada, you're the one I hold Through the wet and through the cold Every mile we've made our own Ada, you're my heart of gold

  Bridge

  Long after our boots wear through I'll still be walking home with you

  Chorus

  Ada, you're the one I hold Through the wet and through the cold Every mile we've made our own Ada, you're my heart of gold

  Outro

  Two pairs of boots dried on the hill Ada, my heart is with you still

  Verse 1

  You passed the crisps across the counter and something settled deep inside I didn't need another encounter to know that you were on my side

  Chorus

  Ada, you make the ordinary greater you hold the whole room in your hand Ada, I'll love you sooner or later however this story is planned

  Verse 2

  You never ask me to pretend you take me plain, just as I arrive there's nothing here to defend and I've never felt more alive

  Pre-chorus

  I've loved before, or thought I did but never quite the way I love you so let me say it, one more time

  Chorus

  Ada, you make the ordinary greater you hold the whole room in your hand Ada, I'll love you sooner or later however this story is planned

  Bridge

  Maybe love's not lightning after all maybe it's this steady, ordinary thing just hands that answer when you call and the peace such certainty can bring

  Chorus

  Ada, you make the ordinary greater you hold the whole room in your hand Ada, I'll love you sooner or later however this story is planned

  Outro

  Pass the plate, pass it slow Ada, I'm not done with this, you know

  Verse 1

  A single mug sits cooling here Another dawn without you near I set the water on to steep Old habits that I still keep

  Pre-chorus

  There's a name I say like a prayer Soft and low, like something rare And I need you to hear me say

  Chorus

  Ada, you are the warmth I choose You're the one I never want to lose You're steady when the whole world spins Ada, that's where love begins

  Verse 2

  The kettle sings its usual sound It steadies me when you're not around The mug stays warm long after you go And loving you is all I know

  Pre-chorus

  There's a name I say like a prayer Soft and low, like something rare And I need you to hear me say

  Chorus

  Ada, you are the warmth I choose You're the one I never want to lose You're steady when the whole world spins Ada, that's where love begins

  Bridge

  Some loves arrive with thunder and light Mine found you quiet, deep in the night It didn't have to shout to stay You just kept choosing me each day

  Chorus

  Ada, you are the warmth I choose You're the one I never want to lose You're steady when the whole world spins Ada, that's where love begins

  Outro

  The mug sits cooling, just like then I'd pour that same cup out again
