  Verse 1

  The salt shaker tips in the grass Small spill nobody planned You laugh like it's the whole afternoon I could sit here and just watch your hand

  Pre-chorus

  I've got no big words ready No grand thing left to prove Just this quiet getting louder

  Chorus

  Carol, you're the calm I chose Not once but every day I'd pick this patch of grass again Carol, if you'd stay

  Verse 2

  The cloth is red and going faint Sun's been hard on the thread Still you fold it the same careful way Like something worth keeping instead

  Pre-chorus

  I've got no big words ready No grand thing left to prove Just this quiet getting louder

  Chorus

  Carol, you're the calm I chose Not once but every day I'd pick this patch of grass again Carol, if you'd stay

  Bridge

  Some loves come with thunder Ours came in easy, low You righted the shaker without a word And that's how I know

  Chorus

  Carol, you're the calm I chose Not once but every day I'd pick this patch of grass again Carol, if you'd stay

  Outro

  The salt's still sitting crooked And Carol, so am I, for you

  Verse 1

  Two coats heavy with the rain Water pooling by the drain You laugh and lean against the stone I forget I was ever alone

  Chorus

  Carol, you're the warmth under wet wool Nothing about you feels dull Carol, hold on to my arm Rain outside, and I'm still calm

  Verse 2

  Your hair is stuck against your cheek You say the storm might last a week I hope it does, I hope it stays I'm in no rush for sunnier days

  Pre-chorus

  Every arch we've stood beneath Every year we didn't leave Brings me closer to this line

  Chorus

  Carol, you're the warmth under wet wool Nothing about you feels dull Carol, hold on to my arm Rain outside, and I'm still calm

  Bridge

  Let the water find the drain I've got no complaints to name You're the reason I stand still

  Chorus

  Carol, you're the warmth under wet wool Nothing about you feels dull Carol, hold on to my arm Rain outside, and I'm still calm

  Outro

  Two coats drying on a chair I'd stand in that rain anywhere

  Verse 1

  Glass fogs up above the vines Warm air holds where the cold declines Tomato leaves lean toward the light I lean the same way when you're mine

  Chorus

  Carol, you're the warmth I trust Steady when the whole world rusts No one else has ever tried Carol, you turn dust to trust

  Verse 2

  I wipe the pane to see you clear Nothing hidden, nothing severe You grow slow but you grow sure That's why I keep coming here

  Pre-chorus

  I don't need the loud kind of love Just the kind that doesn't shove The kind that waters what it's dreaming of

  Chorus

  Carol, you're the warmth I trust Steady when the whole world rusts No one else has ever tried Carol, you turn dust to trust

  Bridge

  You don't flinch when the frost comes near You just hold the warmth in here I've watched you do it year on year Never once did you disappear

  Chorus

  Carol, you're the warmth I trust Steady when the whole world rusts No one else has ever tried Carol, you turn dust to trust

  Outro

  The glass still fogs above the vine And you still keep this warmth of mine
