  Verse 1

  Green chairs lined against the wall Fluorescent light won't let us sleep I watch the clock, I watch you stall You hold my hand, you start to weep

  Pre-chorus

  I don't need the news to be good I just need you here on this floor Stay like I know you would

  Chorus

  Carolyn, you're the one steady thing Every hallway feels less long with you Carolyn, hear the quiet ring You're the truest thing I ever knew

  Verse 2

  The linoleum shines under the light Reflecting every step we've made You squeeze my hand, you hold on tight Not once have you been afraid

  Pre-chorus

  I don't need the news to be good I just need you here on this floor Stay like I know you would

  Chorus

  Carolyn, you're the one steady thing Every hallway feels less long with you Carolyn, hear the quiet ring You're the truest thing I ever knew

  Bridge

  Doors open, doors close, we wait Whatever comes, I'm glad it's you Some kind of love outlasts the wait

  Chorus

  Carolyn, you're the one steady thing Every hallway feels less long with you Carolyn, hear the quiet ring You're the truest thing I ever knew

  Outro

  Someday we'll leave those green chairs behind But you'll still be the steady kind

  Verse 1

  Leaves are stuck to the grass out there I watched them from the window again You said the sky looks fallen today I said it looks like where we've been

  Pre-chorus

  You never asked for bright or loud Just somebody who'd stay in the room I'm still here, and I'm not going

  Chorus

  Carolyn, the grey doesn't scare me Not with your hand still holding mine I've loved you plain, I've loved you steady Carolyn, that was always the sign

  Verse 2

  You made tea while the garden went quiet Didn't need the sun to feel warm You laughed at something small I said And it settled every storm

  Chorus

  Carolyn, the grey doesn't scare me Not with your hand still holding mine I've loved you plain, I've loved you steady Carolyn, that was always the sign

  Bridge

  Some loves need the summer to work Ours never needed the shine I'll take the damp and the low clouds If you're the one keeping time

  Chorus

  Carolyn, the grey doesn't scare me Not with your hand still holding mine I've loved you plain, I've loved you steady Carolyn, that was always the sign

  Outro

  The leaves will lift when the light comes But I loved you long before it did

• Wet Wool Line

  Chamber folk · Chamber · Cello · Delicate

  A quiet love song about steady, everyday devotion, built from the small ritual of laundry left out in the drizzle. For any kind of love that has settled in and stayed.

  Verse 1

  Socks are heavy on the wire Morning air is turning colder Nothing dries out here today You still make me feel entire

  Pre-chorus

  I keep watching what won't hurry Some things just take their own time So I'm learning not to worry

  Chorus

  Carolyn, you're steady rain You don't wash off, you don't wane Simple as a line strung tight I'd stand out here in your name

  Verse 2

  Grey sky doesn't ask for much Neither do you, and I notice Small things say the most, I think Quiet love has its own touch

  Chorus

  Carolyn, you're steady rain You don't wash off, you don't wane Simple as a line strung tight I'd stand out here in your name

  Bridge

  Let the whole world stay unfinished Let the wool stay wet and slow I don't need it done or perfect I just need you here, I know

  Chorus

  Carolyn, you're steady rain You don't wash off, you don't wane Simple as a line strung tight I'd stand out here in your name

  Outro

  Wire's still bowed beneath the water Some things hold. I'm glad you're one
