  Verse 1

  Rain comes down and finds the street But it never finds my skin You hold something dark and tight Just enough to let me in

  Pre-chorus

  I have known the cold before Known what it is to stand alone Then you opened up the dark

  Chorus

  Cecil, you're the roof I run to Steady hands that won't deceive you'll Never leave me standing out there Cecil, you're the one thing real

  Verse 2

  Metal ribs and fabric stretched Bending but they never break You've got that same kind of strength Quiet, for my own sake

  Chorus

  Cecil, you're the roof I run to Steady hands that won't deceive you'll Never leave me standing out there Cecil, you're the one thing real

  Bridge

  Every storm has its own sound But yours is the one I know Long after the thunder's gone You're still the warmth I know

  Chorus

  Cecil, you're the roof I run to Steady hands that won't deceive you'll Never leave me standing out there Cecil, you're the one thing real

  Outro

  Rain still finds the empty street But I am dry, and I am home

  Irish air · Irish · Whistle · Lilting

  A quiet, steady love song about waiting out the rain with someone and finding that the waiting itself is the point. Fits new love, old love, or anything in between.

  Verse 1

  Rain came down and found us here Sitting close, the bench cold and clear Water pooling where the roof leaks through I didn't mind, because it was with you

  Chorus

  Cecil, I would wait for you Through any storm, however long it grew Nothing about this love is a lie Cecil, my heart won't ever deceive you

  Verse 2

  The metal's yellow, chipped and worn Older now than the day it was born Still it holds us, still it stays true That's the kind of love I want with you

  Pre-chorus

  I've watched the water rise and fall I've heard you laugh above it all Now the feeling's building, and I can't wait

  Chorus

  Cecil, I would wait for you Through any storm, however long it grew Nothing about this love is a lie Cecil, my heart won't ever deceive you

  Bridge

  Let the whole sky empty out There's no doubt left when you're around I'd sit here till the concrete dries Just to keep you this close

  Chorus

  Cecil, I would wait for you Through any storm, however long it grew Nothing about this love is a lie Cecil, my heart won't ever deceive you

  Outro

  The bench still stands, the puddle's still there So is this love, and I still care

• Far Out Tide

  Doo wop · Retro · Sweet

  A steady, plainspoken doo wop love song for Cecil, built from the image of a low tide leaving the shore bare and quiet, saying what stays even when everything else pulls away.

  Verse 1

  Tide pulled back and left the sand bare Grey stones scattered where the water had been I stood there thinking nothing was fair Then you walked up and changed the scene

  Pre-chorus

  You don't need the water to shine You stay steady when the tide runs low That kind of calm is hard to find

  Chorus

  Cecil, you're the one who stays Through the pull and through the leaving Cecil, you don't play those games With a love this plain, who needs deceiving

  Verse 2

  Every pebble looks the same at first Until you notice how each one gleams You're the kind of good I never rehearsed You showed up plain as daylight in my dreams

  Chorus

  Cecil, you're the one who stays Through the pull and through the leaving Cecil, you don't play those games With a love this plain, who needs deceiving

  Bridge

  No current takes you far from me You're the ground beneath the sea Steady as a stone, plain to see

  Chorus

  Cecil, you're the one who stays Through the pull and through the leaving Cecil, you don't play those games With a love this plain, who needs deceiving

  Outro

  Let the tide go far as it will I'll be here on the sand with you still
