  Verse 1

  You pinned the washing out at noon Humming some forgotten tune Wind took the sheets and let them go Nothing on this line feels new since you

  Pre-chorus

  You made a home from simple things Gave the plainest hour wings Now I'm standing here believing

  Chorus

  Clara, you're the calm inside my day Every small thing points your way Two socks swinging, holding on Clara, you're the reason I don't stray

  Verse 2

  You hang our washing side by side One sock yours and one sock mine Wind can pull but never wins Nothing comes between what's tied

  Bridge

  Not a grand thing, just a line Just your hand still holding mine Ordinary, and it's enough

  Chorus

  Clara, you're the calm inside my day Every small thing points your way Two socks swinging, holding on Clara, you're the reason I don't stray

  Outro

  The wind still moves that same old line Still finds you there, and I am fine

  Verse 1

  You slide the plate over to me Half the sandwich, no need to ask Some things get simpler, not harder Clara, you make the giving last

  Pre-chorus

  The lamp keeps flickering above us Like it can't believe its luck Something in me is getting louder

  Chorus

  Clara, you turn the whole room clearer Every corner, every shadowed part Nobody's love has felt nearer Clara, you're steady in my heart

  Verse 2

  We split the hours the way we split lunch Whatever's left, we make it enough You never once counted what I owe you That's the quiet shape of your love

  Pre-chorus

  The lamp keeps flickering above us Like it can't believe its luck Something in me is getting louder

  Chorus

  Clara, you turn the whole room clearer Every corner, every shadowed part Nobody's love has felt nearer Clara, you're steady in my heart

  Bridge

  I don't need the whole Sahara Just this desk and half a plate Whatever's small, you make it bigger You make the waiting worth the wait

  Chorus

  Clara, you turn the whole room clearer Every corner, every shadowed part Nobody's love has felt nearer Clara, you're steady in my heart

  Outro

  The lamp's still going, the plate still shared Clara, I'm glad you're here

  Verse 1

  Kitchen full of noise and heat Someone's laugh, a shuffling of feet Through the crowd you hand me a glass Somehow the whole room starts to pass

  Pre-chorus

  Every voice turns down to a hum When you look at me the noise is gone I forget what I was waiting for

  Chorus

  Clara, you make the loud room clearer Nothing else in here gets nearer Clara, I'd cross this whole party twice Just to hear you say my name once

  Verse 2

  Somebody spills a drink and laughs You catch my eye across the gap Doesn't matter who else is there You're the only thing in the air

  Pre-chorus

  Every voice turns down to a hum When you look at me the noise is gone I forget what I was waiting for

  Chorus

  Clara, you make the loud room clearer Nothing else in here gets nearer Clara, I'd cross this whole party twice Just to hear you say my name once

  Bridge

  Doesn't have to be a party at all Just you, steady, standing tall Some rooms hold a hundred faces Yours is the one my heart chases

  Chorus

  Clara, you make the loud room clearer Nothing else in here gets nearer Clara, I'd cross this whole party twice Just to hear you say my name once

  Outro

  Hand me that glass again sometime I'll follow your voice through any crowd
