  Verse 1

  Rain caught the red of your coat Ran down and found your shoe Some ordinary Tuesday But I stood there loving you

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing about it was staged No reason my chest went tight Just you in the falling water Turning the grey to light

  Chorus

  Connie, you steady my hands Connie, you slow down the rain No one else stops me like this No one else feels like home again

  Verse 2

  You shake the wet from your sleeve Laugh like it's nothing at all I keep these small quiet minutes Long after the moments fall

  Bridge

  I've loved you loud, I've loved you plain Through sunshine and through this rain Every version stays the same

  Chorus

  Connie, you steady my hands Connie, you slow down the rain No one else stops me like this No one else feels like home again

  Outro

  The leather still carries that mark A little proof I loved you here

  Verse 1

  That old plastic box still cracks Sitting on the cloth, red and black You packed it before the sun was up Filled with love in a chipped old cup

  Chorus

  Connie, you're the steady kind of true Nobody loves like you do Through the stony days, the bonny ones too I keep coming home to you

  Verse 2

  Some folks want the shiny, new I just want the box, and you Worn at the edges, tried and tested Nothing about us feels suggested

  Pre-chorus

  Every fold in that old red cloth Says you never once held back or scoffed And that kind of love don't come around twice

  Chorus

  Connie, you're the steady kind of true Nobody loves like you do Through the stony days, the bonny ones too I keep coming home to you

  Bridge

  I don't need the world to shout your name I just need you here, again, the same Cracked box, red cloth, your hands, this life No one else could hold it half as right

  Chorus

  Connie, you're the steady kind of true Nobody loves like you do Through the stony days, the bonny ones too I keep coming home to you

  Outro

  That old box still sits and waits Held by you, love never fades

  Verse 1

  Streetlamp humming, going stony grey Puddles catching all the light away Rain keeps coming down in sheets Still I'd rather walk with you than stay

  Chorus

  Connie, you're the steady in my chest Every step with you, I feel blessed Some folk chase the bonny and the loud Connie, you were always more than the rest

  Verse 2

  Our boots keep time on the wet stone Nobody's walking home alone You laugh and it echoes down the road That sound's the only one I've known

  Pre-chorus

  No promises dressed up as gold No story that gets bigger when it's told Just this, plain and true and slow

  Chorus

  Connie, you're the steady in my chest Every step with you, I feel blessed Some folk chase the bonny and the loud Connie, you were always more than the rest

  Bridge

  Let the lamp above us flicker out I'd know your hand without a doubt Some nights don't need a single word

  Chorus

  Connie, you're the steady in my chest Every step with you, I feel blessed Some folk chase the bonny and the loud Connie, you were always more than the rest

  Outro

  Streetlamp's buzzing, boots are wet You're the one I won't forget
