  Verse 1

  The receiver rests beside the glass Under a lamp that burns so low I never learned to hang it up I keep it near in case you call

  Pre-chorus

  I don't need much, just steady light A little warmth to hold the room And you, still on my mind tonight

  Chorus

  Darcey, you're the quiet in the noise The one I choose above all choice No need to shout it, no need to try Darcey, you're the reason for the light

  Verse 2

  The ashtray's empty, cold and clean No smoke to hide what's plain to see I never needed all that haze Just you, exactly how you are

  Pre-chorus

  I don't need much, just steady light A little warmth to hold the room And you, still on my mind tonight

  Chorus

  Darcey, you're the quiet in the noise The one I choose above all choice No need to shout it, no need to try Darcey, you're the reason for the light

  Bridge

  Some loves burn loud, then burn out fast Ours just sits here, plain and true Nothing fancy, nothing rushed Just a table, and a room with you

  Chorus

  Darcey, you're the quiet in the noise The one I choose above all choice No need to shout it, no need to try Darcey, you're the reason for the light

  Outro

  The lamp still burns beside the glass And I still leave the line for you

  A quiet doo wop love song about the steady, unshowy kind of devotion, built from the small act of thumbing through old records.

  Verse 1

  Dust rises up from the crate Every worn old sleeve feels like fate I stop on one gone soft and grey And think of you in a different way

  Pre-chorus

  Every cover holds a little scar Every song was playing somewhere, somewhere far But none of them sound like where you are

  Chorus

  Darcey, you're the calm in my chest Darcey, you make plain look like the best No song on this shelf gets it right You're the one that plays through the night

  Verse 2

  Some spines are cracked, some hold up fine I run my thumb along every line None of them ever needed to try You just are, and that's why

  Pre-chorus

  Every cover holds a little scar Every song was playing somewhere, somewhere far But none of them sound like where you are

  Chorus

  Darcey, you're the calm in my chest Darcey, you make plain look like the best No song on this shelf gets it right You're the one that plays through the night

  Bridge

  I don't need the needle to drop To know that with you, my worry stops You steady me without a sound That's the quietest love I've found

  Chorus

  Darcey, you're the calm in my chest Darcey, you make plain look like the best No song on this shelf gets it right You're the one that plays through the night

  Outro

  Let the dust settle back in the crate You're still the one I'd pick, first or late

  Verse 1

  Salt water jumps the metal rail You laugh before the spray lands I watch you lean into the wind And reach without thinking for my hand

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing here is fancy or new Just orange buoys and a grey sea But standing next to you

  Chorus

  Darcey, you're the calm in the noise The steady thing I lean upon Nobody holds a room like you, Darcey And nobody ever will when you're gone

  Verse 2

  The railing's cold beneath our hands You don't let go, you never do I've walked this same stretch on my own It only means something with you

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing here is fancy or new Just orange buoys and a grey sea But standing next to you

  Chorus

  Darcey, you're the calm in the noise The steady thing I lean upon Nobody holds a room like you, Darcey And nobody ever will when you're gone

  Bridge

  Let the tide come, let it go I'm not moving from this rail You're the reason I don't feel small When the water turns and the wind picks up

  Chorus

  Darcey, you're the calm in the noise The steady thing I lean upon Nobody holds a room like you, Darcey And nobody ever will when you're gone

  Outro

  Let the green water keep on splashing I'll stay right here, holding the line
