  Verse 1

  Grease-stained bag against my palms The fryer light still burning low You laughed and passed the warmth across Nowhere else I'd rather go

  Pre-chorus

  Some things stay long after The steam has left the air I keep coming back to you

  Chorus

  Diane, you're the warmth I hold onto Cold hands finding you again Simple as that bag between us Nothing complicated, just Diane

  Verse 2

  Years could pass or just a night It wouldn't change what this became You made the ordinary bright Turned a street corner to terrain

  Chorus

  Diane, you're the warmth I hold onto Cold hands finding you again Simple as that bag between us Nothing complicated, just Diane

  Bridge

  I don't need the grand refrain No champagne, no bright arcane design Just your hand, steady through the rain Just this quiet love of mine

  Chorus

  Diane, you're the warmth I hold onto Cold hands finding you again Simple as that bag between us Nothing complicated, just Diane

  Outro

  Still that same warmth in my hands Still you, Diane, still you

  Verse 1

  Black shoulders moving through the drizzle You never rush, never fizzle I match my steps to your slow time There's nowhere better I could climb

  Pre-chorus

  I've counted all the ways I'm sure No need to search for something more Just say the word and I'll stay near

  Chorus

  Diane, you're steady when the skies won't clear I'll take this weather if you're here No need to shine, no need to sustain I'm happiest walking slow in the rain with Diane

  Verse 2

  You laugh at nothing, low and true I fall in love with that laugh too The wet road shines beneath our feet No grand plan, just something sweet

  Bridge

  Let the whole world hurry past This is the kind of love that lasts No fireworks, no champagne Just you, unhurried, through the rain

  Chorus

  Diane, you're steady when the skies won't clear I'll take this weather if you're here No need to shine, no need to sustain I'm happiest walking slow in the rain with Diane

  Outro

  Black fabric, wet with drizzle still I'd walk this road again, I will

  Verse 1

  The deck rolls but I keep my feet the crossing's rough, the wind won't quit there's a green ring bolted to the rail and you're the one thing built to keep

  Chorus

  Diane, you hold me steady again through every storm, through every strain you're fixed here when the water's wild Diane, you're the one thing that will sustain

  Verse 2

  I've seen calm water, I've seen worse and you don't flinch at either one you're bolted down when the deck tilts you never once let go, not once

  Pre-chorus

  I used to think love had to shine like something poured out, like champagne but it's just this, it's just staying

  Chorus

  Diane, you hold me steady again through every storm, through every strain you're fixed here when the water's wild Diane, you're the one thing that will sustain

  Bridge

  No current pulls you off the wall no wave has ever won you over you stay exactly where I need you and that is not a small thing at all

  Chorus

  Diane, you hold me steady again through every storm, through every strain you're fixed here when the water's wild Diane, you're the one thing that will sustain

  Outro

  The deck still rolls, the wind won't quit but I found the ring, and it was you
