  Verse 1

  Rain came down on the green tin roof Water ran off the wooden stand I stood close just to watch it drip And you took hold of my hand

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing fancy about this weather Nothing planned about tonight But something in me won't stay quiet

  Chorus

  Eleanor, you're the calm in the storm The one I choose again You make the ordinary hold me Eleanor, through the wind and rain

  Verse 2

  I've seen you laugh at a leaking roof I've seen you steady in the noise You never needed the sun to shine You just find your own kind of poise

  Bridge

  Some folks wait for a better day I'd take this puddle every time If loving you means standing here wet Then let the whole sky lose its mind

  Chorus

  Eleanor, you're the calm in the storm The one I choose again You make the ordinary hold me Eleanor, through the wind and rain

  Outro

  Long after the rain has stopped falling I'll still be glad I stayed

  Verse 1

  Steam curls up from the mug and the toast is warming slow you come down before the light I feel lucky, not just glad

  Pre-chorus

  This is not a new thing rising this is old and still it's true and it's building up to something

  Chorus

  Eleanor, you steady me like a wanderer come home to stay I'm no stranger, no passenger Eleanor, you're mine to keep

  Verse 2

  Some mornings we don't speak at all just the kettle and the light you rest your hand against the wood and I love you plain, not wide

  Pre-chorus

  This is not a new thing rising this is old and still it's true and it's building up to something

  Chorus

  Eleanor, you steady me like a wanderer come home to stay I'm no stranger, no passenger Eleanor, you're mine to keep

  Bridge

  Whatever room we're standing in however far we've come I still turn to find you there the one thing I count on

  Chorus

  Eleanor, you steady me like a wanderer come home to stay I'm no stranger, no passenger Eleanor, you're mine to keep

  Outro

  The mug goes cold, the toast goes cold but you are warm and near

• Yellow Light, Steady Hum

  Cinematic strings · Cinematic · Strings · Swelling

  A quiet, plain love song built from one small night image: a metal pole humming under a streetlight, standing in for how steady this love feels. Good for new love, old love, or anything in between.

  Verse 1

  Yellow light on an empty street just a pole and its steady beat I stood there and thought of you the way stillness has its own hue

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing moving, nothing loud just a hum beneath the crowd and my mind kept turning home

  Chorus

  Eleanor, you're the quiet part the low hum inside my heart not the noise, not the show just the steady undertow

  Verse 2

  Some nights are made of smaller things a buzzing wire, the light it flings I don't need a bigger scene just you, wherever you've been

  Chorus

  Eleanor, you're the quiet part the low hum inside my heart not the noise, not the show just the steady undertow

  Bridge

  No one's watching, no one knows how a small light steadies and grows that's how you sit inside my chest not loud, just certain, just the best

  Chorus

  Eleanor, you're the quiet part the low hum inside my heart not the noise, not the show just the steady undertow

  Outro

  Somewhere a pole still hums its tune I carry you home under that same moon
