  Verse 1

  I built this ring with my own hands Just to keep something warm and true Every ember that drops and dies Only makes room for one more like you

  Chorus

  Ellie, you're the fire I bank at night Something steady, something slow You don't need to be the flame Ellie, you're the coal that keeps the glow

  Verse 2

  Watch how gently the sparks come down Never rushing, never loud You have never needed noise To be the warmest thing around

  Pre-chorus

  Wind keeps pulling at the edges Trying hard to make it fade Still it holds because you're near it

  Chorus

  Ellie, you're the fire I bank at night Something steady, something slow You don't need to be the flame Ellie, you're the coal that keeps the glow

  Bridge

  Let the whole world cool around us I'll stay close and tend to you Nothing here needs to be bright It only needs to be true

  Chorus

  Ellie, you're the fire I bank at night Something steady, something slow You don't need to be the flame Ellie, you're the coal that keeps the glow

  Outro

  Morning comes and finds the stones still warm Proof that quiet love was here

  Verse 1

  Streetlamps turn the puddles gold Your sleeve keeps brushing against mine Neither of us mentions the rain We slow down like we planned to grow old

  Chorus

  Ellie, the streets are shining wet Nothing about this feels like a bet You laugh and the whole night softens Ellie, I'm not done with you yet

  Verse 2

  Your wool coat smells like the cold outside Somehow that feels like home to me We pass the same shop three times over Talking just to keep step by your side

  Pre-chorus

  Every quiet street sounds louder now You've gone and made the ordinary glow Say the word and we'll just keep walking

  Chorus

  Ellie, the streets are shining wet Nothing about this feels like a bet You laugh and the whole night softens Ellie, I'm not done with you yet

  Bridge

  No grand plan, just this pace we've found Your hand stays warm against the sound of rain Some loves shout, but ours just walks along Steady as the orange light on the ground

  Chorus

  Ellie, the streets are shining wet Nothing about this feels like a bet You laugh and the whole night softens Ellie, I'm not done with you yet

  Outro

  Long after the streetlamps fade to grey Your sleeve will still be the warmth I remember

  Verse 1

  Gorse bends low but holds the ground Cold wind comes with a hard sound Still it stands on that steep rise That's the calm I see in your eyes

  Pre-chorus

  I've watched the weather turn and shove Nothing shakes what I call love So here's the thing I'm thinking of

  Chorus

  Ellie, you're the steady part Gold against the grey, right from the start Wind can howl and skies turn to steel Ellie, you're the thing that's real

  Verse 2

  You never flinch when things get rough You just root down, that's enough I lean on you and I don't fall You're the reason I stand tall

  Bridge

  Some loves fade when the weather's bad Mine gets sure of what it had You're the warm inside the cold Better now than when we started, truer than we're told

  Chorus

  Ellie, you're the steady part Gold against the grey, right from the start Wind can howl and skies turn to steel Ellie, you're the thing that's real

  Outro

  Let the wind come, let it blow I'm not moving, now you know
