  Verse 1

  Leaves keep falling on the table Yellow more than we are able Your mug's warm against your hand I could sit here, understand

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing here is asking much Just your voice and just this touch I could stay for one more round

  Chorus

  Elsie, this is all I need Just this bench and just this leaf You beside me, tea gone cold Elsie, that's worth more than gold

  Verse 2

  Wind is moving through the garden Both our mugs have lost their warm Still you haven't moved an inch I don't want this hour to end

  Chorus

  Elsie, this is all I need Just this bench and just this leaf You beside me, tea gone cold Elsie, that's worth more than gold

  Bridge

  No one's watching, no one's near Just the two of us right here I keep learning what you're worth Sitting still on all this earth

  Chorus

  Elsie, this is all I need Just this bench and just this leaf You beside me, tea gone cold Elsie, that's worth more than gold

  Outro

  Leaves will bury both our mugs I'll still be right here with you

  Verse 1

  Your hand found mine by chance reaching for the same old book two strangers to the shelf but something in that look

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing planned, nothing said just fingers where the pages start and something quiet moved

  Chorus

  Elsie, that was all it took a touch too small to name now you're the one I reach for Elsie, you're not the same

  Verse 2

  Years could pass and shelves could change and books could fall from view but I would know your hand in any room, by you

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing planned, nothing said just fingers where the pages start and something quiet moved

  Chorus

  Elsie, that was all it took a touch too small to name now you're the one I reach for Elsie, you're not the same

  Bridge

  Some loves come with thunder mine came soft as turning pages you were just there beside me and you stayed through all the ages

  Chorus

  Elsie, that was all it took a touch too small to name now you're the one I reach for Elsie, you're not the same

  Outro

  Somewhere there's a shelf still standing and my hand still finds your own

  Verse 1

  Rain came down and soaked me through I left my footprints on the mat You never once made a fuss You just handed me a towel like that

  Pre-chorus

  You could have said I tracked it in You could have sighed and turned away But you just laughed and pulled me close

  Chorus

  Elsie, you make the storm feel small Nothing with you is ever messy Even soaked, I'm not scared to fall There's no place safer, Elsie

  Verse 2

  Some nights I come home wrung right out Nothing left to give or say You don't ask me to explain You just make the shaking go away

  Bridge

  Every door I've ever shut Opens easy when it's you No need to wipe my feet at all You take me dripping, through and through

  Chorus

  Elsie, you make the storm feel small Nothing with you is ever messy Even soaked, I'm not scared to fall There's no place safer, Elsie

  Outro

  Let the rain keep coming down My shoes can dry right where they are
