Verse 1
Crumbs of pork pie on the blanket Sun still warm where the day sank it You laugh and brush them from your knee And that small laugh undoes me completely
Pre-chorus
I don't need the grand or the golden Just this quiet, this way of holding Something is rising, it won't settle
Chorus
Ethel, you are steady and you're gentle Simple as a kettle on the stove Every plain thing turns to special Ethel, it's you my whole heart chose
Verse 2
You fold the blanket, shake it twice Save the last slice, call it my slice Nothing about this hour was planned But I would live in it if I can
Bridge
No metal could weigh more than this feeling No ceiling higher than your name said soft Whatever we are still becoming I'm not leaving, I've counted the cost
Chorus
Ethel, you are steady and you're gentle Simple as a kettle on the stove Every plain thing turns to special Ethel, it's you my whole heart chose
Outro
Crumbs still scattered on the red Nothing wasted that your hands have fed
Hands on the Edge
Bossa nova · Bossa · Nylon guitar · BreezyA quiet, plain love song for Ethel, built around a small still moment at a sink, for any kind of love, new, long, or steady.

Verse 1
My hands rest on the edge of steel water running slow and clear I think of nothing else but you how you always bring me here
Pre-chorus
Some days are loud and some are plain but you stay steady through it all and now my heart is leaning in
Chorus
Ethel, you are gentle and you're true nothing about you feels like metal steady as a hand I hold Ethel, you are settled, and I settle
Verse 2
The kettle clicks, the morning starts you hum a tune I half recall small things become the whole of it when you're the one behind it all
Pre-chorus
Some days are loud and some are plain but you stay steady through it all and now my heart is leaning in
Chorus
Ethel, you are gentle and you're true nothing about you feels like metal steady as a hand I hold Ethel, you are settled, and I settle
Bridge
No grand words, just this quiet room just your hands and mine close by that is where I want to stay
Chorus
Ethel, you are gentle and you're true nothing about you feels like metal steady as a hand I hold Ethel, you are settled, and I settle
Outro
My hands still rest here on the steel and still it's you I'm thinking of

Verse 1
Rain taps the bench where we sit Green plastic, cold under my hand I don't need the crossing to end I just need you close as we land
Pre-chorus
You don't ask for much from me Just this seat and the sound of the sea But I've got more than that to give
Chorus
Ethel, you make the grey feel gentle You turn the noise down low Nothing about you is metal You're the softest place I know
Verse 2
The ferry rocks and you don't move You watch the water, calm and still I think that's why I trust you so true You've never once needed to prove you will
Chorus
Ethel, you make the grey feel gentle You turn the noise down low Nothing about you is metal You're the softest place I know
Bridge
No storm has ever made you run You settle in, you stay for the ride I'd cross this water again and again Just to sit right here by your side
Chorus
Ethel, you make the grey feel gentle You turn the noise down low Nothing about you is metal You're the softest place I know
Outro
Let the rain keep tapping the glass I'll stay on this bench as long as you last
