  Verse 1

  Salt is building on the railing wind is working at the paint you just watch it, never failing calm as something with no name saint

  Chorus

  Eugene, you keep me steady here standing where the sea runs between nothing fancy, nothing to fear just this deck and you, Eugene

  Verse 2

  Spray keeps coming off the water cold enough to sting my face you don't flinch, you just get harder planted in your quiet place

  Pre-chorus

  I've watched you weather every crossing never once you turned for home something in me keeps on tossing

  Chorus

  Eugene, you keep me steady here standing where the sea runs between nothing fancy, nothing to fear just this deck and you, Eugene

  Bridge

  Rust will spread and paint will thin but you don't ask the years to slow I'd take this rail again, again just to stand where you still go

  Chorus

  Eugene, you keep me steady here standing where the sea runs between nothing fancy, nothing to fear just this deck and you, Eugene

  Outro

  Let the salt keep coming, let it stay you're the one thing I don't wash away

  Verse 1

  I turn the desk lamp on at nine Just to feel you're in the room Two mugs of tea gone cold and fine Your voice still cuts right through the gloom

  Pre-chorus

  You ask me how my day has been Nothing much to tell you, honestly But I don't want to hang up yet

  Chorus

  Eugene, you make the quiet kind This calm, I've never known before Yellow light and your voice, Eugene Is worth more than a crowded room

  Verse 2

  You laugh and the whole house feels warm Even though you're miles away I trace circles on the old wood grain Waiting on whatever you'll say

  Bridge

  No big words, no grand routine Just this lamp and you on the line That's enough to make it good

  Chorus

  Eugene, you make the quiet kind This calm, I've never known before Yellow light and your voice, Eugene Is worth more than a crowded room

  Outro

  I'll leave this lamp burning for you Two mugs waiting, side by side

  Verse 1

  The fire is down to ash and glow Everything loud has gone down low Still I find you in the haze Eugene, you steady all my days

  Pre-chorus

  I don't need the flame to roar Don't need more than what's in store Just this warmth that pulls me in

  Chorus

  Eugene, you're the ember not the blaze Burning slow through all my days Quiet love that holds the scene Nothing shakes what's calm between

  Verse 2

  Smoke goes up and disappears You've stayed steady through the years Ash falls soft but you remain Warmer than the wind and rain

  Bridge

  Let the sparks all fade to grey I'm not going, come what may You're the coal beneath it all Steady when the embers fall

  Chorus

  Eugene, you're the ember not the blaze Burning slow through all my days Quiet love that holds the scene Nothing shakes what's calm between

  Outro

  The fire's gone but you still glow You're the warmth I'll always know
