  Verse 1

  Dust on my fingers, cardboard worn thin I found this bin and stayed a while You read the labels closer than skin Held up a record just to see me smile

  Chorus

  Eva, you turn the ordinary gold Every quiet hour feels like more Nothing about this love is old I'd choose this same slow afternoon once more

  Verse 2

  Some songs are scratched, some barely play You said the worn ones sound the most true I think that's how love works anyway Better for all the wear it's been through

  Pre-chorus

  I'm not looking for anything new There's a whole world pressed in this small store But none of it means much without you

  Chorus

  Eva, you turn the ordinary gold Every quiet hour feels like more Nothing about this love is old I'd choose this same slow afternoon once more

  Bridge

  Doesn't matter if it's new or years deep Doesn't matter what the record says Love like this is quiet, easy to keep Steady as a hand that never strays

  Chorus

  Eva, you turn the ordinary gold Every quiet hour feels like more Nothing about this love is old I'd choose this same slow afternoon once more

  Outro

  Somewhere there's a bin of old folk songs And you, still turning sleeves for me

  Verse 1

  The railings shake but never break Cold waves crash for your sake I stand here with my hands on the rail And think how you never fail

  Pre-chorus

  The water climbs, the wood holds tight I keep watch here every night Something in me leans toward the light

  Chorus

  Eva, you're the steady one You hold like railings hold the sun Eva, through the roughest weather I believe in us together

  Verse 2

  The green paint chips but the frame stays true That's the kind of love I found in you Planks below us creak and bend Still they carry us to the end

  Pre-chorus

  The water climbs, the wood holds tight I keep watch here every night Something in me leans toward the light

  Chorus

  Eva, you're the steady one You hold like railings hold the sun Eva, through the roughest weather I believe in us together

  Bridge

  Let the grey sea roar and climb You're the one thing steady every time No storm has moved you yet And I'm not one to forget

  Chorus

  Eva, you're the steady one You hold like railings hold the sun Eva, through the roughest weather I believe in us together

  Outro

  Long after the waves have gone still I'll find you there on the rail

  A quiet acoustic soul song about the calm certainty of coming home to someone, built from the image of headlights sweeping across a car park at night.

  Verse 1

  I turn in slow between the lines Light sweeps across the wet tarmac You're just a shape behind the glass But already my whole chest unwinds

  Pre-chorus

  I park the car and just sit still Watching the light fade off the wall Something in this is waiting to spill

  Chorus

  Eva, you're the calm after the drive Every small return feels like arriving Nothing about it needs deciding Eva, that's how I know it's alive

  Verse 2

  Rain keeps falling soft on the roof Engine ticking as it cools down You come out without your coat on Like waiting was never any proof

  Pre-chorus

  I park the car and just sit still Watching the light fade off the wall Something in this is waiting to spill

  Chorus

  Eva, you're the calm after the drive Every small return feels like arriving Nothing about it needs deciding Eva, that's how I know it's alive

  Bridge

  No grand entrance, no big scene Just tail lights fading into grey This is the love that stays

  Chorus

  Eva, you're the calm after the drive Every small return feels like arriving Nothing about it needs deciding Eva, that's how I know it's alive

  Outro

  The lines are still there on the ground And I still come home to that sound
