  Verse 1

  Leaves are tumbling past the fence Nothing here holds its place Grass still damp from last night's rain But you, you make no sudden move

  Pre-chorus

  I've watched things scatter, watched them go Watched the wire rust slow But you keep standing where you stood

  Chorus

  Frank, you're the one thing that don't drift Steady when the wind won't lift I never have to check you're there Frank, that's the whole of my one gift

  Verse 2

  Some leaves catch and spin in place Some just sink into the ground I used to think that love moved fast You taught me slow can be the truth

  Pre-chorus

  I've watched things scatter, watched them go Watched the wire rust slow But you keep standing where you stood

  Chorus

  Frank, you're the one thing that don't drift Steady when the wind won't lift I never have to check you're there Frank, that's the whole of my one gift

  Bridge

  No need to chase what doesn't run No need to hold what's already home You're not the wind, you're not the leaves You're the ground that lets them land

  Chorus

  Frank, you're the one thing that don't drift Steady when the wind won't lift I never have to check you're there Frank, that's the whole of my one gift

  Outro

  Let the leaves keep tumbling past the fence I'm just glad you're standing here

  Verse 1

  Boots by the door still caked in mud Steam rising off the mugs we made I didn't plan on loving you It just happened, unafraid

  Pre-chorus

  You never make it a big scene You just show up, steady and true Come closer, let me say your name

  Chorus

  Frank, you're the calm I lean into The tea gone cold and I don't mind Nobody holds a room like Frank You're the best thing I could find

  Verse 2

  The slab is cracked beneath our feet Morning light is thin and grey You hand me mine before I ask That's the kind of love that stays

  Chorus

  Frank, you're the calm I lean into The tea gone cold and I don't mind Nobody holds a room like Frank You're the best thing I could find

  Bridge

  No grand plans, just this small ground Just two mugs and muddy shoes I could stand here every day Long as I get to stand with you

  Chorus

  Frank, you're the calm I lean into The tea gone cold and I don't mind Nobody holds a room like Frank You're the best thing I could find

  Outro

  Boots by the door, the mugs still there Frank, I'd choose this every time

  Verse 1

  Light falls slow across the floor dust turns over near the door books lie open where they fell and I love you, I won't pretend I can't tell

  Chorus

  Frank, you steady me like ground best thing here that I have found every quiet hour we spend Frank, you're my beginning and my end

  Verse 2

  You reach down to turn a page careful like it holds your age sun moves on but you stay still and I love you more than I ever will spill

  Pre-chorus

  I could list the small things here how you laugh, how you stay near but the truth just wants to land

  Chorus

  Frank, you steady me like ground best thing here that I have found every quiet hour we spend Frank, you're my beginning and my end

  Bridge

  No one else has ever made a room feel this way half the light, half the reason I stay

  Chorus

  Frank, you steady me like ground best thing here that I have found every quiet hour we spend Frank, you're my beginning and my end

  Outro

  Dust still turns above the rug this is love, plain as a hug
