  Verse 1

  You set two plates down at noon Pull up a chair, hum a tune The shaker wobbles when you sit I laugh, and you don't mind a bit

  Chorus

  Gloria, you steady my whole day Simple things you turn to gold, Gloria No grand show, no big story Just you here, that's my glory

  Verse 2

  You pour the vinegar with care Like it matters that it's there Small hands doing ordinary things And somehow that's what living brings

  Pre-chorus

  I don't need the world to shine Just this table, just this time Just you looking back at mine

  Chorus

  Gloria, you steady my whole day Simple things you turn to gold, Gloria No grand show, no big story Just you here, that's my glory

  Bridge

  Years could pass or just this hour Either way, you're still my power Nothing fades what we have grown

  Chorus

  Gloria, you steady my whole day Simple things you turn to gold, Gloria No grand show, no big story Just you here, that's my glory

  Outro

  The shaker sits, the plate is bare Still I'd choose this everywhere

  Verse 1

  Two mugs pushed against the papers one for me and one for you the coffee's gone cold again I never mind, I never worry

  Chorus

  Gloria, you make the plain days good you stay when nothing's understood some kind of steady, quiet thing Gloria, you're better than I knew I could

  Verse 2

  You always take the chipped one and never once complain to me that small thing tells me everything some things don't need explaining, truly

  Pre-chorus

  I've watched you move around this table a hundred mornings, maybe more and every time it feels like

  Chorus

  Gloria, you make the plain days good you stay when nothing's understood some kind of steady, quiet thing Gloria, you're better than I knew I could

  Bridge

  No fireworks, no grand affair just you, still here, still there that's the kind of love I chose

  Chorus

  Gloria, you make the plain days good you stay when nothing's understood some kind of steady, quiet thing Gloria, you're better than I knew I could

  Outro

  Two mugs still sit there waiting proof enough of what we've made

  Verse 1

  The bench is bolted to the pier it never drifts, it never leaves and that is how I hold you here the way the iron holds the sleeves

  Pre-chorus

  Some things are built to hold their ground some loves just settle, make no sound but mine keeps reaching out to you

  Chorus

  Gloria, you're the steady kind the calm inside the water's roar I found a peace I didn't mind Gloria, I keep coming back for more

  Verse 2

  I've watched the tide come in and out and still that bench stays where it stood you're what I never had to doubt the one sure thing I understood

  Bridge

  Paint peels slow but the frame stays true nothing fades the way I feel for you let the water rise, let the wind blow hard I'm not moving from this yard

  Chorus

  Gloria, you're the steady kind the calm inside the water's roar I found a peace I didn't mind Gloria, I keep coming back for more

  Outro

  Long after the paint has gone I'll still be sitting, holding on
