  Verse 1

  The vinegar shaker rattles on the mat Nothing fancy about where we're at But I keep looking up at you Steady under something small like that

  Pre-chorus

  You don't need the world to notice You just need someone who knows And I'm leaning closer now

  Chorus

  Hilda, you're the calm I chose Something honest, something that just grows Not the wildest thing I've found But wilder, Hilda, than anyone else knows

  Verse 2

  We've said nothing much in an hour Just the shaker and its small power Rattling soft between our hands And you, still here, still ours

  Chorus

  Hilda, you're the calm I chose Something honest, something that just grows Not the wildest thing I've found But wilder, Hilda, than anyone else knows

  Bridge

  I've had louder, I've had brighter I never needed either one You made the ordinary lighter Just by staying when it's done

  Chorus

  Hilda, you're the calm I chose Something honest, something that just grows Not the wildest thing I've found But wilder, Hilda, than anyone else knows

  Outro

  The shaker's still there, rattling on Long after the rest is gone

  Verse 1

  Frost was cracking beneath my boots Out past the fence and tangled roots I kept walking, cold to the bone Just to tell you, you're not alone

  Pre-chorus

  I've crossed colder ground than this Just to reach you, just for this So hold on, there's more to say

  Chorus

  Hilda, you're the fire I walk to Steady as the ground I'm standing on Hilda, through the frost and through the wilder Nights, you're the one I lean upon

  Verse 2

  The wire out there is rusted through But nothing rusts what's between us two Winters come and winters go You're the warmth beneath the snow

  Pre-chorus

  I've crossed colder ground than this Just to reach you, just for this So hold on, there's more to say

  Chorus

  Hilda, you're the fire I walk to Steady as the ground I'm standing on Hilda, through the frost and through the wilder Nights, you're the one I lean upon

  Bridge

  Let the ground stay hard and grey Doesn't matter, come what may You're the reason I don't turn back Even on the darkest track

  Chorus

  Hilda, you're the fire I walk to Steady as the ground I'm standing on Hilda, through the frost and through the wilder Nights, you're the one I lean upon

  Outro

  The frost still cracks beneath my boots But I keep walking, straight to you

  Verse 1

  Fog sits heavy on the road tonight but I know just where you are Yellow beams cut through the grey and you're closer than the furthest star

  Chorus

  Hilda, you're the light I drive toward when the whole world turns to grey No storm ever made me wilder than the thought of losing you one day

  Verse 2

  Glass shelter standing in the mist holds its ground and doesn't bend That's the kind of love you give steady, patient, without end

  Pre-chorus

  I've been slower, I've been milder learned to wait instead of chase Now I'm driving straight toward you

  Chorus

  Hilda, you're the light I drive toward when the whole world turns to grey No storm ever made me wilder than the thought of losing you one day

  Bridge

  Some nights the fog won't lift at all but you're the one thing I still see Every road I've ever taken somehow leads back to you and me

  Chorus

  Hilda, you're the light I drive toward when the whole world turns to grey No storm ever made me wilder than the thought of losing you one day

  Outro

  The fog will lift, the way it does and there you'll be, still holding the light
