  Verse 1

  I found you here where the air runs thick Your name still lands like a struck match, quick You breathe and the whole glass room turns warm I stopped minding any kind of storm

  Chorus

  Holly, you're the heat behind the pane Holly, steady through the wind and rain Nothing outside gets in when you're this near I keep you close and the fog gets clear

  Verse 2

  You trace a line down the misted glass Time in this room moves slow, lets things last I watch you like you're the only weather Something in me just settles, gets better

  Pre-chorus

  Every pane keeps dripping slow Every drop knows where to go Straight to you, that's all I know

  Chorus

  Holly, you're the heat behind the pane Holly, steady through the wind and rain Nothing outside gets in when you're this near I keep you close and the fog gets clear

  Bridge

  Let the whole world stay cold and grey I've got a warmer place to stay It's wherever your hands are resting However plain, it's never testing

  Chorus

  Holly, you're the heat behind the pane Holly, steady through the wind and rain Nothing outside gets in when you're this near I keep you close and the fog gets clear

  Outro

  The glass still runs with slow warm rain I'd choose this room, and you, again

  Verse 1

  Dust settles slow on the sacks The stove keeps ticking through the chill You lean your head against my back And the room goes softer, goes still

  Chorus

  Holly, you're the warmth I trust Steady as the fire burns low There's a calm in you I can't explain Holly, I just love you so

  Verse 2

  Flour on your hands, on your sleeve You laugh like nothing's at stake Some folks chase what they can't keep You just stay, and that's the take

  Pre-chorus

  No need to shout it from a roof No need to make a grand claim Just this kitchen and this proof

  Chorus

  Holly, you're the warmth I trust Steady as the fire burns low There's a calm in you I can't explain Holly, I just love you so

  Bridge

  Years or days, it's all the same Love don't need a bigger stage Just your hand and the low flame Turning seasons into one long page

  Chorus

  Holly, you're the warmth I trust Steady as the fire burns low There's a calm in you I can't explain Holly, I just love you so

  Outro

  The dust still falls on the old sacks And I'm still here, and so are you

• Frozen Ground

  Motown ballad · Motown · Strings · Classic

  A steady, plainspoken Motown ballad about the kind of love that holds firm through the cold, built from the image of walking hard ground beside an old plow.

  Verse 1

  I walk the frozen field alone boots crunching where the plow lies still but I keep thinking of your voice and how you steady what I feel

  Pre-chorus

  The cold gets into everything except the place you keep for me that warmth is pulling me back home

  Chorus

  Holly, you're the reason I come back past the rust and past the frost two names carved should read like this Holly, you're worth what the cold has cost

  Verse 2

  That old plow hasn't moved in years but you and I still find our way through fields that freeze and thaw again you're the warmth that chose to stay

  Bridge

  Some loves are loud, some loves are new mine's just steady, plain and true I don't need spring to know it's real I feel it standing here with you

  Chorus

  Holly, you're the reason I come back past the rust and past the frost two names carved should read like this Holly, you're worth what the cold has cost

  Outro

  The grass will thaw, the field will turn but what I feel for you still burns
