  Verse 1

  Eggs roll off the tartan cloth you catch them before I lose both careless with a steady hand this is how I understand

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing here is dressed to impress just salt and bread and quietness and something building word by word

  Chorus

  Horace, you make the plain days good you sit right where the sun rate stood Horace, there's no need to chase I found my calm inside this place

  Verse 2

  You peel the shell in one long turn hand it over, plain concern the little things you always do say more than speeches ever knew

  Chorus

  Horace, you make the plain days good you sit right where the sun rate stood Horace, there's no need to chase I found my calm inside this place

  Bridge

  No one else would sit this still just you, the grass, the window sill and somehow that is everything

  Chorus

  Horace, you make the plain days good you sit right where the sun rate stood Horace, there's no need to chase I found my calm inside this place

  Outro

  The eggs have stopped, the cloth lies still you're the one I'm choosing still

  Verse 1

  Frost on the ground, and our breath rising Steam off the flasks, no need for talking Cold cuts through the whole white forest You just hand me the cup you're holding

  Chorus

  Horace, you keep the warmth close by No need to reach, no need to try This is love with the noise stripped out Horace, you never taught me to lie

  Verse 2

  Some folks need the words said loudly I just need you standing near me Your hand finds mine without looking That's the kind of love that's steady

  Pre-chorus

  I've watched you love without asking for praise Watched you give without counting the days Now the quiet's about to break

  Chorus

  Horace, you keep the warmth close by No need to reach, no need to try This is love with the noise stripped out Horace, you never taught me to lie

  Bridge

  Let the whole field freeze around us Let the light go thin and grey I've got what I need already You're not going anywhere

  Chorus

  Horace, you keep the warmth close by No need to reach, no need to try This is love with the noise stripped out Horace, you never taught me to lie

  Outro

  Two flasks steaming in the cold still One is yours, and it always will

  Verse 1

  I laid the dry wood down for you Stacked it slow inside the stones Waited for a single spark Something old woke in my bones

  Pre-chorus

  I've carried matches half my life Never struck them till you came Now the circle's holding light

  Chorus

  Horace, you're the flame that stayed Steady when the wind got fierce Every branch I lay for you Catches like it's meant to burn, Horace

  Verse 2

  You don't need the whole forest lit One warm ring is all we need Sit here with me on the stone Watch the sparks rise up and feed

  Chorus

  Horace, you're the flame that stayed Steady when the wind got fierce Every branch I lay for you Catches like it's meant to burn, Horace

  Bridge

  Let the smoke climb high and slow No need to chase what doesn't stay This is the kind of fire I know Small, and built to last the day

  Chorus

  Horace, you're the flame that stayed Steady when the wind got fierce Every branch I lay for you Catches like it's meant to burn, Horace

  Outro

  The stones are warm long after dark I'm glad I brought you here to spark
