  Verse 1

  Steam is climbing off the pan Yellow light does what it can I forget the water's on Watching how you lean and yawn

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing here is much to see Just a kitchen, you and me But my chest gets loud and full

  Chorus

  Imogen, you steady thing Every ordinary evening You're the warmth I can't explain Imogen, again, again

  Verse 2

  You wipe the counter, hum a tune Say you'll be ready soon I've seen this moment a hundred times It still undoes me, still it climbs

  Chorus

  Imogen, you steady thing Every ordinary evening You're the warmth I can't explain Imogen, again, again

  Bridge

  Not the big days I remember most It's this, the kettle and the toast You, half turned, still checking on me

  Chorus

  Imogen, you steady thing Every ordinary evening You're the warmth I can't explain Imogen, again, again

  Outro

  The window's fogged, the light's still gold This is the story I'll always hold

  Verse 1

  Traffic's stuck and going nowhere Steam is rising off our dinner Coats too heavy for the walk You laugh like you don't care

  Pre-chorus

  Grease is soaking through the paper Cold is climbing up my collar None of that means much to me

  Chorus

  Imogen, you make the waiting easy Streetlights on and traffic wheezy You're the warm part of December Imogen, you're never hard to see

  Verse 2

  Nobody's moving, horns are calling You hand me half of what you're holding Grease upon your winter glove This is how I keep from falling

  Bridge

  Doesn't need to be a big occasion No fireworks or grand persuasion Just you here, breath in the cold air

  Chorus

  Imogen, you make the waiting easy Streetlights on and traffic wheezy You're the warm part of December Imogen, you're never hard to see

  Outro

  Someday I'll forget the traffic But not the grease upon your glove

  Verse 1

  Grey sky sitting low today Stone wall holding its own line You keep something steady in me Calm the way that wall is calm

  Pre-chorus

  I've watched the weather change and change Watched the grass go dull and gold But one thing here has never moved

  Chorus

  Imogen, you're the stone in the field Something sure when the light turns thin Every season, still unsealed I keep coming back again, Imogen

  Verse 2

  Nobody built that wall for show It just keeps the field its own You never needed to be loud Steady is the loudest thing I know

  Bridge

  Let the grey stay if it wants Let the grass keep turning gold None of that decides my heart I already know what I hold

  Chorus

  Imogen, you're the stone in the field Something sure when the light turns thin Every season, still unsealed I keep coming back again, Imogen

  Outro

  Grey sky can do what it likes I'm still walking that same line
