  Verse 1

  The rail out there has gone to rust salt spray keeps finding what it wants but nothing wears the way I feared I trust you more with every gust

  Chorus

  Mira, you're the one thing steady however hard the wind gets ready salt can't touch what we've become Mira, holding on already

  Verse 2

  I thought that love would need protecting some careful shelter, walls connecting but you just stood there in the weather and somehow that felt like affection

  Pre-chorus

  I've watched things rust and fall apart but you keep beating like a start of something steady, something true

  Chorus

  Mira, you're the one thing steady however hard the wind gets ready salt can't touch what we've become Mira, holding on already

  Bridge

  Let the spray come, let it try we've weathered worse and said no goodbye I'm not asking for a shelter just for you, standing nearby

  Chorus

  Mira, you're the one thing steady however hard the wind gets ready salt can't touch what we've become Mira, holding on already

  Outro

  That rail's still standing, rust and all and so are we, and so are we

  Verse 1

  I watch you rinse the last white cup water going down slow you hum something with no name the only song I need to know

  Chorus

  Mira, this is what I choose not the big and not the loud just you here with your sleeves pushed up and I am standing proud

  Verse 2

  Your hands go still under the tap like you forgot what you were doing I could watch you do nothing at all and call the whole day worth pursuing

  Pre-chorus

  Some loves need the fireworks lit some just need a kitchen light and I keep finding mine in this

  Chorus

  Mira, this is what I choose not the big and not the loud just you here with your sleeves pushed up and I am standing proud

  Bridge

  No one else gets to see this part the soap gone quiet, the room gone still you drying your hands on an old towel and somehow that is all I want

  Chorus

  Mira, this is what I choose not the big and not the loud just you here with your sleeves pushed up and I am standing proud

  Outro

  The water's long gone down the drain but you're still here, and so am I

  Verse 1

  The fire's almost done for the night But I don't want to leave your side You lean in closer to the glow There's no place else I'd rather go

  Pre-chorus

  The smoke goes up and disappears But something stays when you are near I feel it building, and I'm sure

  Chorus

  Mira, you make the whole world clearer Nothing's louder, nothing's nearer However long this fire lasts I'll keep you warmer than the ash

  Verse 2

  Wet ash falls slow on charred wood You watch it settle, and it's good I like the way you hold the quiet You never have to try to buy it

  Chorus

  Mira, you make the whole world clearer Nothing's louder, nothing's nearer However long this fire lasts I'll keep you warmer than the ash

  Bridge

  Some loves burn fast and bright and gone Ours just keeps on going on Slow coals under a grey skin Still enough heat to pull me in

  Chorus

  Mira, you make the whole world clearer Nothing's louder, nothing's nearer However long this fire lasts I'll keep you warmer than the ash

  Outro

  The fire's almost out, and still I'd sit here with you if you will
