  Verse 1

  I pulled the crate down off the shelf found the light doing something slow and I thought of you before myself of all the songs we used to know

  Pre-chorus

  Every sleeve is worn at the edge like the years we have spent so far and I keep coming back to the pledge that says you're who you are

  Chorus

  Montague, you steady my hands you turn dust into something bright nothing about this love feels vague when you're the one I hold tonight

  Verse 2

  You used to hum while the needle dropped your voice a little rough, a little true I never wanted the music stopped not while I was sat with you

  Chorus

  Montague, you steady my hands you turn dust into something bright nothing about this love feels vague when you're the one I hold tonight

  Bridge

  No plague could touch what we have built no far off place could pull it thin I'd argue this until the end that you're the best thing I fell in

  Chorus

  Montague, you steady my hands you turn dust into something bright nothing about this love feels vague when you're the one I hold tonight

  Outro

  I'll close the crate and leave the light but I'm still holding on to you

  Verse 1

  Wooden pegs along the wire Damp denim swaying, plain and true Nothing fancy in the way you love Just the sort of steady I need too

  Pre-chorus

  You never asked for praise or proof Just kept the line from breaking through Now I'm standing here, about to say

  Chorus

  Montague, you hold the line Nothing shakes you, nothing frays you Some folks argue, some folks plague you I just love you, Montague

  Verse 2

  The wire twists but never snaps Bends a little, then stays true That's the shape of how you love me Quiet, certain, nothing new to prove

  Pre-chorus

  You never asked for praise or proof Just kept the line from breaking through Now I'm standing here, about to say

  Chorus

  Montague, you hold the line Nothing shakes you, nothing frays you Some folks argue, some folks plague you I just love you, Montague

  Bridge

  No grand gesture, no vague you Just the same hands, every day Holding on when winds come through That's the love that never fades

  Chorus

  Montague, you hold the line Nothing shakes you, nothing frays you Some folks argue, some folks plague you I just love you, Montague

  Outro

  The wire still holds what the wind brings And I still hold you, through everything

  Verse 1

  Brown leaves are stuck to the paving won't budge no matter the wind I stood there and watched them holding that's how I'm holding you in

  Chorus

  Montague, you're the steady hand I know Nothing about you is vague to me Through every season, come rain or snow You're the one truth I can plainly see

  Verse 2

  The hosepipe's gone rusted with waiting curled up by the wall since spring But you never once needed asking you just stayed, you just stayed for everything

  Pre-chorus

  I've got no clever words prepared No grand plan, no elaborate scheme Just this feeling that won't be spared

  Chorus

  Montague, you're the steady hand I know Nothing about you is vague to me Through every season, come rain or snow You're the one truth I can plainly see

  Bridge

  Not new love, not old love, just true love The kind that doesn't argue with time You are the constant I'm building toward Simple as that, and it's all mine

  Chorus

  Montague, you're the steady hand I know Nothing about you is vague to me Through every season, come rain or snow You're the one truth I can plainly see

  Outro

  The leaves will lift when the sun comes back But I'm still here, right where you are
