Songs for Robyn

Verse 1

Dust is turning in the light Old sleeves stacked and out of sight You blow the cover of a record clean And hum the tune like you've always been

Pre-chorus

Nothing here is new or loud Just a name I say out proud And a feeling building, getting hard to hide

Chorus

Robyn, this is what I know You're the reason I don't rush to go Some hearts wander, some hearts roam Robyn, you turned this into home

Verse 2

You hold a record like it's rare Careful fingers, steady care I watch you more than what you find You've got a hold on this old mind

Chorus

Robyn, this is what I know You're the reason I don't rush to go Some hearts wander, some hearts roam Robyn, you turned this into home

Bridge

No need to shout it from a rooftop high Just this room, just you and I The needle drops, the song plays on Steady as the love we've grown

Chorus

Robyn, this is what I know You're the reason I don't rush to go Some hearts wander, some hearts roam Robyn, you turned this into home

Outro

Dust still turning in the light You're the one I chose tonight

Verse 1

Dashboard light on the windscreen glow Miles of dark up ahead Nothing but road and your quiet breathing And the green light steady instead

Pre-chorus

I keep my eyes on the road But my mind keeps drifting to you Something is building and asking to show

Chorus

Robyn, you steady me like that light Small and warm in the black Robyn, I found what I wasn't looking for And I'm never giving it back

Verse 2

We've driven through worse nights than this Rain that wouldn't let up Your hand finds mine on the gearstick Like it's filling an empty cup

Pre-chorus

I keep my eyes on the road But my mind keeps drifting to you Something is building and asking to show

Chorus

Robyn, you steady me like that light Small and warm in the black Robyn, I found what I wasn't looking for And I'm never giving it back

Bridge

Doesn't matter where this road ends As long as you're next to me Every mile just proves it again You're the one thing I need to see

Chorus

Robyn, you steady me like that light Small and warm in the black Robyn, I found what I wasn't looking for And I'm never giving it back

Outro

Somewhere the road runs out of dark And that green light still glows on

Verse 1

Paper wrappers crinkle low Steam rising off the fryer You're stood close in that dim glow Nothing about you needs admiring louder

Chorus

Robyn, you're the warm I carry Long after the light's gone thin Nothing here was ever showy But Robyn, you're the one I'm in

Verse 2

Salt on your fingers, grease on mine We split the last of the chips You laugh at something in the line And I forget my own name on my lips

Pre-chorus

I've known loud loves before you Ones that burned then had to go This one just stays, and it's true

Chorus

Robyn, you're the warm I carry Long after the light's gone thin Nothing here was ever showy But Robyn, you're the one I'm in

Bridge

No music, no big scene Just queueing in the cold with you This is the realest love I've seen

Chorus

Robyn, you're the warm I carry Long after the light's gone thin Nothing here was ever showy But Robyn, you're the one I'm in

Outro

The wrapper's empty, we walk on Still warm long after it's gone
