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

Verse 1

Flour on the counter, candles burning low Robyn, you are why the kitchen glows Midnight and we're baking through the cold Stories and the laughter never getting old

Pre-chorus

The tree is lit, the hearth is burning bright Robyn, stay right here with us tonight

Chorus

Robyn, Robyn, Christmas means you're near Everything we love about the year Unwrapped and honest in the candlelight Robyn, you're the gift that feels just right

Verse 2

Frost is on the garden, stars are sharp and clear Robyn, every season's better when you're here Round the quiet table, all our voices blend Grateful for the heart that calls us friend

Chorus

Robyn, Robyn, Christmas means you're near Everything we love about the year Unwrapped and honest in the candlelight Robyn, you're the gift that feels just right

Bridge

When the winter wind comes calling Robyn, you are home

Chorus

Robyn, Robyn, Christmas means you're near Everything we love about the year Unwrapped and honest in the candlelight Robyn, you're the gift that feels just right

Outro

Candles burning down but never cold Robyn, you're the story we retold

Verse 1

Coats pile heavy on the wooden floor Scarves unwind from every weathered peg Frost still melts across your shoulders bright You've come home through the winter's roar

Pre-chorus

The kettle starts to sing Voices rise to meet the light And we've been waiting for

Chorus

Robyn's here, the room grows warm Robyn's here to weather any storm Fire catches what the cold forgets Robyn's here, and we're complete

Verse 2

Laughter shakes the frost right from your hair Someone passes cider round the fire Every chair finds someone's voice tonight You belong exactly where you are

Pre-chorus

Candlelight won't reach as far Without your hand to hold it true This is what we've gathered for

Chorus

Robyn's here, the room grows warm Robyn's here to weather any storm Fire catches what the cold forgets Robyn's here, and we're complete

Every season turns to bring you back Gold and silver shine on what you mend

Robyn's here, the room grows warm Robyn's here to weather any storm Fire catches what the cold forgets Robyn's here, and we're complete

Scarves hang tangled where you stand Home is here because you are

Verse 1

Robyn, you melt the frost away Each step you take leaves traces dark Where ice holds firm throughout the day Your warmth cuts through the winter stark

The fire's bright, the table's set All of us are waiting here Come sit with us

Carols sound sweeter when you're near The frost on windows catches glow Your laughter rings out crystal clear And melts the shadows in the snow

Though winter holds us in its cold Your presence turns the year to gold

Each footstep marks a blessed way Robyn, you light the darkest day
