Steady

This call is just a small thing to you

And I am just a phase you're going through

This shade of blue nearly makes me want to stay, stay, stay

Another girl, another day

It was the weekend we arrived, I think

Late February, early March

And my socks had soaked right through

My only shoes no match for the snow that so thickly coated all the pavements

That everything, even horror, turned to magic

Keep me 'cause I'm steady

Like the salt that's spilt and sold

Keep me 'cause I'm steady

Where the blue gives into gold

Let's call this what it is

The colours are moving

It crossed my mind to watch the light we were losing

This shade of you nearly makes me want to stay, stay, stay

Another girl, another day

Yet in those first weeks, time seemed to have frozen

The city felt familiar though I knew next to nothing about it

We had landed, it seemed, in the landscape of a dream

But yours or mine? Do you reckon?

Keep me 'cause I'm steady

Like the salt that's spilt and sold

Keep me 'cause I'm steady

Where the blue gives into gold

Let's go sit by the canal, you said

Let's watch the ripples widen

Steady

Like the salt that's spilt and sold

Steady

Where the blue gives into gold

Keep me 'cause I'm steady

Like the salt that's spilt and sold

Keep me 'cause I'm steady

Where the blue gives into gold
