Steady Hands, Quiet Dawn

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some people walk through life so still With steady hands upon the wheel You never need to say a word Your quiet strength is always heard You show up always with grace A calm that time cannot erase [Chorus] Here's to the one who holds the line Who steadies me when I start to climb Too fast, too far, too high, too soon You pull me back beneath the moon And in your calm I find my peace Your quiet strength never seems to cease [Verse 2] I found you where the wine was poured You were there to learn and more Researching a dream you'd build With those same hands so strong so skilled You never wait for me to ask Marv you're already at the task A sober thought beside my fire You tame my impulse lift me higher [Chorus] Here's to the one who holds the line Who steadies me when I start to climb Too fast, too far, too high, too soon You pull me back beneath the moon And in your calm I found my peace A strength that never seems to cease [Bridge] Out east and only ten years old You raised the goats alone and bold With calloused palms love's what you do And Marv you've always proven true [Verse 3] Come October heading north To hunt with one tall son of four A survivalist you teach them all Your love's labour always on call If worth doing do it well That's the only truth you'll tell A private man who knows his time Proud of every hill you've climbed [Chorus] Here's to Marv who holds the line Who steadies me when I start to climb Too fast, too far, too high, too soon You pull me back beneath the moon And in your calm I find my peace Your quiet strength that will not cease [Outro] Seven years and counting on My witness my partner my quiet dawn Rest now Marv just lay it down You've built enough to hold this ground
