The Calm and the Current

Verse

The Hoxton air was still, then the world began to fade

In a dress as black as midnight, that’s where the hand was played

You moved in slow motion, a vision in the door

I’d seen a thousand faces, but I’d never seen the one before

From the streets of New Orleans where the jazz began to rise

To the Michigan water reflecting in your eyes

You’re the city girl driving a truck through the pines

Changing my rhythm, rewriting the lines.

Pre-chorus

And when the world gets loud and the shadows start to creep

You’re the promise I’m waking to, the peace before I sleep

Canım (My soul), the light is wherever you are.

Chorus

I am the energy, the fire and the storm

You are the calm, the quiet and the warm

When I’m drifting out to sea, you’re the anchor in the sand

The gentle strength of a Turkish heart in a Michigan land

Aşkım (My love), we’re the balance of the moon and the sun

Two lives braided till the fraying is done

I am your energy, you are my calm.

Verse

Remember the Na Pali, the red dirt and the heat?

Nine hours on the edge, the world beneath our feet

You’d never climbed a mountain, but you climbed it for me

Past the falls and the canyon, all the way to the sea

Now you’re teaching me to breathe, to manifest the light

To find the hidden goodness in the middle of the fight

With Mia at our side and the future in our hands

Building a castle on the firmest of sands.

Bridge

Sen benim herşeyimsin (You are my everything)

My Honey Jim, my sweetheart, the song that I sing

You taught me that "safety" is the touch of a hand

And "forever" is a choice that two people planned

I see our children’s laughter in the way that you smile

Every mile we’ve walked was worth every mile.

Chorus

I am the energy, the fire and the storm

You are the calm, the quiet and the warm

When I’m drifting out to sea, you’re the anchor in the sand

The gentle strength of a Turkish heart in a Michigan land

Aşkım, we’re the balance of the moon and the sun

Two lives braided till the fraying is done

I am your energy, you are my calm.

Outro

Seni seviyorum (I love you)

My Honey Jim...

From the Hoxton to the Lake

Every breath, for your sake.

My calm.

My Canım.
