Evaly

[Verse 1]
Leaves have fallen, winter's in the air
Quiet house and an empty chair
Son grown and gone, just me and the dogs
Holidays alone in the cold and the fog
Had my hand on the lock, turning the key
Then you swiped right, and you found me

[Chorus]
They call me Thunder, I'm the storm
You're the Magpie keeping me warm
Bringing beauty, song, and flights of fancy
Golden break of day, my Evaly
You calm this savage beast inside
My most valued one, my sunrise

[Verse 2]
Wasn't easy, I'll admit it's true
Shell so hard and crusty, nothing getting through
Old habits dying slow, cynical and gruff
You stayed soft and kind when I got rough
Learning how you love, learning what to say
We laugh at the same things, we wonder the same way

[Chorus]
They call me Thunder, I'm the storm
You're the Magpie keeping me warm
Bringing beauty, song, and flights of fancy
Golden break of day, my Evaly
You calm this savage beast inside
My most valued one, my sunrise

[Bridge]
I'm a hardened biker, scarred by the road
You ease my pain and lighten my load
Every wound you touch begins to mend
You gave me hope again

[Verse 3]
Change comes slow, but baby, it came
Now winter don't feel like the end of the game
Chasing life and love and happiness too
Every new beginning starts with you
Thank you for your patience, thank you for your grace
I see my tomorrow in your face

[Chorus]
They call me Thunder, I'm the storm
You're the Magpie keeping me warm
Bringing beauty, song, and flights of fancy
Golden break of day, my Evaly
You calm this savage beast inside
My most valued one, my sunrise

[Outro]
The storm rolled out, the sun came through
Evaly, I value you
