What the Water Leaves
Style: Piano ballad

[Verse 1]
Grey clouds settle on the stone
You never needed to hide at all
nothing about you stands alone
I love what stays when the water falls

[Pre-chorus]
I've seen what waits beneath the calm
the way the water learns to leave
and every time, it's you I find

[Chorus]
Ali, I find you in the grey
You steady me when the tide moves through
Ali, you stay when the clouds won't stray
Everything I feel is true

[Verse 2]
You wear your quiet like the shore
not empty, just laid open wide
I've learned to love what waits for more
the steady kind that doesn't hide

[Bridge]
If the water comes back rough
I already know your shape
that's enough to call it love

[Chorus]
Ali, I find you in the grey
You steady me when the tide moves through
Ali, you stay when the clouds won't stray
Everything I feel is true

[Outro]
Long after the water's gone
I'll still find you in the stones
