Blue on Glass
Style: Irish air

[Verse 1]
You left your toothbrush by the razor
stayed the night and never asked
small blue thing against the silver
I don't want you gone by morning

[Pre-chorus]
I never thought a shelf could hold this
two small things leaned close like that
now my whole house waits for you

[Chorus]
Alyssa, you've gone and settled in me
not loud, not sudden, just like breathing
some folks arrive with bells and speeches
you just stayed, and I'd miss her

[Verse 2]
You laugh at how I fold the towels
say I fuss too much with order
then you leave your cup right where it lands
and somehow that's the part I love

[Pre-chorus]
I never thought a shelf could hold this
two small things leaned close like that
now my whole house waits for you

[Chorus]
Alyssa, you've gone and settled in me
not loud, not sudden, just like breathing
some folks arrive with bells and speeches
you just stayed, and I'd miss her

[Bridge]
I know this isn't much to sing about
a blue brush and a bit of glass
but I keep looking at it, thinking
you chose to leave a piece of you here

[Chorus]
Alyssa, you've gone and settled in me
not loud, not sudden, just like breathing
some folks arrive with bells and speeches
you just stayed, and I'd miss her

[Outro]
Someday that shelf will just be a shelf
but tonight it's you, still standing near
