Dust and Light
Style: Country waltz

[Verse 1]
Sun comes in along the shelf
Catching dust above the spines
I never meant to watch so long
But you were somewhere in those lines

[Pre-chorus]
I used to think love had to shout
Had to burn to be believed
But something quiet's holding me now

[Chorus]
Amaya, you're the calm I chose
Not the fire, just the glow
Steady as that light that shows
Amaya, soft and slow

[Verse 2]
You leave your paperbacks half read
Pages folded where you stopped
I like the way you mark your place
Like nothing in your life gets dropped

[Bridge]
No grand thing I can point to here
Just years of small and true
Every quiet evening proves
How much I'm sure of you

[Chorus]
Amaya, you're the calm I chose
Not the fire, just the glow
Steady as that light that shows
Amaya, soft and slow

[Outro]
Dust still falls between the spines
I'll take this quiet over gold
