Barbara
Style: Synth ballad

[Verse 1]
You left your shoes beside the ring
Not lost, just resting where you’d been
I didn’t need you to speak to know
You’d always come back to begin

[Pre-chorus]
I thought love needed fire and noise
A storm to prove it was alive
But here you are, calm as the tide

[Chorus]
Barbara, you’re my quiet shore
No need to chase, no need to roar
Barbara, I’ve learned to hold the peace
The calm you are, my favourite place

[Verse 2]
You don’t fix what’s been torn apart
You just sit down and let it mend
No grand parade, no shining art
Just you beside me, end to end

[Chorus]
Barbara, you’re my quiet shore
No need to chase, no need to roar
Barbara, I’ve learned to hold the peace
The calm you are, my favourite place

[Bridge]
You never promised to be loud
But you never left me in the grey
And that’s the kind of love I found
When I stopped looking for the way

[Chorus]
Barbara, you’re my quiet shore
No need to chase, no need to roar
Barbara, I’ve learned to hold the peace
The calm you are, my favourite place

[Outro]
Your shoes still there, the ring still near
No rescue needed — just you here
