Blue Ink
Style: Irish air

[Verse 1]
The lamp burns low beside the blotter
Blue ink spreads slow where your hand rests
I watch the stain begin to scatter
And think how well this quiet fits us best

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing grand about this room
Just your hand and mine so near
Something in me starts to bloom

[Chorus]
Edgar, you're the calm I chose
Steady as that lamplit glow
Every little thing you know
Edgar, keeps me close to home

[Verse 2]
Some nights the ink runs past the edges
Onto wood that's held our years
You laugh it off, you make no pledges
But I feel loved when you're right here

[Bridge]
No grand words, no promises spoken
Just this desk, this ink, this light
You are the proof that love's not broken

[Chorus]
Edgar, you're the calm I chose
Steady as that lamplit glow
Every little thing you know
Edgar, keeps me close to home

[Outro]
The blotter still holds your fingerprint
And I still love you, plain as ink
