Sparks Past Your Sleeve
Style: Chamber folk

[Verse 1]
Sparks lift off the fire tonight
Past your sleeve into the trees
I watch them climb and disappear
But you stay here with me

[Pre-chorus]
Something in the way you're stood
Something steady, something warm
Makes me want to say it now

[Chorus]
Ernest, I mean every word
Nothing here has ever burnt
This is not a passing spark
Ernest, this is something learnt

[Verse 2]
Woods go darker past the light
Further than the sparks can reach
But I am not looking there
I'm only looking at you

[Bridge]
Some loves flare and fall as ash
Some take years before they're sure
Whatever kind this turns out to be
With you, I am not concerned

[Chorus]
Ernest, I mean every word
Nothing here has ever burnt
This is not a passing spark
Ernest, this is something learnt

[Outro]
Let the fire burn down slow
I'm still here past your sleeve
