Catch Like Fire
Style: Gospel soul

[Verse 1]
I laid the dry wood down for you
Stacked it slow inside the stones
Waited for a single spark
Something old woke in my bones

[Pre-chorus]
I've carried matches half my life
Never struck them till you came
Now the circle's holding light

[Chorus]
Horace, you're the flame that stayed
Steady when the wind got fierce
Every branch I lay for you
Catches like it's meant to burn, Horace

[Verse 2]
You don't need the whole forest lit
One warm ring is all we need
Sit here with me on the stone
Watch the sparks rise up and feed

[Chorus]
Horace, you're the flame that stayed
Steady when the wind got fierce
Every branch I lay for you
Catches like it's meant to burn, Horace

[Bridge]
Let the smoke climb high and slow
No need to chase what doesn't stay
This is the kind of fire I know
Small, and built to last the day

[Chorus]
Horace, you're the flame that stayed
Steady when the wind got fierce
Every branch I lay for you
Catches like it's meant to burn, Horace

[Outro]
The stones are warm long after dark
I'm glad I brought you here to spark
