Blue Sparks
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
The apple logs are catching slow
Blue sparks lift and start to climb
I watch them go where you don't go
Steady, while I lose all track of time

[Chorus]
Julia, the fire keeps our hour
You make the quiet feel like more
Something in you, calm as water
Julia, I have never been so sure

[Verse 2]
Orange sky behind your shoulder
Smoke goes up and doesn't ask why
I get simpler when I hold you
Nothing fancy, just you and I

[Pre-chorus]
I used to want the loud, bright thing
Now I just want this small light
This one flame, this one ring

[Chorus]
Julia, the fire keeps our hour
You make the quiet feel like more
Something in you, calm as water
Julia, I have never been so sure

[Bridge]
Let the logs burn down to nothing
We don't need the fire to stay
It's you I'm holding, not the burning
You're the warmth that doesn't fade away

[Chorus]
Julia, the fire keeps our hour
You make the quiet feel like more
Something in you, calm as water
Julia, I have never been so sure

[Outro]
The sparks are gone, the sky's gone grey
You're still here, and that's enough to say
