Steep Green Slope
Style: Motown ballad

[Verse 1]
Dry grass bends beneath my boots
the slope keeps climbing, so do you
the hill won't level, not once, not soon
but I'd walk this ground for good

[Pre-chorus]
My legs are tired, my breath runs thin
but I keep going, keep pushing in
because the top is wherever you are

[Chorus]
Julian, you're the reason I climb
every hard mile, you're worth the time
Julian, steady, brilliant, true
there's no summit I want but you

[Verse 2]
The grass lies flat where we have been
every hillside holds what we've seen
you never once told me to turn round
you just kept walking, kept me found

[Chorus]
Julian, you're the reason I climb
every hard mile, you're worth the time
Julian, steady, brilliant, true
there's no summit I want but you

[Bridge]
Let the ground rise, let the wind turn cold
I'm not letting go of your hand's hold
whatever slope, whatever weather
we were always meant to climb together

[Chorus]
Julian, you're the reason I climb
every hard mile, you're worth the time
Julian, steady, brilliant, true
there's no summit I want but you

[Outro]
The grass will rise again come spring
but I'm still yours on any climbing
