Water on the Handle
Style: Irish air

[Verse 1]
Water beads on the leaves
slow, the way patience moves
down to the trowel handle
rust worn smooth by your gloves

[Pre-chorus]
I don't need the whole sky
just this small quiet ground
where the ordinary hours
turn into something I've found

[Chorus]
Julie, you steady my hands
this garden knows your name
not for show, not for praise
just for staying the same

[Verse 2]
Some mornings the frost holds on
some mornings the sun breaks through
either way I'm still kneeling
either way I choose you

[Chorus]
Julie, you steady my hands
this garden knows your name
not for show, not for praise
just for staying the same

[Bridge]
No need to make it louder
no need to dress it new
the drip that finds the handle
finds its way like I find you

[Chorus]
Julie, you steady my hands
this garden knows your name
not for show, not for praise
just for staying the same

[Outro]
The leaves will dry by morning
but you, you're staying too
