Chalk on My Hands
Style: Soul waltz

[Verse 1]
I found chalk dust on the limestone
Left there by nobody's plan
You stood right beside the sheep gate
And I felt the whole hill still

[Chorus]
Ottilie, you steady me
Plain as chalk and stone can be
I never asked for fireworks
Ottilie, that's not you and me

[Verse 2]
You lean on the gate like always
Like you've got the whole day free
There's dust on your hands from the limestone
And somehow that dust means home

[Pre-chorus]
I don't need the sky to open
Don't need bells or grand design
Just this hill and you beside me

[Chorus]
Ottilie, you steady me
Plain as chalk and stone can be
I never asked for fireworks
Ottilie, that's not you and me

[Bridge]
Some loves burn and some just hold
Yours is warm, not wild, not cold
You are the hand I keep on finding

[Chorus]
Ottilie, you steady me
Plain as chalk and stone can be
I never asked for fireworks
Ottilie, that's not you and me

[Outro]
The chalk will wash off in the rain
But you're the one thing that will stay
