Stuck Like the Leaves
Style: Irish air

[Verse 1]
Leaves stuck flat to the wet grass
Nobody asked them to stay so close
The bench has gone grey and chilly
Still I think of you when I pass

[Chorus]
Tilly, you are the calm in my chest
Nothing about you asks to be guessed
You settle in like the quiet does
Tilly, you are the one I love best

[Verse 2]
Autumn keeps trying to clear the ground
Wind comes through and moves everything round
But some things hold on without trying
That is the way you and I are found

[Pre-chorus]
I have watched what the weather can do
Seen things scatter that seemed to be true
But you stay close, the way certain things do

[Chorus]
Tilly, you are the calm in my chest
Nothing about you asks to be guessed
You settle in like the quiet does
Tilly, you are the one I love best

[Bridge]
No grand storm made me choose you
It was smaller and slower than that
Just you, staying, when you could have gone

[Chorus]
Tilly, you are the calm in my chest
Nothing about you asks to be guessed
You settle in like the quiet does
Tilly, you are the one I love best

[Outro]
The leaves are still stuck to the grass
Tilly, that is how I hold to you
