  Verse 1

  Two socks pinned along the line Swing together, side by side Simple thing, but it says enough You're the reason I don't hide

  Pre-chorus

  I don't need the noise or show Just the pull of you nearby Something steady, starting to grow

  Chorus

  Ali, you are steady ground Ali, close as breath to me Wind can turn the whole sky round Still I'd choose you, plain to see

  Verse 2

  Some days the wind blows hard and wild Some days it barely stirs at all Either way you're pinned to me Steady even when I fall

  Bridge

  Not every love needs to shout Some just settle, calm and slow You're the proof that quietly stays Long after the wind lets go

  Chorus

  Ali, you are steady ground Ali, close as breath to me Wind can turn the whole sky round Still I'd choose you, plain to see

  Outro

  Two socks still swinging on the line Still holding on, still yours, still mine

• Every Step Leads to You

  Jazz standard · Jazz · Upright bass · Crooner

  A quiet jazz standard about the steady, unshowy way one person can become home to another, whether the love is brand new or long since settled. Play it for anniversaries, quiet nights in, or any moment you want to say plainly: this is love, and it's Ali.

  Verse 1

  One lamp lights the frozen street I walk it slow on tired feet Somehow it always brings you close You make the coldest nights feel sweet

  Pre-chorus

  My heart keeps circling round your name Nothing about this feels the same I don't know how to hold it in

  Chorus

  Ali, you're the warmth in the cold You steady me when I feel old I never planned on falling deep Ali, you're the best I hold

  Verse 2

  We don't need to fill the air Silence sits like it belongs there I still reach for you in the dark And find you always there to share

  Chorus

  Ali, you're the warmth in the cold You steady me when I feel old I never planned on falling deep Ali, you're the best I hold

  Bridge

  Seasons change, but this stays true Every part of me still chooses you Not because it's easy, only because it's you There's no version of my life without you

  Chorus

  Ali, you're the warmth in the cold You steady me when I feel old I never planned on falling deep Ali, you're the best I hold

  Outro

  One more street, one more autumn leaf Every step still leads to you, Ali

  Verse 1

  Grey clouds settle on the stone You never needed to hide at all nothing about you stands alone I love what stays when the water falls

  Pre-chorus

  I've seen what waits beneath the calm the way the water learns to leave and every time, it's you I find

  Chorus

  Ali, I find you in the grey You steady me when the tide moves through Ali, you stay when the clouds won't stray Everything I feel is true

  Verse 2

  You wear your quiet like the shore not empty, just laid open wide I've learned to love what waits for more the steady kind that doesn't hide

  Bridge

  If the water comes back rough I already know your shape that's enough to call it love

  Chorus

  Ali, I find you in the grey You steady me when the tide moves through Ali, you stay when the clouds won't stray Everything I feel is true

  Outro

  Long after the water's gone I'll still find you in the stones
