  Verse 1

  Rust above and gold below Every board flickers slow I stand still while strangers pour You're the one that I wait for

  Pre-chorus

  Every name clicks by unclaimed Every minute feels the same Then I hear your steps, and

  Chorus

  Amelie, you come in from the grey Amelie, the whole hall turns to day Not famously, not for a crowd to see Just quietly, you matter most to me

  Verse 2

  Trains keep leaving, trains arrive No one else keeps love alive Like you do, plain and true I would know your walk anywhere too

  Pre-chorus

  Every name clicks by unclaimed Every minute feels the same Then I hear your steps, and

  Chorus

  Amelie, you come in from the grey Amelie, the whole hall turns to day Not famously, not for a crowd to see Just quietly, you matter most to me

  Bridge

  I've loved you loudly, I've loved you tamely Loved you steady, loved you gamely No grand sign above the door Just you, walking towards me once more

  Chorus

  Amelie, you come in from the grey Amelie, the whole hall turns to day Not famously, not for a crowd to see Just quietly, you matter most to me

  Outro

  The boards still turn, the names still change You're the one thing that stays the same

• Frosted Glass

  Blues slow dance · Blues · Guitar · Smoky

  A slow blues love song built from the small proof of somebody staying: a smudge on the bathroom mirror, two brushes in one cup. For any love that has settled in and made itself at home.

  Verse 1

  Toothpaste on the frosted glass Two brushes leaning in one cup Nothing here was built to last But you keep showing up

  Pre-chorus

  I never asked for permanent I just noticed you were near Now I can't picture living meant

  Chorus

  Amelie, you steady me There's no one loves me half so well Every mess feels like it's free Amelie, I had to tell

  Verse 2

  You leave your mark on everything The mirror, and the man I am I used to flinch at lingering Now I don't give a damn

  Bridge

  Some nights I just watch you sleep And think how far we've come Nothing about this love runs cheap But you make it look like fun

  Chorus

  Amelie, you steady me There's no one loves me half so well Every mess feels like it's free Amelie, I had to tell

  Outro

  Two brushes still lean in that cup I'm glad you never cleaned it up

• Damp Grass and Sunlight

  Irish air · Irish · Whistle · Lilting

  A quiet love song for any kind of devotion, built around a picnic left half finished on the grass, for when the ordinary moments say more than the big ones.

  Verse 1

  Baskets left open on the lawn Plates going soft in the dew Nobody's rushing to clear this up I'd stay here a while with you

  Pre-chorus

  You laugh at something small and gone The light is nearly leaving now But I'm not ready to let it go

  Chorus

  Amelie, the grass is cold But your hand is warm in mine Nothing about this needs to be fixed You make the waiting feel fine

  Verse 2

  Wine gone warm in the bottle Bread we never got to Some days the loving is just this quiet Some days it's only you

  Pre-chorus

  You laugh at something small and gone The light is nearly leaving now But I'm not ready to let it go

  Chorus

  Amelie, the grass is cold But your hand is warm in mine Nothing about this needs to be fixed You make the waiting feel fine

  Bridge

  No music, no plan, no reason Just you, staying, in the falling light

  Chorus

  Amelie, the grass is cold But your hand is warm in mine Nothing about this needs to be fixed You make the waiting feel fine

  Outro

  The baskets are still sitting there But I'm only looking at you
