  Verse 1

  I hung your shirt out this morning Watched the sun catch every seam Something in the way it's dripping Makes the whole day feel like a dream

  Pre-chorus

  You don't ask for much from me Just a little light, a little time But I've got so much more to give

  Chorus

  Arthur, you're the calm in my weather Steady as the turning tide Nobody holds a room like you do Arthur, I'm always on your side

  Verse 2

  You left your coffee cup out cooling Went to fix a thing that broke Half the things you do go unnoticed But I notice every stroke

  Bridge

  I'm not one for saying much But I'm saying it now, plain and true There's no version of my morning That looks right without you

  Chorus

  Arthur, you're the calm in my weather Steady as the turning tide Nobody holds a room like you do Arthur, I'm always on your side

  Outro

  That shirt's still hanging on the line Dry now, and so am I

• Shoes By The Railing

  Acoustic soul · Acoustic · Soul · Warm

  A steady acoustic soul song for someone you trust completely, built from the small proof of shoes left by a ferry railing while its owner wanders off unafraid.

  Verse 1

  You left your shoes beside the railing Walked the deck barefoot, easy and free Something about that always stayed with me No fear in you, never failing

  Pre-chorus

  You trust the ground to hold you steady Trust the water, trust the wide unknown And slowly I trust it too

  Chorus

  Arthur, you make the leaving simple Turn every distance into something small Steady as a hand against a wall Arthur, you make the ferry deck feel warmer

  Verse 2

  I used to flinch at open water Watched the waves like they might take you far But you just stood beneath the evening star Certain as a favourite daughter

  Bridge

  Maybe love is just this, standing near Watching someone walk off unafraid Knowing they'll come back to where you are

  Chorus

  Arthur, you make the leaving simple Turn every distance into something small Steady as a hand against a wall Arthur, you make the ferry deck feel warmer

  Outro

  Your shoes still sit beside that railing Waiting, the way I wait for you

  Jazz standard · Jazz · Upright bass · Crooner

  Verse 1

  I set the receiver down soft not ready to let the night end you're somewhere still on the other side and I'm not hanging up, my friend

  Chorus

  Arthur, you steady me like nothing else can hold me the way that the quiet air does Arthur, I'd know your voice in any room because it always was, and always was

  Verse 2

  The table holds the phone like a secret something warm still humming through the wire you laugh and it travels clean across the dark lighting up a small and steady fire

  Pre-chorus

  I could talk till the morning finds us let the silence hold what words can't carry every pause is just you, still there

  Chorus

  Arthur, you steady me like nothing else can hold me the way that the quiet air does Arthur, I'd know your voice in any room because it always was, and always was

  Bridge

  No need to fill the space between us some nights the quiet says it clearer you're still the voice I choose to answer and every year somehow feels nearer

  Chorus

  Arthur, you steady me like nothing else can hold me the way that the quiet air does Arthur, I'd know your voice in any room because it always was, and always was

  Outro

  The phone still rests there in the dark but Arthur, you're the light I keep
