  Verse 1

  Rain caught us both by surprise We ducked into the porch light Folding the umbrella twice Your sleeve against mine, damp and tight

  Chorus

  Cadi, you steady my hand Nothing about this feels shady Two coats and a small piece of land Is enough of a world, Cadi

  Verse 2

  I never needed the weather To find a reason to stay Your laugh made the porch feel steadier Than any dry, ordinary day

  Pre-chorus

  I could name a hundred small things Small proof that you're always there But it all comes back round to

  Chorus

  Cadi, you steady my hand Nothing about this feels shady Two coats and a small piece of land Is enough of a world, Cadi

  Bridge

  Maybe it's nothing grand Just wet sleeves and a shared roof But I've held on to less, and understood

  Chorus

  Cadi, you steady my hand Nothing about this feels shady Two coats and a small piece of land Is enough of a world, Cadi

  Outro

  Let the rain keep the porch light company I'll keep folding this umbrella, so long as it's with you

• Blue Light, Steady

  Soul waltz · Soul · Organ · Swaying

  A quiet love song for two empty chairs and a hum of blue light, for anyone whose love has never needed a stage to feel enormous.

  Verse 1

  Nothing here but hum and glow Two chairs waiting, cheap and slow Midnight snack run, nowhere grand Still I'd pick this, don't you know

  Chorus

  Cadi, you make plain rooms glad Nothing fancy, nothing sad Just this light and just this hour Cadi, maybe that's the power

  Verse 2

  Coins drop down and something falls Small machine lights up the walls You laugh soft at nothing much I could live inside these hours

  Pre-chorus

  I've had louder, brighter nights Ones with music, ones with sights None of them held on like this

  Chorus

  Cadi, you make plain rooms glad Nothing fancy, nothing sad Just this light and just this hour Cadi, maybe that's the power

  Bridge

  We could be anywhere at all Some quiet booth, some empty hall It's never been about the place It's always just been you I call

  Chorus

  Cadi, you make plain rooms glad Nothing fancy, nothing sad Just this light and just this hour Cadi, maybe that's the power

  Outro

  Chairs still empty, light still blue I'd sit right here for love of you

  A quiet, plainspoken love song for Cadi, built from one small garden moment. Good for a steady, unshowy love, new or old.

  Verse 1

  One drop holds on to the leaf longer than you'd believe then it lets go, and it lands soft on the hose in your hands

  Pre-chorus

  I used to think love had to rush had to shout, had to push but I've learned to just wait, and see

  Chorus

  Cadi, you steady my whole day slow as that drop finding its way nothing sudden, nothing loud just you, plain and unbowed, Cadi

  Verse 2

  I stand there longer than I should watching water find the wood I'm not thinking of the leaf at all I'm thinking how you never stall

  Bridge

  Some loves burn and some loves flood mine just moves slow through my blood patient as that garden hose

  Chorus

  Cadi, you steady my whole day slow as that drop finding its way nothing sudden, nothing loud just you, plain and unbowed, Cadi

  Outro

  The leaf will hold another drop tomorrow and I'll still be here, plain and steady
