Love Songs for Ciara

• Cold Aisle, Warm Hand

  Country waltz · Country · Waltz · Pedal steel

  A quiet love song about the small, ordinary moment of standing in a supermarket freezer aisle and realising how deep the feeling runs. Good for new love, old love, or the steady kind that never announces itself.

  Verse 1

  Standing here with baskets half filled Frost on the glass, and the room stilled You reach past me for the peas Warm hand moving through the freeze

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing about this is grand But I would follow where you stand Right here is where I understand

  Chorus

  Ciara, you make the cold feel kind Every plain place turns into fine Say your name just to hear it land Ciara, I'm glad to hold your hand

  Verse 2

  Trolley wheel sticking on the floor You laugh like we've done this before Some folks want fireworks and flame I just want to say your name

  Bridge

  Doesn't take much to know a good thing No candles, no ring, no rehearsed thing Just you beside me down the aisle Steady as anything, worth my while

  Chorus

  Ciara, you make the cold feel kind Every plain place turns into fine Say your name just to hear it land Ciara, I'm glad to hold your hand

  Outro

  Peas still frosting under the light You're the warm part of my night

• Crusts on the Blanket

  Slow R&B · R&B · Electric piano · Smooth

  A slow, plainspoken love song built from the leftover crusts of a picnic, where staying past the mess becomes proof of devotion. Fits a new love, an old one, or anywhere in between.

  Verse 1

  You leave the crusts for the birds Say the soft part's mine to keep I watch you give it all away And I want no other kind of love

  Pre-chorus

  You don't make a show of caring You just stay when the day runs long And that's the thing that's pulling me in

  Chorus

  Ciara, you keep me sitting still Nowhere I would rather be than here The blanket's red, the light is low Ciara, you're the reason I don't leave

  Verse 2

  You laugh with crumbs still on your hand Don't care how it looks to anyone I've loved people who needed more polish You just needed me to stay

  Pre-chorus

  You don't make a show of caring You just stay when the day runs long And that's the thing that's pulling me in

  Chorus

  Ciara, you keep me sitting still Nowhere I would rather be than here The blanket's red, the light is low Ciara, you're the reason I don't leave

  Bridge

  Let the ants take what they want We've got nowhere else to be Every ordinary hour with you Feels like something I should keep

  Chorus

  Ciara, you keep me sitting still Nowhere I would rather be than here The blanket's red, the light is low Ciara, you're the reason I don't leave

  Outro

  Someone will fold the blanket up I'll still be holding on to you

  Verse 1

  The garden's gone quiet and grey Leaves stuck flat where they fell I didn't plan on loving this way But you make it easy to tell

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing here is asking to be seen No grand show, no bright design Just what stays after the storm has been

  Chorus

  Ciara, you're the one steady thing Through November and everything it brings Ciara, I still reach for your hand Whatever the season, however it's planned

  Verse 2

  Some things cling on past their time Like leaves that won't let go of stone You've stayed through the mud and the grime Never once left me on my own

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing here is asking to be seen No grand show, no bright design Just what stays after the storm has been

  Chorus

  Ciara, you're the one steady thing Through November and everything it brings Ciara, I still reach for your hand Whatever the season, however it's planned

  Bridge

  I'm not the type for flowers or fire Just this small and certain love Quiet as rain, plain as I am

  Chorus

  Ciara, you're the one steady thing Through November and everything it brings Ciara, I still reach for your hand Whatever the season, however it's planned

  Outro

  The leaves will lift when the sun comes round But I'm still yours, still standing your ground
