Love Songs for Craig

  A slow blues love song built from one small still moment, two pairs of shoes on a ferry deck, that says something plain and true about steady love. Fits new love, old love, or anything in between.

  Verse 1

  Our shoes are lined up close water on the deck like gloss boat rocking slow beneath our feet you lean in, world goes quiet and sweet

  Pre-chorus

  No one else is out here now just the spray and the low bow and I'm learning what I'm learning

  Chorus

  Craig, you're the calm I didn't plan hand finds mine like it always can some folks chase it, some folks wait Craig, I found you, call it fate

  Verse 2

  Salt gets into everything even the songs we didn't sing your collar's up against the wind I want this to never end

  Bridge

  Maybe love's this simple thing two shoes standing, no need to sing just the water, just this deck just your shoulder, just your neck

  Chorus

  Craig, you're the calm I didn't plan hand finds mine like it always can some folks chase it, some folks wait Craig, I found you, call it fate

  Outro

  Our shoes still line up close long after the water's gone still

  A quiet love song for Craig, built from the small warmth of two sleeves touching under one umbrella. For new love, old love, or any love that doesn't need to shout.

  Verse 1

  Rain comes down and finds us out We duck beneath one narrow roof Your shoulder fits against my doubt Close as this is close enough proof

  Pre-chorus

  The nylon ribs are creaking loud Your sleeve keeps brushing mine I feel it more than any crowd

  Chorus

  Craig, I never needed shelter Just a reason to stand still You make the weather feel like nothing Craig, you're steadier than the chill

  Verse 2

  We could have run for cover twice But neither one of us would move I'd rather freeze here at your side Than warm up somewhere I don't love

  Pre-chorus

  The nylon ribs are creaking loud Your sleeve keeps brushing mine I feel it more than any crowd

  Chorus

  Craig, I never needed shelter Just a reason to stand still You make the weather feel like nothing Craig, you're steadier than the chill

  Bridge

  Storms have come and gone since then I still reach for your arm Some things don't need saying again You were always my calm

  Chorus

  Craig, I never needed shelter Just a reason to stand still You make the weather feel like nothing Craig, you're steadier than the chill

  Outro

  Let the rain keep on however long Your sleeve is where I still belong

• Craig, Stay Here

  Indie folk · Airy · Fingerpicked

  A quiet love song built from one small act of waiting in the rain, for anybody who has stood by someone through the ordinary weather of life. Sincere, plain spoken, for love new, old, or somewhere in between.

  Verse 1

  Rain came down on the metal bench Streetlights caught it, nothing fancy I stood there and I didn't mind You were the reason I could stay drenched

  Pre-chorus

  No shelter, and I didn't care I've waited longer for far less So here's the thing I need to say

  Chorus

  Craig, you make the waiting easy No one else has ever pleased me Simple as a bench in rain You're the one who's never hazy

  Verse 2

  Some nights the bus was always late We talked till the cold felt distant You laughed and the whole street changed Nothing about you ever felt like weight

  Pre-chorus

  No shelter, and I didn't care I've waited longer for far less So here's the thing I need to say

  Chorus

  Craig, you make the waiting easy No one else has ever pleased me Simple as a bench in rain You're the one who's never hazy

  Bridge

  I don't need the sun to prove it Steady is the rarer thing You stayed plain when I was breaking That's the whole of everything

  Chorus

  Craig, you make the waiting easy No one else has ever pleased me Simple as a bench in rain You're the one who's never hazy

  Outro

  Let it rain on that old bench I'd still choose you, standing drenched
