  Verse 1

  Sand still holds the shape we made Two lines walking, none alone Every step you took, I stayed Something steady in the unknown

  Pre-chorus

  Tide keeps coming, wants to erase But I would follow through the waves There's no version of this place

  Chorus

  Dave, you're the one I chose to save Nothing careless in the way I feel Not some picture that I crave You are steady, you are real

  Verse 2

  Wind could take the prints tonight I don't need them to stay true What I need is you beside Walking on when skies turn grey too

  Bridge

  Water's cold but I don't turn back Your hand is warm, that's enough I'm not scared of what we lack

  Chorus

  Dave, you're the one I chose to save Nothing careless in the way I feel Not some picture that I crave You are steady, you are real

  Outro

  Waves will come and take the sand But I still know where your prints stand

  Verse 1

  Water finds the gap above us You laugh like it's nothing Our shoes are soaked through already I wouldn't leave this spot for shelter

  Chorus

  Dave, you keep me standing here Even when the rain won't clear Something in you makes me stay Dave, you're the reason I don't fear

  Verse 2

  You shift your weight to block the wind Give me the driest half you've got I watch you do it without asking It's a small thing, but it isn't small

  Pre-chorus

  I could name a hundred safer places But none of them have your two hands And none of them are pulling me in

  Chorus

  Dave, you keep me standing here Even when the rain won't clear Something in you makes me stay Dave, you're the reason I don't fear

  Bridge

  Let the water find us out We'll be soaked but we'll be brave There's no roof I need but you No shelter better than this cave

  Chorus

  Dave, you keep me standing here Even when the rain won't clear Something in you makes me stay Dave, you're the reason I don't fear

  Outro

  Our shoes will dry by morning But this feeling's here to stay

• Frost Line

  Chamber folk · Chamber · Cello · Delicate

  A quiet love song for Dave, built from the picture of frost cracking underfoot into long straight lines across a meadow: a plain, steady kind of devotion that leaves its own mark.

  Verse 1

  I walk out early, half asleep the frost still holds the field it keeps but I am thinking of your face the way you steady every place

  Pre-chorus

  I never planned to need this much one voice, one name, one certain touch and now I'm walking straight to you

  Chorus

  Dave, you're the ground I keep coming back to Dave, every path I walk leads to you you make the cold mean something warm you are the calm inside the storm

  Verse 2

  The lines I leave are straight and true because I'm only walking to you no wandering, no second guess just one direction: yours, no less

  Pre-chorus

  I never planned to need this much one voice, one name, one certain touch and now I'm walking straight to you

  Chorus

  Dave, you're the ground I keep coming back to Dave, every path I walk leads to you you make the cold mean something warm you are the calm inside the storm

  Bridge

  Let the whole field turn to white I'll still find you before first light some things don't fade, they just hold on that's you and me, still here at dawn

  Chorus

  Dave, you're the ground I keep coming back to Dave, every path I walk leads to you you make the cold mean something warm you are the calm inside the storm

  Outro

  The frost will melt, the lines will fade but I'll still walk the path I made
