  Verse 1

  Frost is climbing up the fence Three apples roll across the lawn I watch them settle in the grass And think of you before the dawn

  Pre-chorus

  There's nothing here that needs to shout No grand thing left to prove Just quiet turning me about

  Chorus

  Elis, you're the calm I trust Not the fire, but the glow Solace found in you and us Steadier than I could know

  Verse 2

  One apple sits still in the cold Another rolls beneath the tree I keep them close the way I hold Every plain thing you give me

  Bridge

  No palace built, no chalice raised Just this ground and this same light You're the constant I have praised In the ordinary and the quiet

  Chorus

  Elis, you're the calm I trust Not the fire, but the glow Solace found in you and us Steadier than I could know

  Outro

  The apples still rest in the grass And I still choose you, plain as that

  Verse 1

  Dust settles slow on the wooden shelf I keep this place just for myself One pot stands drying in the light You cross my mind from morning to night

  Chorus

  Elis, you're the warmth I choose There's no version of me I'd rather use No trace of malice, no need for a palace Elis, you're my quiet solace

  Verse 2

  The glass holds heat the whole day through Nothing in here grows without you Clay goes hard but it holds its shape You're the one thing I never escape

  Pre-chorus

  I don't need more than what I've got Just this stillness, just this spot Something in me is about to say

  Chorus

  Elis, you're the warmth I choose There's no version of me I'd rather use No trace of malice, no need for a palace Elis, you're my quiet solace

  Bridge

  Some loves burn and some just stay Steady as the end of day You never asked to be the whole thing But somehow that's the gift you bring

  Chorus

  Elis, you're the warmth I choose There's no version of me I'd rather use No trace of malice, no need for a palace Elis, you're my quiet solace

  Outro

  The pot still dries on the wooden shelf I'd choose you again, every time, myself

• Under the Yellow

  Soul waltz · Soul · Organ · Swaying

  A quiet, sincere love song about sheltering close together under one umbrella, and how that small closeness says everything. Good for new love, old love, or anything in between.

  Verse 1

  Rain finds the gaps and slides on through the yellow nylon glows from you step closer, don't mind the wind you're the warmth I'm holding on to

  Pre-chorus

  One umbrella, barely wide enough but you never once complain I'm running out of ways to say it

  Chorus

  Elis, you're the shelter that I chose the rain runs down but never shows how close I want to stay tonight Elis, this is how the feeling grows

  Verse 2

  Your shoulder's damp against my sleeve we're laughing at the mess we've made the storm can do whatever it wants I'm not the one who's afraid

  Bridge

  Every drop that beads and falls says something plainer than my words I'd rather stand here soaked with you than dry and standing on my own

  Chorus

  Elis, you're the shelter that I chose the rain runs down but never shows how close I want to stay tonight Elis, this is how the feeling grows

  Outro

  Long after the rain has gone and dried I'll still be holding you this close
