Verse 1
Tins stacked up on metal shelves Cold glass doors and no one else You reach in past the frosted air And hand me one, I don't know where
Pre-chorus
The cold comes off the glass in waves My hand finds yours between the aisles And something steady starts to pull
Chorus
John, you make the small things hold Something warm inside the cold Every quiet aisle we've known John, I'd walk it all with John
Verse 2
Peaches syrup thick and gold Nothing here that needs be told You set the basket down and grin I forget what we came in for again
Bridge
No grand light, no perfect scene Just a trolley wheel that squeaks between You laughing low at nothing much That's the whole of it, your hand, your touch
Chorus
John, you make the small things hold Something warm inside the cold Every quiet aisle we've known John, I'd walk it all with John
Outro
The glass still fogs, the tins still wait I'd choose this aisle, this hand, this weight
Two Cups by the Basin
Motown ballad · Motown · Strings · ClassicA quiet Motown style love song for John, built from the small ordinary sign of two toothbrushes sharing a mug, that says the plain truth better than grand words could.

Verse 1
Water drying on the rim I notice things I didn't used to You left the light on for me again And it means more than any hymn
Pre-chorus
Small things pile up into a life Nothing about this needs to be loud I'm leaning in to say
Chorus
John, you're the calm I didn't plan on Steady as a porch light left on Two brushes standing in a blue mug John, you're the one I keep coming back upon
Verse 2
You hum a little washing your hands I know that sound better than my own Some folks need fireworks to feel it I just need you and this worn stone
Pre-chorus
Small things pile up into a life Nothing about this needs to be loud I'm leaning in to say
Chorus
John, you're the calm I didn't plan on Steady as a porch light left on Two brushes standing in a blue mug John, you're the one I keep coming back upon
Bridge
Let the years be quiet if they want I'll take quiet if it's you No con, no chase, no grand withdrawn Just this, and it's enough all through
Chorus
John, you're the calm I didn't plan on Steady as a porch light left on Two brushes standing in a blue mug John, you're the one I keep coming back upon
Outro
The water dries but we stay John, I'm glad you're mine to hold onto
Green Railings
Folk duet · Folk · Harmony · Two voicesA quiet folk duet for John, built from a ferry crossing where the small steady facts of being close matter more than the view.

Verse 1
The engine hums beneath our feet Salt spray frosts the thick glass pane Railings shake to a green blown beat You reach for my hand again
Pre-chorus
I don't need the coast to hold still I don't need the fog to lift I just need you here until
Chorus
John, you're steadier than the sea Nothing shifting pulls you gone Whatever tide comes for me I'll find you standing calm, John
Verse 2
We lean on the rail and watch the wake Cold air catching at your sleeve You laugh at how the deck can shake And that's the sound I'd choose to keep
Chorus
John, you're steadier than the sea Nothing shifting pulls you gone Whatever tide comes for me I'll find you standing calm, John
Bridge
Some loves need the weather kind Ours just needs the crossing on I'm not lost when you're beside me Every harbour feels like home
Chorus
John, you're steadier than the sea Nothing shifting pulls you gone Whatever tide comes for me I'll find you standing calm, John
Outro
The railings still hum soft and low Wherever we go, I'll go
