  Verse 1

  Snow crunched hard beneath my boots Frost had climbed the tractor's roots I stopped there in the field alone Wishing you were coming home

  Chorus

  Julia, you're the warmth I keep Through every mile and every sleep Julia, steady as the ground You're the best thing I have found

  Verse 2

  Cold got into everything Even birds forgot to sing But I thought of your voice, low and clear And it thawed me standing here

  Pre-chorus

  I don't say it near enough How you make the hard days soft So let me say it plain right now

  Chorus

  Julia, you're the warmth I keep Through every mile and every sleep Julia, steady as the ground You're the best thing I have found

  Bridge

  No grand words, no clever lines Just you and me and passing time That's all this love has ever been

  Chorus

  Julia, you're the warmth I keep Through every mile and every sleep Julia, steady as the ground You're the best thing I have found

  Outro

  The snow will melt off that old tyre But you're the one I still admire

  Verse 1

  The apple logs are catching slow Blue sparks lift and start to climb I watch them go where you don't go Steady, while I lose all track of time

  Chorus

  Julia, the fire keeps our hour You make the quiet feel like more Something in you, calm as water Julia, I have never been so sure

  Verse 2

  Orange sky behind your shoulder Smoke goes up and doesn't ask why I get simpler when I hold you Nothing fancy, just you and I

  Pre-chorus

  I used to want the loud, bright thing Now I just want this small light This one flame, this one ring

  Chorus

  Julia, the fire keeps our hour You make the quiet feel like more Something in you, calm as water Julia, I have never been so sure

  Bridge

  Let the logs burn down to nothing We don't need the fire to stay It's you I'm holding, not the burning You're the warmth that doesn't fade away

  Chorus

  Julia, the fire keeps our hour You make the quiet feel like more Something in you, calm as water Julia, I have never been so sure

  Outro

  The sparks are gone, the sky's gone grey You're still here, and that's enough to say

  Blues slow dance · Blues · Guitar · Smoky

  A quiet blues love song built from the image of water sliding down a greenhouse pane, for any kind of love, new, old, or somewhere between.

  Verse 1

  Rain finds the glass above the vines Slow drops chasing crooked lines Tomato leaves lean toward the warmth I keep finding you in small designs

  Chorus

  Julia, you settle like that water does Taking your time, taking all of us I never once had to chase you Julia, I'd wait however long it was

  Verse 2

  Some nights the glass just fogs up whole I still know you're there, I know your shape You don't need to shine to hold me Quiet is a thing I never want to escape

  Pre-chorus

  I've watched a lot of ordinary things Waited on slower, smaller wonders But nothing sits with me like you

  Chorus

  Julia, you settle like that water does Taking your time, taking all of us I never once had to chase you Julia, I'd wait however long it was

  Bridge

  Some loves crash, loud and sure Ours just gathers, steady, real Nothing sudden, nothing rushed Just you, becoming everything I feel

  Chorus

  Julia, you settle like that water does Taking your time, taking all of us I never once had to chase you Julia, I'd wait however long it was

  Outro

  Let the rain keep sliding slow You're the warmth I'm growing toward
