Love Songs for Julie

• Wooden Forks

  Indie folk · Airy · Fingerpicked

  A quiet love song built from one small moment, forks rattling in a paper bag against a brick wall, that says plainly how much someone is loved without needing anything grand.

  Verse 1

  Rain against the brick wall Forks knocking soft against the bag You held it like it mattered I felt something in my chest snag

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing here was ever fancy Just the ordinary things we chose But standing here beside you

  Chorus

  Julie, this is what I meant When I said I'd stay for good Something plain got so much bigger The moment that I understood

  Verse 2

  You laughed and dropped the bag a little Picked it up before it spilled I watched you like you were the whole street Everything around us stilled

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing here was ever fancy Just the ordinary things we chose But standing here beside you

  Chorus

  Julie, this is what I meant When I said I'd stay for good Something plain got so much bigger The moment that I understood

  Bridge

  No one warned me love was quiet No one said it comes in bags of forks I just know I want you near me Through the ordinary parts

  Chorus

  Julie, this is what I meant When I said I'd stay for good Something plain got so much bigger The moment that I understood

  Outro

  Somewhere there's a wall still standing Where I first knew I was yours

• Water on the Handle

  Irish air · Irish · Whistle · Lilting

  A quiet, plain love song for Julie, built from a small garden moment: condensation on tomato leaves, running down onto a worn old trowel.

  Verse 1

  Water beads on the leaves slow, the way patience moves down to the trowel handle rust worn smooth by your gloves

  Pre-chorus

  I don't need the whole sky just this small quiet ground where the ordinary hours turn into something I've found

  Chorus

  Julie, you steady my hands this garden knows your name not for show, not for praise just for staying the same

  Verse 2

  Some mornings the frost holds on some mornings the sun breaks through either way I'm still kneeling either way I choose you

  Chorus

  Julie, you steady my hands this garden knows your name not for show, not for praise just for staying the same

  Bridge

  No need to make it louder no need to dress it new the drip that finds the handle finds its way like I find you

  Chorus

  Julie, you steady my hands this garden knows your name not for show, not for praise just for staying the same

  Outro

  The leaves will dry by morning but you, you're staying too

  Doo wop · Retro · Sweet

  A doo wop love song for anyone named Julie, built from one small walk by a brick wall that turns into a quiet, plain-spoken devotion.

  Verse 1

  One sneaker crunching on the stones Walking slow past old brick walls You laugh at something I forget But I remember how you laughed

  Pre-chorus

  The night is nothing, plain and grey But something in me starts to shift And I know I have to say

  Chorus

  Julie, you were always here Steady as the turning year Some folks fade and some stay true Julie, I keep coming back to you

  Verse 2

  The wall is cold beneath your hand You lean there like you own the street I never planned to love this way But planning never felt so sweet

  Bridge

  No fireworks, no perfect line Just gravel underfoot and time You don't need a grand design To know that someone's always mine

  Chorus

  Julie, you were always here Steady as the turning year Some folks fade and some stay true Julie, I keep coming back to you

  Outro

  Still that gravel by the wall Still your voice above it all
