Songs for Lindsay

Verse 1

Windows fogged up on the back row City lights all smeared and gold You made the whole bus feel like home Best story that this route has told

Pre-chorus

Every year you light the same old spark Every year you turn the ordinary bright So let the candles catch before it's dark Because tonight belongs to

Chorus

Lindsay, this whole room is yours tonight We're singing loud so you can hear Nobody shines quite like you, Lindsay Glad you made it another year

Verse 2

You cracked a joke, the whole bus turned Strangers smiling, caught off guard You've got a way of warming rooms Even when the night runs hard

Bridge

Every mile we've travelled since Feels a little brighter with you here Here's to every road we're taking Glad it's you that I'm with, dear

Chorus

Lindsay, this whole room is yours tonight We're singing loud so you can hear Nobody shines quite like you, Lindsay Glad you made it another year

Outro

Windows clearing, morning coming through Still that glow, still only you

Verse 1

Cups are rattling in the door we keep speeding, want some more every mile feels like a spark you light candles in the dark

Windows down and hearts are racing hear the horns already blaring something bright is coming round the bend

Chorus

Lindsay, turn the whole road windsy let it howl and blow so linseed cups are dancing, cheers are ringing this whole town is Lindsay singing

Verse 2

Streetlights blur to gold and rose every corner someone knows you're the reason engines rev nobody here could love you less

Lindsay, turn the whole road windsy let it howl and blow so linseed cups are dancing, cheers are ringing this whole town is Lindsay singing

Bridge

Hold the wheel and hold this minute every year you're deeper in it no map could ever hold this feeling

Lindsay, turn the whole road windsy let it howl and blow so linseed cups are dancing, cheers are ringing this whole town is Lindsay singing

Outro

Cups still rattle in the door we're not slowing, want much more

Verse 1

Dust is blowing cross the gravel Rising off the water tank You'd stand there like you owned the skyline Nothing ever made you rattle

Pre-chorus

Every year the wind comes round Kicking up the same old ground But you still shine through all the grey

Chorus

Lindsay, you're the light we're chasing Every candle worth the wasting Whole room's here and no one's leaving Lindsay, you're the day worth facing

Verse 2

You climbed up to watch the sunset Called us all to come and see Said the world looks kinder from here And it did, with you next to me

Bridge

However far the dust gets blown We always find our way back home Right where you are, that's the spot Where every year feels worth the lot

Chorus

Lindsay, you're the light we're chasing Every candle worth the wasting Whole room's here and no one's leaving Lindsay, you're the day worth facing

Dust will settle on that rooftop We'll still be here loving you

Steam is climbing up the pane Nothing here is in a rush I keep looking back at you

Chorus

Lindsay, you're the reason I stay Nothing else feels half as true Every quiet hour with you Lindsay, I keep choosing you

Verse 2

Drops collect and start to slide Slow, like they've got all the time Nothing here is in a hurry You move through my life just fine

Bridge

Some loves burn out in a day Some just settle in and stay I'm not asking for the fire Just the warmth that doesn't fade

The glass still holds the heat we made Lindsay, that's the love I keep

Verse 1

Two coats hang on one brass hook Yours always tangled up in mine Nobody taught us this, Lindsay We just fell into the habit

Pre-chorus

I hear your key in the door Feel the whole day settle down Something in me starts to open

Chorus

Lindsay, you're the one I choose Every single time I choose Not the loud kind, just the true kind Lindsay, there's no one I'd lose you for

Verse 2

Snow keeps falling past the window Your coat's damp against my shoulder Nothing here is asking for more, Lindsay We're warm enough just standing here

Pre-chorus

I hear your key in the door Feel the whole day settle down Something in me starts to open

Lindsay, you're the one I choose Every single time I choose Not the loud kind, just the true kind Lindsay, there's no one I'd lose you for

Bridge

Some loves need the world to watch Ours just needs this narrow hall Your coat sleeve brushing mine Quiet as a held breath

Chorus

Lindsay, you're the one I choose Every single time I choose Not the loud kind, just the true kind Lindsay, there's no one I'd lose you for

Outro

Two coats still hang on one hook Still tangled up, still ours

Verse 1

Rain streaks sideways on the glass Streetlights blur as we drive past You're half turned, watching the town I could sit here, never come down

Nothing's said, nothing needs to be There's a hum between you and me Something building I can't quite name

Chorus

Lindsay, this is what I mean Quiet nights and headlight sheen You're the calm I didn't plan Lindsay, holding my hand

Verse 2

Wipers keep a steady beat Your hand rests warm on the seat Town lights swim across your face I don't want to leave this place

Lindsay, this is what I mean Quiet nights and headlight sheen You're the calm I didn't plan Lindsay, holding my hand

Bridge

Every light we pass says stay Every mile just proves your worth I've loved you plain, not in a play You make the ordinary feel like earth

Chorus

Lindsay, this is what I mean Quiet nights and headlight sheen You're the calm I didn't plan Lindsay, holding my hand

Outro

Rain still streaks across the glass You're still here, and the moment lasts

Verse 1

Brass swings soft behind the wooden slats tonight Counting down the hours till the morning light Nothing in this house is asking you to hurry Rest inside the hush and let it hold you tight

Pre-chorus

Every tick is small and slow and kind Nothing in the dark is left to find So let your breathing follow into sleep

Chorus

Lindsay, the night is wrapped around you soft and low Sleep is a river and you're letting it just flow Lindsay, kinsey, windsy, none of it matters now Close your eyes, my dear one, let the whole world go

Verse 2

Somewhere a pendulum keeps its patient, easy pace Nothing will rush you from this warm and quiet place You are the reason the whole room feels this gentle Sink a little deeper into linseed and lace

Chorus

Lindsay, the night is wrapped around you soft and low Sleep is a river and you're letting it just flow Lindsay, kinsey, windsy, none of it matters now Close your eyes, my dear one, let the whole world go

Bridge

Every swing says stay, says rest, says you are safe Nothing out there tonight can reach this space Hold onto nothing but the sound of slow and steady

Chorus

Lindsay, the night is wrapped around you soft and low Sleep is a river and you're letting it just flow Lindsay, kinsey, windsy, none of it matters now Close your eyes, my dear one, let the whole world go

Outro

Somewhere the brass still swings behind the wooden slats You are already drifting, soft and safe and calm

Verse 1

Quiet falls soft over every green leaf tonight Cool drops are gathering while you drift into rest Stars have no hurry, they hang in their gentle light Sleep now, my dear one, held safe in your nest

Pre-chorus

Nothing will wake you, the garden has gone still Breathe with the hush now, let go of the day Close your eyes, love, and lean into what I will

Chorus

Lindsay, the night keeps its promise to you Softly the dark wraps around where you lie Nothing can touch you, no harm getting through Lindsay, I'm here till the morning goes by

Verse 2

Every small leaf holds its water till dawn Patient and full, never spilling a drop You are that quiet, that steady, that calm Wrapped in the hush where the whole world stops

Bridge

Rest where the black sky is holding its breath Nothing tonight asks a thing of your heart

Chorus

Lindsay, the night keeps its promise to you Softly the dark wraps around where you lie Nothing can touch you, no harm getting through Lindsay, I'm here till the morning goes by

Outro

Sleep now, the leaves hold their dew until light I will hold you the same way, all through the night

Verse 1

There's a strip of yellow light along the floor tonight Just enough to tell you that you are not alone It slips beneath the door and settles soft and slight Waiting there so gently till the last small yawn has grown

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes now, let the day float far away Everything is quiet, everything can wait till morning Rest is calling softly and it wants you now to stay

Chorus

Lindsay, the light is low and warm and kind Sleep is a river and you're drifting free and slow Nothing can reach you, nothing's left to find Lindsay, we are near you wherever dreams may go

Verse 2

The hallway hums a hush that only babies understand A golden thread of comfort laid so carefully and slow It reaches through the dark to gently take your hand And tells you every shadow here is one you needn't know

Chorus

Lindsay, the light is low and warm and kind Sleep is a river and you're drifting free and slow Nothing can reach you, nothing's left to find Lindsay, we are near you wherever dreams may go

Bridge

Hush now, the house breathes slow around you Every corner soft, every worry gone to rest You are held here safely, wrapped in all that found you Sinking deeper, lighter, sweetly, into sleep's own quiet nest

Chorus

Lindsay, the light is low and warm and kind Sleep is a river and you're drifting free and slow Nothing can reach you, nothing's left to find Lindsay, we are near you wherever dreams may go

Outro

The yellow light will stay there gently glowing on the floor And you are always loved here, long after you close the door
