Verse 1
Dust on my fingers, boxes on the floor I click the dividers into their place Old sleeves of paper, nothing left to sort But I'd know your handwriting anywhere on the page
Pre-chorus
Everything else got faded or thrown away But you stayed clear through all of it somehow I'm not done looking, not by a long way
Chorus
Marilyn, you're the one thing I kept Not for the shine, just because you're true Through every year I lost or slept Nothing came close to loving you
Verse 2
Some folders empty, some crammed too tight Labels gone soft with the years they've seen I stopped to hold one up to the light And there you were, right where you'd always been
Chorus
Marilyn, you're the one thing I kept Not for the shine, just because you're true Through every year I lost or slept Nothing came close to loving you
Bridge
Everything else, I could let it go The rest was only paper, only dust But you're the one thing I still know The only sleeve I never had to trust
Chorus
Marilyn, you're the one thing I kept Not for the shine, just because you're true Through every year I lost or slept Nothing came close to loving you
Outro
I'll close the box and leave the rest behind You're the only thing worth going back to find
Slow Glass
Bossa nova · Bossa · Nylon guitar · BreezyA quiet bossa nova love song built around watching condensation slide down a window, for any kind of steady, unshowy love.

Verse 1
The glass is cold against my hand water finds its own slow way I watch one drop begin to fall and think of you before it lands
Pre-chorus
Some things move without a sound some things take their time to show and I have learned to wait like that
Chorus
Marilyn, you steady me calm as rain against a pane nobody feels like home the way Marilyn, you do again
Verse 2
I trace a line across the fog and write your name then let it go the window holds it for a breath that's how quiet loving you can grow
Bridge
No rush, no noise, no need to prove just this slow certain kind of love you don't have to shine to matter you just have to stay, that's enough
Chorus
Marilyn, you steady me calm as rain against a pane nobody feels like home the way Marilyn, you do again
Outro
The glass has cleared, the drop is gone but you're still here, and I'm still here
Steady as the Iron
Irish air · Irish · Whistle · LiltingA quiet love song for Marilyn, built from the calm of a ship's bulkhead and the steadiness of someone who never has to raise their voice to be trusted.

Verse 1
The grey walls hold and the deep holds still You're the one steady thing on this old hill Ring on the wall, never used, never gone Like the love that holds fast when it's calm
Pre-chorus
I've seen you weather every kind of storm Never asking to be more than you are And I'm leaning in to say it right
Chorus
Marilyn, you're the calm in the hold Every quiet thing you do turns to gold Marilyn, I don't need the tide to rise Just to keep finding you in my eyes
Verse 2
No one else walks this deck quite like you Steady hands doing what steady hands do You don't shout to prove that you care You just stay, and that stay is rare
Bridge
Some loves burn loud, then burn to grey Ours just holds, plain, come what may I don't need the noise of the sea Just you, still here, still choosing me
Chorus
Marilyn, you're the calm in the hold Every quiet thing you do turns to gold Marilyn, I don't need the tide to rise Just to keep finding you in my eyes
Outro
Grey walls still hold, the ring still hangs Steady as ever, that's where love stands
