  Verse 1

  I wipe the dust from the old sleeve Careful with the songs I believe You put this record on for me Morgan, that's how love came to be

  Pre-chorus

  The needle finds the groove again Slow like it knows just where and when And something in me starts to bend

  Chorus

  Morgan, you're the sound I choose Morgan, steady in these old blues Some nights we barely say a word You hum and I'm still, and I'm heard

  Verse 2

  You keep the sleeves in order still Line them up by your own quiet will I never asked you why you cared But you cared, and I was there

  Bridge

  No song we own says it plain But you play it again and again That's how I know what stays the same

  Chorus

  Morgan, you're the sound I choose Morgan, steady in these old blues Some nights we barely say a word You hum and I'm still, and I'm heard

  Outro

  I'll wipe this dust every year And love you plainer, sitting here

• Set the Bags Down

  Doo wop · Retro · Sweet

  A steady doo wop love song about the relief of arriving where you belong, built from the small moment of setting down heavy bags beside someone you trust completely.

  Verse 1

  Two bags leaning on the wall Under the awning, out of the rain I stop and breathe when you're this close Every mile was worth the strain

  Chorus

  Morgan, you're the place I land Streets could shake and gardens flood Morgan, I would know your hand In a crowd, in the dark, in my blood

  Verse 2

  Nobody else waits like you wait Patient by the striped café You take one bag before I ask And that says more than words could say

  Pre-chorus

  I've counted doors that led me wrong Counted years I walked alone Then I hear you say my name

  Chorus

  Morgan, you're the place I land Streets could shake and gardens flood Morgan, I would know your hand In a crowd, in the dark, in my blood

  Bridge

  Whatever I'm carrying gets lighter here Set down easy, nothing to prove You don't ask why my hands are full You just reach for it, and I move

  Chorus

  Morgan, you're the place I land Streets could shake and gardens flood Morgan, I would know your hand In a crowd, in the dark, in my blood

  Outro

  Let the bags rest against the wall We're not going anywhere tonight

• Two Thumbs on the Ticket

  Bossa nova · Bossa · Nylon guitar · Breezy

  A quiet bossa nova love song about the small, steady certainty of choosing someone, built from the image of two tickets held between thumbs as the timetable clicks over.

  Verse 1

  Paper tickets between two thumbs the timetable board clicks and hums any train we catch is fine because you're the one it becomes

  Pre-chorus

  I don't need to know where we're going just that your hand keeps on holding so tell me the platform, I'm ready

  Chorus

  Morgan, you steady every room I'm in calm as a held breath, warm as skin you're the reason clocks slow down I'd wait all day just to begin

  Verse 2

  Boards flicker, times rearrange nothing about this feels strange you look at me like it's simple and somehow, with you, it stays the same

  Chorus

  Morgan, you steady every room I'm in calm as a held breath, warm as skin you're the reason clocks slow down I'd wait all day just to begin

  Bridge

  Let every train pull out without us we'll catch the next one, no rush this is the part nobody photographs just thumbs, and tickets, and trust

  Chorus

  Morgan, you steady every room I'm in calm as a held breath, warm as skin you're the reason clocks slow down I'd wait all day just to begin

  Outro

  Hold the ticket, keep the seat warm I'll come find you, Morgan, whatever the platform
