  Verse 1

  Two coats hung on one old rail Yours brushing mine in the breeze The water below never fails To hold what it sees with ease

  Chorus

  Rayan, you're the one I trust Steady as the tide comes in Nothing here has turned to rust I would choose you, Rayan, again

  Verse 2

  I forget whose sleeve is whose Out here it hardly matters at all You're the warmth I never lose Even when the evenings turn cold

  Pre-chorus

  I've stopped counting all the years Stopped waiting for the story to break There's only this, and you still here

  Chorus

  Rayan, you're the one I trust Steady as the tide comes in Nothing here has turned to rust I would choose you, Rayan, again

  Bridge

  Let the water rise and fall We'll hang here through it all

  Chorus

  Rayan, you're the one I trust Steady as the tide comes in Nothing here has turned to rust I would choose you, Rayan, again

  Outro

  Two coats still hang from that rail Yours next to mine, come what may

• Crust of the Loaf

  Soul waltz · Soul · Organ · Swaying

  A quiet, plainspoken love song for Rayan, built from one small shared moment of breaking bread, for love that has settled deep rather than love that shouts.

  Verse 1

  A crust of bread between two thumbs Checkered wool across our knees You break it slow and pass me half You always give the better piece

  Chorus

  Rayan, you keep the small things kind No need to raise your voice for me There's room for both of us right here Rayan, that's all I need to see

  Verse 2

  We don't need much to call it good Just crumbs and cold and steady light You laugh a little, brush your hands Nothing about this feels like a fight

  Pre-chorus

  I've watched you give the bigger half So many times I lost the count Something in me starts to

  Chorus

  Rayan, you keep the small things kind No need to raise your voice for me There's room for both of us right here Rayan, that's all I need to see

  Bridge

  I don't need the grand gesture kind Just this, just you, just holding still You make the plainest moment count And somehow that's the part that thrills

  Chorus

  Rayan, you keep the small things kind No need to raise your voice for me There's room for both of us right here Rayan, that's all I need to see

  Outro

  Still just a crust between two thumbs Still you, still giving me the best

  Verse 1

  Silver drops run down the glass Light keeps flickering as they pass You lean in and check the sky I forget the reason why

  Pre-chorus

  Rain's not slowing, neither are we Nowhere I would rather be Something's building, closer now

  Chorus

  Rayan, I could stand here for hours Watching the light do what it does Rayan, you're the calm in the weather Nothing about this feels like rush

  Verse 2

  The shelter hums with flickering light You laugh at how we lost the night Water pools around our feet Even the cold feels kind of sweet

  Pre-chorus

  Rain's not slowing, neither are we Nowhere I would rather be Something's building, closer now

  Chorus

  Rayan, I could stand here for hours Watching the light do what it does Rayan, you're the calm in the weather Nothing about this feels like rush

  Bridge

  No umbrella, no plan, no clock Just you, steady as a rock I'd take this over sunny days With you, the rain's alright

  Chorus

  Rayan, I could stand here for hours Watching the light do what it does Rayan, you're the calm in the weather Nothing about this feels like rush

  Outro

  Someday the glass will dry out clear Still I'll want you standing here
