Love Songs for Ryder

• Stay Longer Than the Leaves

  Folk duet · Folk · Harmony · Two voices

  A quiet folk duet about steady, unshowy love, built from a small autumn picture: wet leaves that cling to a bench long after the season moves on. Good for anyone who loves plainly and stays close.

  Verse 1

  The garden bench is soaked and cold Leaves stuck flat against the wood You pulled your collar up and stayed Longer than you really should

  Chorus

  Ryder, you don't make a fuss You just stay when others leave Some folk talk of love for hours Ryder, you just let me breathe

  Verse 2

  I've watched whole seasons come and go Watched the fallen leaves turn brown You're still the one who sits with me When the light starts falling down

  Pre-chorus

  I don't need the grand gesture I don't need a single word Just you, steady, close beside me

  Chorus

  Ryder, you don't make a fuss You just stay when others leave Some folk talk of love for hours Ryder, you just let me breathe

  Bridge

  Everyone else looks for wider skies I found what I need in you Quiet as a wet bench in November True as the coldest mornings are true

  Chorus

  Ryder, you don't make a fuss You just stay when others leave Some folk talk of love for hours Ryder, you just let me breathe

  Outro

  The leaves will lift when spring comes round But you're the one who stayed

  Verse 1

  Rain keeps sliding down the glass Streetlights blur as they pass Dashboard glow on your face tonight You make the whole world feel like grass

  Pre-chorus

  Engine humming, soft and slow Nowhere else that I need to go Something's building I can't hide

  Chorus

  Ryder, you're the reason I stay Every mile feels like a shorter way Ryder, my heart's got no divide I'd follow you like the tide

  Verse 2

  Windows fog from all our talk Time stands still, we let it stall We don't need to be anywhere Just you, the rain, and me, that's all

  Chorus

  Ryder, you're the reason I stay Every mile feels like a shorter way Ryder, my heart's got no divide I'd follow you like the tide

  Bridge

  Some folks chase the bright and loud I just want you, quiet and true No need for a crowd Just this light, just this view

  Chorus

  Ryder, you're the reason I stay Every mile feels like a shorter way Ryder, my heart's got no divide I'd follow you like the tide

  Outro

  Rain still slides down the glass But I'm right here, holding fast

  Verse 1

  Cloth on the grass, catching the light Soft in the breeze, easy and slow You settle my mind like midday quiet You're the calm that I hold onto

  Pre-chorus

  Something in you steadies the air Something in you makes the noise stop I feel it building, closer than close

  Chorus

  Ryder, you're wider than any horizon I've known Nothing about you feels far or small Ryder, I'd follow wherever you've grown You're the one truth that holds through it all

  Verse 2

  Fabric lifts up, then settles again Like my heart does whenever you're near You don't have to try to be steady You already are, that much is clear

  Chorus

  Ryder, you're wider than any horizon I've known Nothing about you feels far or small Ryder, I'd follow wherever you've grown You're the one truth that holds through it all

  Bridge

  No need for more than this Just you, this field, this air I've never needed convincing You were always worth the care

  Chorus

  Ryder, you're wider than any horizon I've known Nothing about you feels far or small Ryder, I'd follow wherever you've grown You're the one truth that holds through it all

  Outro

  The cloth still moves in the same soft breeze And I still feel the same, easy and sure
