Songs for Troy

Verse 1

The dial glows a soft amber light Rain finds the window, taps all night You breathe beside me, slow and true I keep still just to watch you

Chorus

Troy, you're the calm behind my ribs Troy, the truth beneath my fibs No need for noise, no need to chase I found my home inside your face

Verse 2

The numbers turn while we stay put No need to speak, no need to root Around for words that say it right You're already the warmest light

Pre-chorus

I've said it plain, I've said it small But some nights it means most of all So let me say it once more now

Chorus

Troy, you're the calm behind my ribs Troy, the truth beneath my fibs No need for noise, no need to chase I found my home inside your face

Bridge

Storms have come and storms will pass You stay steady while they crash This isn't new, it isn't loud It's just you, and I'm so proud

Chorus

Troy, you're the calm behind my ribs Troy, the truth beneath my fibs No need for noise, no need to chase I found my home inside your face

Outro

The dial glows, the rain moves on Still here with you when it is gone

Verse 1

Just a spoon against a cup Soft sound while I'm washing up Nothing much, just steam and suds But my mind still fills with you

Small things keep bringing you near Even when you're not right here I could tell you, if you'd stay

Chorus

Troy, you're the calm inside my noise You steady me, you're my true poise Nothing fancy, just this warmth I choose Troy, you're my quiet, lasting joy

Verse 2

You don't need the grand gesture Just your hand and steady weather Ordinary hours feel like gold When you're the one that I'm holding

Bridge

No grand stage, no need to prove Just this kitchen, just this groove I'll take slow over fast and loud I'll take you over any crowd

Troy, you're the calm inside my noise You steady me, you're my true poise Nothing fancy, just this warmth I choose Troy, you're my quiet, lasting joy

Still that same soft clink of spoon Still my favourite afternoon

Verse 1

Clock ticks soft on the dash Wet road humming below Streetlights turning us gold You're the calm I've come to know

Chorus

Troy, you steady every mile Nothing here I would destroy Even silence feels like more with you There's no one else I'd choose, Troy

Verse 2

Rain traces down the windscreen Headlights blur then go clear Your hand stays close to mine Nothing rushed, nothing to fear

I stopped watching the clock Started watching you instead Feel this pulling me in

No grand words, just this drive Just the hum and the low light You beside me is enough Simple, steady, quietly right

Troy, you steady every mile Nothing here I would destroy Even silence feels like more with you There's no one else I'd choose, Troy

Clock still ticks, soft and slow Still you, still gold, still home

Verse 1

Wool fringe rests soft against a worn old denim knee Warmth from the radiator hums so gently, quietly You are curled here safe where all the shadows soften Nothing in this room can ever touch you, Troy

Chorus

Troy, my love, the night is calm and kind Close your eyes now, leave the day behind Troy, you're held here, warm and safe and small Sleep will carry you, so gentle after all

Verse 2

Every thread above you glows a little amber light Breathing slows to match the hush that settles in the night You don't need to know how loved you truly are Just rest here where the warmth can never feel too far

Pre-chorus

Hush now, let the quiet wrap around you slow Feel the heat that says you're safe here, soft and low Drift a little further, let the stillness grow

Chorus

Troy, my love, the night is calm and kind Close your eyes now, leave the day behind Troy, you're held here, warm and safe and small Sleep will carry you, so gentle after all

Bridge

Somewhere near, a heartbeat keeps its steady, patient time Nothing asks you to be anything but only mine to hold

Chorus

Troy, my love, the night is calm and kind Close your eyes now, leave the day behind Troy, you're held here, warm and safe and small Sleep will carry you, so gentle after all

Outro

Rest against the warmth that never fades or wanders far Sleep now, little Troy, beneath your gentle glowing star

Verse 1

Rest your head down soft and let the evening hold you near Cane creaks slow beneath us like a tune we know by heart Folded clothes are waiting in their quiet, steady stack Nothing in this room tonight will ever pull apart

Pre-chorus

Hush now, every worry has been tucked away for good Breathe in slow and let the hours grow softer than before Sleep is coming closer, calm and warm and sure

Chorus

Troy, the night is gentle and it's holding you so near Every creak and murmur says there's nothing here to fear Close your eyes, my Troy, and let the dark be kind Rocking slow beside you, we will leave no one behind

Verse 2

Moonlight finds the corner where the folded blankets lean Steady as a heartbeat, the old chair rocks in place You are safe inside this small and quiet scene Nothing but the calm light falling soft across your face

Bridge

Let the creaking carry you where dreams are always mild Sleep is just the night's way of holding on to you

Chorus

Troy, the night is gentle and it's holding you so near Every creak and murmur says there's nothing here to fear Close your eyes, my Troy, and let the dark be kind Rocking slow beside you, we will leave no one behind

Outro

Sleep now, the chair still rocking soft beside the folded stack Rest easy, love is near and it is never going back

Verse 1

A yellow wedge of light lies across the old wood floor stretching soft and slow from the gap beneath the door it comes to find you here where the shadows start to fold and it never has to reach for you anymore

Chorus

Troy, the whole house breathes out slowly once you close your eyes hush now, let the day and all its noise go by nothing in the dark tonight was ever any ploy just quiet holding still because it loves you, Troy

Verse 2

Somewhere down the hallway a small lamp is burning low warming up the corners where the cool night air will go you are wrapped in blankets softer than you'll ever know and the whole wide house is settling nice and slow

Pre-chorus

Let your breathing find the rhythm of a heart that beats for you let the last light through the doorway be the only thing you knew close your eyes now, something gentle is about to carry you

Chorus

Troy, the whole house breathes out slowly once you close your eyes hush now, let the day and all its noise go by nothing in the dark tonight was ever any ploy just quiet holding still because it loves you, Troy

Bridge

Every little sound out there is turning into calm the whole night curls around you like a slow and steady arm

Chorus

Troy, the whole house breathes out slowly once you close your eyes hush now, let the day and all its noise go by nothing in the dark tonight was ever any ploy just quiet holding still because it loves you, Troy

Outro

That wedge of light will still be waiting when the morning comes sleep now, you are held, and warm, and wanted, little one
