Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You said you wanted someone
Easy as Sunday rain
I’m all rough edges
Late to jokes
Too quick to take the blame
You said you needed shelter
A roof that never shakes
I’m cracked old stone
A crooked door
But I’ll hold through the quake
[Chorus]
I’m not what you dreamed of
Not the picture that you drew
But when the night runs colder
I’ll give my coat to you
I’m not what you wanted
Not the wish you whispered low
But I’ll be the one
Who stays when others go
[Verse 2]
You talk about a future
Like it’s some bright
Distant town
You see her face in every crowd
I hear it in each sound
You say you’re hard to handle
And you’re scared to sleep alone
So lean that fear against my chest
I’ll treat it like my own
[Chorus]
I’m not what you dreamed of
Not the picture that you drew
But when the night runs colder
I’ll give my coat to you
I’m not what you wanted
Not the wish you whispered low
But I’ll be the one
Who stays when others go
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m the turning
Between the road and sea
The hand you never asked for
Still reaching quietly (oh)
If loving you is losing
Then let me lose it slow
I’ll walk beside your shadow
Wherever you may go
[Chorus]
I’m not what you dreamed of
Not the picture that you drew
But when the dark comes rushing
I’ll light a lamp for you
I’m not what you wanted
Not the name your heart called home
But I’ll be the one
Who stays when you’re alone
[Outro]
You said you wanted someone
Easy as Sunday rain
I’ll be this weathered sky above
And love you just the same

Style
Warm modern Celtic ballad with female vocals; fingerpicked acoustic guitar and soft bodhrán pulse, airy fiddle answering phrases. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, chorus lifts with stacked harmonies and distant tin whistle. Subtle upright bass in the second half, final chorus drops to near a cappella before a gentle instrumental tag.
