Still as the Brass
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
Something old and steady keeps its watch beside your bed
Nothing in this room will ever move or rush ahead
Deep inside the dark a patient stillness holds its place
You are safe beneath the hush that settles overhead

[Chorus]
Abigail, the night has folded soft around your name
Every hour is holding you as gently as a flame
You are held the way old brass is held in polished wood
Abigail, my love for you will never dim or change

[Verse 2]
Somewhere in the dark a weight hangs quiet, never swinging
Time itself has paused to hear the small breath that you're bringing
Nothing has to happen now, no reason to be moving
Rest inside the calm that this whole night is slowly singing

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the ticking of the world go still
Let the hush wrap round you softer than a windowsill
Something warm is watching over every breath until

[Chorus]
Abigail, the night has folded soft around your name
Every hour is holding you as gently as a flame
You are held the way old brass is held in polished wood
Abigail, my love for you will never dim or change

[Bridge]
No need to keep the count of minutes passing by
Nothing here will hurry you, no reason to ask why
Just rest inside the quiet that was made to hold you tight

[Chorus]
Abigail, the night has folded soft around your name
Every hour is holding you as gently as a flame
You are held the way old brass is held in polished wood
Abigail, my love for you will never dim or change

[Outro]
Somewhere still and dark, something steady holds its place
Sleep now, love, held safe as brass, wrapped in the night's embrace
