Slow the Water
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
Little bubbles rise and settle soft against your skin
Warm water holds you gentle as the light begins to fade
Nothing hurries here beside you, nothing rushes in
Everything tonight is quiet, everything's unmade

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the warmth keep sinking slowly down
Every worry of the daylight melts and drifts away
Hush now, let the hum of evening wrap you soft and round

[Chorus]
Addison, the night is closing gentle over you
Sleep is only water rising, warm and clean and slow
Nothing in the dark can reach you, nothing ever true
Addison, I'll keep you softer than the porcelain glow

[Verse 2]
One more bubble breaks in silence, one more breath let go
Fingers trailing through the water, calm as it can be
Sleep is waiting just beyond you, patient, soft and slow
Nothing in this house tonight will wake you but for me

[Chorus]
Addison, the night is closing gentle over you
Sleep is only water rising, warm and clean and slow
Nothing in the dark can reach you, nothing ever true
Addison, I'll keep you softer than the porcelain glow

[Bridge]
Rest inside the hush that holds you, easy as the tide
There is nowhere you are needed, only here, my side

[Chorus]
Addison, the night is closing gentle over you
Sleep is only water rising, warm and clean and slow
Nothing in the dark can reach you, nothing ever true
Addison, I'll keep you softer than the porcelain glow

[Outro]
Let the last small bubble vanish, soft against the white
Sleep now, Addison, and drift here safe till morning light
