Foam and Harbour Light
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
Soft foam slips over the pebbles and pulls away again
far off a foghorn hums low like a friend
nothing tonight is asking you to be strong
you can just breathe and let the dark hum along

[Pre-chorus]
Hear how the water forgets every worry it holds
feel how the warmth of this bed keeps out the cold
close your eyes now, there's nowhere you need to be

[Chorus]
Alex, the tide won't leave you, it only comes near
sleep now, my Alex, there's nothing to fear
every wave that breaks is a hush meant for you
Alex, the night keeps its promise, soft and true

[Verse 2]
Stones on the shoreline have waited through storms before
quiet now, worn smooth, and needing nothing more
you are held the same way, gentle and whole
warm as a hand resting soft on your soul

[Bridge]
Somewhere a boat finds its way home by that sound
turning through darkness till harbour is found
you don't have to travel, you're already there

[Chorus]
Alex, the tide won't leave you, it only comes near
sleep now, my Alex, there's nothing to fear
every wave that breaks is a hush meant for you
Alex, the night keeps its promise, soft and true

[Outro]
Let the foam settle soft where the pebbles lie still
sleep now, you're safe, and you always will
