Dark Water, Soft Light
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
Dark water moves so slowly over the smooth grey stone
The window's open just to let the cool night in
You're curled up warm beneath the blankets, never alone
This quiet house holds you as gently as kin

[Pre-chorus]
Listen how the water hushes, soft against the ground
Nothing out there means you harm, nothing but that sound
Close your eyes now, let the dark wrap slowly around

[Chorus]
Ashley, sleep is coming, easy as the tide
There's nothing in the shadows, nothing left to fear
Ashley, you are held here, safe on every side
Rest your head, my Ashley, morning will be here

[Verse 2]
The pebbles never worry as the water rolls them round
You don't have to carry anything tonight
Every little sound outside is just a gentle sound
And you are wrapped in something warmer than the light

[Pre-chorus]
Listen how the water hushes, soft against the ground
Nothing out there means you harm, nothing but that sound
Close your eyes now, let the dark wrap slowly around

[Chorus]
Ashley, sleep is coming, easy as the tide
There's nothing in the shadows, nothing left to fear
Ashley, you are held here, safe on every side
Rest your head, my Ashley, morning will be here

[Bridge]
However far the water travels, it comes home to shore
You are loved as surely as the tide returns once more

[Chorus]
Ashley, sleep is coming, easy as the tide
There's nothing in the shadows, nothing left to fear
Ashley, you are held here, safe on every side
Rest your head, my Ashley, morning will be here

[Outro]
The water keeps on turning gently over smooth grey stone
Sleep now, you are steady, and you never sleep alone
