Foam on the Dark Shore
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
Somewhere the water is folding soft under the dark
and nobody needs to be anywhere else but here
You are the light I keep watching for on that shore
small as the foam, and to me you are always clear

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, the tide has nowhere to be
let every worry go drifting away with the foam
and settle deeper as the dark starts to deepen

[Chorus]
Aspen, the night is only holding you near
nothing can reach you, nothing can touch what won't happen
Sleep now, my Aspen, safe as the shore in the dark
warm as the glow on the water, soft as it's happen

[Verse 2]
Far off a light is glowing faint on the pebbles
patient the way that love can wait through the dark
You breathe so slow, like waves that finally settle
and I could watch you forever, quiet, and calm

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, the tide has nowhere to be
let every worry go drifting away with the foam
and settle deeper as the dark starts to deepen

[Chorus]
Aspen, the night is only holding you near
nothing can reach you, nothing can touch what won't happen
Sleep now, my Aspen, safe as the shore in the dark
warm as the glow on the water, soft as it's happen

[Bridge]
Nothing will hurry you, nothing will wake you too soon
only the hush of the water, only the calm
Rest, little one, while the dark holds so gently
steady as tides that will never once harm

[Chorus]
Aspen, the night is only holding you near
nothing can reach you, nothing can touch what won't happen
Sleep now, my Aspen, safe as the shore in the dark
warm as the glow on the water, soft as it's happen

[Outro]
Somewhere the foam still glows soft on the stones
and here you sleep on, safe as the shore, safe as home
