Soft Steps to Beau
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
Heavy socks upon the floorboards, easy and unhurried
the whole house has gone quiet, every worry has been buried
I move slowly through the shadows just to reach your side
and the creak beneath my footstep is a lullaby, my guide

[Chorus]
Beau, the dark is only velvet pulled across the room
Beau, you're held so gently, safe inside the gloom
nothing here can touch you, nothing here will go
you are wrapped in quiet, easy as the snow

[Verse 2]
Every step I take is careful, soft as falling feathers down
landing without waking colours scattered on the ground
I would cross a thousand floors just to keep this moment slow
just to watch you settle deeper into sleep and let it go

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere near the ceiling, a hush is settling in to stay
the whole night bends around you, keeping trouble far away
and I am only steps from you, closer with each sway

[Chorus]
Beau, the dark is only velvet pulled across the room
Beau, you're held so gently, safe inside the gloom
nothing here can touch you, nothing here will go
you are wrapped in quiet, easy as the snow

[Bridge]
Let the floor creak soft beneath me, let the hours drift and blur
you are the reason every quiet thing I do occurs
rest now, there is nothing you need carry, nothing you must know

[Chorus]
Beau, the dark is only velvet pulled across the room
Beau, you're held so gently, safe inside the gloom
nothing here can touch you, nothing here will go
you are wrapped in quiet, easy as the snow

[Outro]
Somewhere the floorboards settle, and my footsteps finally cease
you are held here always, drifting soft and deep in peace
