Silver on the Stones
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
Silver foam is sliding slow across the dark wet stones tonight
Nothing in the whole wide world can come and do you harm
Every little wave out there is folding soft and out of sight
So rest inside the quiet of this warm and steady arm

[Chorus]
Beryl, close your eyes now, let the tide roll far away
You are held so gently, safe till breaking of the day
Beryl, hush now, dreaming, nothing here can lead you astray
Sleep is just the sea come in to carry you away

[Verse 2]
The house is settling slowly like the pebbles on the shore
Every sound outside is soft and none of it will ever scare
There is nothing waiting for you but the morning at the door
And till it comes I promise you, there's nowhere safer, nowhere

[Pre-chorus]
Listen to the hush that's rolling gentle through the night
Feel how still the dark can be when everything's alright
Let it carry you down slowly to a soft and easy light

[Chorus]
Beryl, close your eyes now, let the tide roll far away
You are held so gently, safe till breaking of the day
Beryl, hush now, dreaming, nothing here can lead you astray
Sleep is just the sea come in to carry you away

[Bridge]
No storm has ever found this quiet, sheltered place
Only slow and silver water, only calm and steady grace

[Chorus]
Beryl, close your eyes now, let the tide roll far away
You are held so gently, safe till breaking of the day
Beryl, hush now, dreaming, nothing here can lead you astray
Sleep is just the sea come in to carry you away

[Outro]
Somewhere the foam still slides across the pebbles, soft and slow
And you are loved as surely as the tide will always go
