The Last Tap Dripping
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
The house has gone quiet, every last light turned down low
Only a slow tap dripping somewhere soft and slow
Nothing to fear in the dark, only shapes settling still
And you, my Brittany, are the warmest thing I know

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the hours grow long and kind
Every small sound in the house is only the night breathing slow
Drift now, drift down where the soft dark waits for you

[Chorus]
Brittany, Brittany, sleep in the hush I made for you
Nothing can touch you here, nothing gets through
There's a whole quiet world just holding its breath tonight
And it's keeping you safe the way that it always used to

[Verse 2]
The taps have gone still now, the sink is empty and calm
Down in the dark kitchen nothing can come to harm
Just steel and quiet water, waiting for morning to come
And you, wrapped up warm, held safe in my arm

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the hours grow long and kind
Every small sound in the house is only the night breathing slow
Drift now, drift down where the soft dark waits for you

[Chorus]
Brittany, Brittany, sleep in the hush I made for you
Nothing can touch you here, nothing gets through
There's a whole quiet world just holding its breath tonight
And it's keeping you safe the way that it always used to

[Bridge]
Somewhere a slow drop falls into the dark and gone
And still you are held here, still you are wanted here

[Chorus]
Brittany, Brittany, sleep in the hush I made for you
Nothing can touch you here, nothing gets through
There's a whole quiet world just holding its breath tonight
And it's keeping you safe the way that it always used to

[Outro]
Somewhere the last tap is falling soft into the empty sink
Sleep now, my Brittany, safe as the quiet, safe as the dark
