Steam and Stillness
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
Steam is rising thick and white above the warm water tonight
Soft and slow it climbs the air and fades from sight
Everything is gentle now, everything is right
You are wrapped in warmth and love, held close and tight

[Pre-chorus]
The water cools, the candle dims, the day is letting go
Every worry drifts away like ripples soft and slow
Close your eyes, my darling one, and feel the quiet grow

[Chorus]
Caitlin, hush now, let the night come in
There is nothing here to fear, nothing to win
You are steady, you are safe, you always win
Caitlin, rest your head, let the dreams begin

[Verse 2]
The towel is warm, the room is dim, the hour is turning late
Somewhere far away the stars are starting to wait
You are more than anyone could ever calculate
A quiet kind of wonder that the whole world should celebrate

[Chorus]
Caitlin, hush now, let the night come in
There is nothing here to fear, nothing to win
You are steady, you are safe, you always win
Caitlin, rest your head, let the dreams begin

[Bridge]
Sleep will hold you gently as the hours slip on by
No need to chase the daylight, no need to wonder why
You are loved beyond the counting, loved beneath this quiet sky

[Chorus]
Caitlin, hush now, let the night come in
There is nothing here to fear, nothing to win
You are steady, you are safe, you always win
Caitlin, rest your head, let the dreams begin

[Outro]
The steam has settled soft and low, the water still and clear
Sleep now, little one, for love is always here
