Still Above the Painted Bars
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
The wooden mobile hangs so still above the painted bars tonight
No need to turn, no need to spin, just rest beneath the fading light
Every shadow in this room is gentle, soft and holding tight
You are wrapped in something warmer than the dark could ever fight

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the day float somewhere far and small
Nothing here can reach you now, no reason left to call
Just the hush of breathing slow before the sleep can fall

[Chorus]
Camden, Camden, drift away and rest your weary head
There is nowhere safer than this warm and gentle bed
Camden, hush now, let the quiet be your friend
You are loved before you sleep and loved when you wake again

[Verse 2]
The night outside is wide and dark but nothing in it wants to harm
Every star has settled down to watch and keep you calm
You don't need to understand the reasons for the balm
Just know that you are held tonight inside a steady arm

[Chorus]
Camden, Camden, drift away and rest your weary head
There is nowhere safer than this warm and gentle bed
Camden, hush now, let the quiet be your friend
You are loved before you sleep and loved when you wake again

[Bridge]
Nothing needs to happen now, nothing needs to start
Just the slow and steady rhythm of a quiet, trusting heart

[Chorus]
Camden, Camden, drift away and rest your weary head
There is nowhere safer than this warm and gentle bed
Camden, hush now, let the quiet be your friend
You are loved before you sleep and loved when you wake again

[Outro]
The wooden mobile still and quiet, watching from above
Sleep now, Camden, wrapped in something patient as this love
