Slow the Water
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a tap is letting go of the day so slowly
Each drop falls soft into the steel and softly disappears
You are curled up warm where nothing sharp can find you
Sleep is already humming low inside your tiny ears

[Chorus]
Carol, the dark is only a blanket pulled up high
Nothing moves too fast tonight, nothing dares to try
Close your eyes now, Carol, let the hours drift by
Safe here beside you until the morning sky

[Verse 2]
Shadows lie down easy in the corners of the room
Nothing in this quiet house has any need to hide
Your breath falls even as the small clock ticks its tune
Wrapped in a stillness that will stay here by your side

[Pre-chorus]
Hear how the whole house has slowed its beating heart
Every small sound settling into its right place
Nothing needs to hurry now, we are not far apart

[Chorus]
Carol, the dark is only a blanket pulled up high
Nothing moves too fast tonight, nothing dares to try
Close your eyes now, Carol, let the hours drift by
Safe here beside you until the morning sky

[Bridge]
Rest your small hand open like it's holding onto nothing
Let every worry empty slowly out like water finding rest

[Chorus]
Carol, the dark is only a blanket pulled up high
Nothing moves too fast tonight, nothing dares to try
Close your eyes now, Carol, let the hours drift by
Safe here beside you until the morning sky

[Outro]
Somewhere that tap still falls, slower now than before
You are held so gently, needing nothing more
