Warm Water, Slow
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a tap is letting go of water, slow and warm
Falling soft into the white and waiting bowl below
Nothing in this house is hurrying tonight, nothing plans to harm
You are held here safer than the gentlest thing I know

[Chorus]
Carole, the night is only warmth and quiet falling round you
Close your eyes and let the hours drip away like rain
Nothing out there in the dark has ever truly found you
Carole, you are safe here, you will always be again

[Verse 2]
Every drop that falls tonight is falling soft as breathing
Filling up the basin slow the way your sleep will fill
Nothing in this room has any reason for its leaving
Everything is staying close and everything is still

[Pre-chorus]
Listen to the water finding its own gentle way down
Feel how nothing rushes here, how nothing needs to hurry
There is only warmth to hold you, soft and round

[Chorus]
Carole, the night is only warmth and quiet falling round you
Close your eyes and let the hours drip away like rain
Nothing out there in the dark has ever truly found you
Carole, you are safe here, you will always be again

[Bridge]
Sleep the way the water sleeps once it has come to rest
Held inside the white and rounded quiet of the bowl

[Chorus]
Carole, the night is only warmth and quiet falling round you
Close your eyes and let the hours drip away like rain
Nothing out there in the dark has ever truly found you
Carole, you are safe here, you will always be again

[Outro]
Somewhere that tap has slowed to almost nothing now, and stopped
Sleep on, Carole, warm and certain, held till morning drops
