Cooling Slow
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
The kitchen goes quiet once the last cup is set down
Steam curling soft where the white mug cools near the sink
Somewhere behind me the house folds into its calm
And you are the warmth that stays when the light goes brown

[Chorus]
Charles, my love, the night is soft and kind
Close your eyes, let the day unwind
You are held, you are safe, you are mine
Charles, there's nothing left to find

[Verse 2]
The wooden table holds the hush of the evening still
Every small sound has gone to rest in its place
And I would stay here till the morning arrives
Just to watch you dream with your hand curled so small

[Pre-chorus]
The house breathes slow, the walls lean in to listen
Every shadow softens, learns to lie down too
So let your breath find mine and drift along with it

[Chorus]
Charles, my love, the night is soft and kind
Close your eyes, let the day unwind
You are held, you are safe, you are mine
Charles, there's nothing left to find

[Bridge]
No need to hurry, no need to wake
Sleep comes gentle for your own sake

[Chorus]
Charles, my love, the night is soft and kind
Close your eyes, let the day unwind
You are held, you are safe, you are mine
Charles, there's nothing left to find

[Outro]
The mug sits cool now, the kitchen has gone still
And you sleep on, wrapped in all the warmth I have to give
