Slow as Silver
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
A silver tap is dripping slow into a sink of steel
and every drop that falls tonight is soft as how you feel
the house breathes low around us as the evening starts to fold
you're wrapped up warm beside me and there's nothing you must feel

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the ticking hours grow gentle
let the dark come soft and slower than it's ever been
hush now, love is humming low to carry you to

[Chorus]
Colton, Colton, sleep is calling soft and low
the whole wide night is holding you the way I hold you now
dreaming's just a river and you're drifting with the flow
Colton, you are safe here, and I will not let you go

[Verse 2]
The dripping slows to nothing as the kitchen settles down
and quiet spreads across the house like water through the town
I sit and watch you breathing with your small hand curled in mine
there's nowhere I would rather be than here without a sound

[Bridge]
Rock slow, rock easy, let the minutes drift away
nothing in this whole wide world can touch you while you stay
here in the hush where every worry melts like something molten
held so close and so beloved, wrapped in warmth and often

[Chorus]
Colton, Colton, sleep is calling soft and low
the whole wide night is holding you the way I hold you now
dreaming's just a river and you're drifting with the flow
Colton, you are safe here, and I will not let you go

[Outro]
The tap has stopped its dripping and the sink is calm and still
and so are you, my Colton, sleeping soft against the sill
