Soft Against the Stones
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
Far off the white foam hushes soft against the stones tonight
No moon is out to watch you, only starless quiet light
But you are wrapped in warmth where nothing cold can ever creep
And every gentle wave is singing you to sleep

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, the dark is only velvet, soft and slow
There is nothing in this night that means you harm, you know
So let the hush and the tide carry you where dreams will go

[Chorus]
Cora, Cora, sleep is calling low and sweet
Nothing in the dark can reach the warmth around your feet
You are held here safer than the shore holds every stone
Cora, you are never, ever, sleeping here alone

[Verse 2]
The water does not need a moon to find its gentle way
It hums along the stones the same at night as it does by day
And you don't need to see the path to know that you are safe
You just need arms to hold you soft until the morning waits

[Bridge]
Somewhere past the edge of sight the water folds in black and grey
But nothing out beyond that dark will ever come this way

[Chorus]
Cora, Cora, sleep is calling low and sweet
Nothing in the dark can reach the warmth around your feet
You are held here safer than the shore holds every stone
Cora, you are never, ever, sleeping here alone

[Outro]
Let the far off foam keep hushing soft against the stones
You are already home, and never, ever, on your own
