Soft as the Water
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
Somewhere below us a tap lets its slow small drops go falling
into a bowl that hums low like the house is breathing too
and all of that quiet is only the world settling down around you
because nothing tonight has anywhere better to be than with you

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the dark come soft and unhurried
every small sound in this house is only here to keep you calm
and I am right here while the night folds itself around us

[Chorus]
Cora, the dark is only a blanket that loves you
nothing out there can reach where you softly lie
Cora, I'll stay till your breathing goes even and easy
you are the warmest thing underneath this whole sky

[Verse 2]
The kitchen forgets itself slowly, the light going gentle and grey
and even the water sounds like it's humming you under

[Chorus]
Cora, the dark is only a blanket that loves you
nothing out there can reach where you softly lie
Cora, I'll stay till your breathing goes even and easy
you are the warmest thing underneath this whole sky

[Bridge]
Let every small sound become part of your drifting
the drip, the hush, the low steady hum of this home
none of it matters as much as you sleeping so gently
safe in the middle of all that I am

[Chorus]
Cora, the dark is only a blanket that loves you
nothing out there can reach where you softly lie
Cora, I'll stay till your breathing goes even and easy
you are the warmest thing underneath this whole sky

[Outro]
Somewhere the water still falls into silence and stillness
and you are already carried past all of it, safe and asleep
