Held Against the Side
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
The little duck stayed close against the porcelain side tonight
held there soft and steady by a small and quiet might
and just like that small duck is never swept away or far
you are held this close to where the warm and safe things are

[Pre-chorus]
The water settles slow and the whole wide house grows still
every worry of the day has gone and left no chill
so let your eyes grow heavy now, there's nothing left to do but drift

[Chorus]
Cynthia, the night is soft and it was always kin to ya
nothing here will pull away or ever drift too far from ya
sleep is just a warmer room that the whole world's been to ya
rest now, little one, this song has always been within ya

[Verse 2]
The moon sits in the window like a lamp somebody lit
and the dark outside is gentle, it was never meant to bite
every hush across the room is only love in disguise
so let it wrap around you soft as closing your own eyes

[Chorus]
Cynthia, the night is soft and it was always kin to ya
nothing here will pull away or ever drift too far from ya
sleep is just a warmer room that the whole world's been to ya
rest now, little one, this song has always been within ya

[Bridge]
Nothing has to hold you, you were never going to fall
the quiet in this room was always yours, above it all

[Chorus]
Cynthia, the night is soft and it was always kin to ya
nothing here will pull away or ever drift too far from ya
sleep is just a warmer room that the whole world's been to ya
rest now, little one, this song has always been within ya

[Outro]
Somewhere a small duck rests against the side, still and slow
you are held the same way here, and you were always going to be so
