Soft as Wax
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
A small flame is bending low and giving up its light
You are wrapped in something warmer than any candle knows
Watch how gently everything is settling into night
Danny, close your eyes now, let the quiet be what grows

[Chorus]
Danny, Danny, hush now, let the stillness in
Sleep is only love that's learned to stay
You are held so softly underneath your chin
Danny, drift away now, drift so far away

[Verse 2]
Wax runs slow and settles where the wooden stool stands still
You are safe as any harbour tucked away from any storm
Nothing in this room can climb so high or reach the sill
Rest here, little Danny, you are held and you are warm

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere past the window all the stars are burning low
Nothing here will hurry you, no reason left to rise
Let the hush come nearer now and hold you as you go

[Chorus]
Danny, Danny, hush now, let the stillness in
Sleep is only love that's learned to stay
You are held so softly underneath your chin
Danny, drift away now, drift so far away

[Bridge]
Every small light finds a way to rest when it is done
You were never meant to keep on burning through the dark
Sleep will keep you closer than the setting of the sun

[Chorus]
Danny, Danny, hush now, let the stillness in
Sleep is only love that's learned to stay
You are held so softly underneath your chin
Danny, drift away now, drift so far away

[Outro]
Somewhere a small flame has folded into smoke and rest
You are safe here, Danny, wrapped in all that loves you best
