White Foam, Wide Sky
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
White foam slides over the stones so soft and slow tonight
Every wave that comes to shore is gentle in its light
Somewhere past the dark the sky goes on so wide and clear
Close your eyes now, love, there's nothing in the world to fear

[Chorus]
Darlene, the water knows your name and hums it low
Rest your head, Darlene, and let the tide just come and go
Sleep is close and calm and deep, serene and warm and true
There is nothing in this wide night that could ever trouble you

[Verse 2]
Somewhere the sea breathes out and pulls the foam back with the moon
Nothing hurries in this hour, nothing comes too soon
You are safe beneath a sky that holds you like a friend
Every little wave that rolls will bring you home again

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the quiet water carry all you carry
Let the dark stones keep their watch so you don't have to worry
Sleep is coming closer now, soft as foam on sand

[Chorus]
Darlene, the water knows your name and hums it low
Rest your head, Darlene, and let the tide just come and go
Sleep is close and calm and deep, serene and warm and true
There is nothing in this wide night that could ever trouble you

[Bridge]
Stones stay still while soft foam turns them slowly, slowly clean
Nothing in this night will ever hurry you between
You are held as gently as the shore is held by sea

[Chorus]
Darlene, the water knows your name and hums it low
Rest your head, Darlene, and let the tide just come and go
Sleep is close and calm and deep, serene and warm and true
There is nothing in this wide night that could ever trouble you

[Outro]
Somewhere still the foam runs soft across the same dark stones
Sleep now, love, the wide sky holds you safe until the dawn
