White Steam Rising
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
Steam is rising soft and slow above the water's gentle glow
Warmth is wrapped around you now, and nothing here will let you go
The whole wide world has gone to hush, and dimmed its light for you to rest
This quiet room will hold you close, you are the calmest, safest guest

[Pre-chorus]
The candle dims, the water cools, but you are warm beneath my arm
Every worry drifts away like steam that rises soft and calm
Close your eyes now, let it come, the sleep that keeps you safe from harm

[Chorus]
Declan, Declan, drift away on breath as soft as falling snow
There is nowhere you could go where you're not loved, so you should know
Hush now, Declan, let the hours turn so easy, turn so slow
Sleep is calling gentle now, and I won't let the night's wind blow

[Verse 2]
The lamp turns low, the water's still, and shadows settle on the wall
You are wrapped in something softer than a blanket after all
Every little sound tonight is far away and losing sound
This is where you're meant to be, right here where love has always found

[Pre-chorus]
The candle dims, the water cools, but you are warm beneath my arm
Every worry drifts away like steam that rises soft and calm
Close your eyes now, let it come, the sleep that keeps you safe from harm

[Chorus]
Declan, Declan, drift away on breath as soft as falling snow
There is nowhere you could go where you're not loved, so you should know
Hush now, Declan, let the hours turn so easy, turn so slow
Sleep is calling gentle now, and I won't let the night's wind blow

[Bridge]
Somewhere past the edge of dreaming, someone's watching over you
Nothing in the dark can reach you, nothing sharp or hard or true

[Chorus]
Declan, Declan, drift away on breath as soft as falling snow
There is nowhere you could go where you're not loved, so you should know
Hush now, Declan, let the hours turn so easy, turn so slow
Sleep is calling gentle now, and I won't let the night's wind blow

[Outro]
The steam has settled, and the water's still and quiet now
You are safe and warm and sleeping, and I'm watching over you somehow
