Slow and Low
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
Somewhere in the quiet a small light starts to hum
Behind the heavy glass a shadow turns so slow
You are wrapped in nothing but the warmth of coming sleep
And I am here beside you watching gently as you go

[Pre-chorus]
The house breathes soft around us, every corner still
Nothing in the dark tonight can touch you where you lie
So let your tired eyes close now and drift where dreaming spills

[Chorus]
Delilah, the night folds down around you soft and slow
Like a pendulum swinging gently to and fro
You are held here safely, nothing here will let you go
Delilah, hush now, sleep is all you need to know

[Verse 2]
The clock behind its glass keeps time for you alone
Ticking out a rhythm only quiet ears can hear
Every little swing of it is saying you are known
And every hour that passes brings the morning near

[Bridge]
Rest your head where nothing hurries, nothing calls your name too loud
Sleep is just a small room where you're never lost or found

[Chorus]
Delilah, the night folds down around you soft and slow
Like a pendulum swinging gently to and fro
You are held here safely, nothing here will let you go
Delilah, hush now, sleep is all you need to know

[Outro]
Somewhere behind the glass the small slow swinging stays
Watching over you until the softest edge of day
