Steady Now, Edie
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
Cotton curtains sway soft where the streetlight comes and goes
Little breaths in the dark keep a rhythm slow and true
Nothing out there can reach you, nobody that you know
Only shadows and quiet, only me and you

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let your eyes grow heavy and low
Every worry can wait till the morning light
Close them soft, let the whole wide world go

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Edie, steady as the tide
Nothing in this room will ever leave your side
You're the calm I hold, the hush I keep inside
Rest now, Edie, let the night be wide

[Verse 2]
Glass holds the glow of a lamp from down the street
Warm against the cold that waits beyond the pane
You are wrapped up tight from your head down to your feet
Safe here in the dark while the whole world stays the same

[Bridge]
Nothing hurries here, no clock, no chasing light
Just the slow hush of breathing, just the fold of night

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Edie, steady as the tide
Nothing in this room will ever leave your side
You're the calm I hold, the hush I keep inside
Rest now, Edie, let the night be wide

[Outro]
Curtains still against the glass, the streetlight dims to grey
Sleep on, little steady one, till morning finds its way
