Down the Warm Water
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
Watch the little bubbles turning slowly round and round
Down into the quiet where no worry can be found
Warm and soft the water says its last goodnight to you
Sleepy now, my darling, there is nothing left to do

[Chorus]
Edie, Edie, close your eyes and drift away
Every little sound of you has softened into grey
Steady as a heartbeat, Edie, steady as the tide
There is nowhere safer than right here, tucked by my side

[Verse 2]
Somewhere far off water finds its way down to the sea
But you are staying here tonight, exactly where you should be
Wrapped in something softer than the whole world put together
Held here safe and certain through the darkest kind of weather

[Pre-chorus]
Let the last light empty slowly out behind your eyes
Nothing you must carry now, no reason left to try
Just this room, this quiet, and the hush before you fly

[Chorus]
Edie, Edie, close your eyes and drift away
Every little sound of you has softened into grey
Steady as a heartbeat, Edie, steady as the tide
There is nowhere safer than right here, tucked by my side

[Bridge]
Small hands, small breath, small weight against my chest
This is how I know that you are ready now to rest
Let it all go quiet, let the ripples smooth and still

[Chorus]
Edie, Edie, close your eyes and drift away
Every little sound of you has softened into grey
Steady as a heartbeat, Edie, steady as the tide
There is nowhere safer than right here, tucked by my side

[Outro]
Somewhere the last swirl of water turns and disappears
Sleep now, you are held here, past the reach of all your years
