Homeward
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
A feather taps so softly on the glass beyond your head
and somewhere down the hallway a floorboard sighs instead
of any sound that frightens, it hums a gentle note
while sleep comes drifting slowly like a small and steady boat

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the house breathe low around you now
the dark is only velvet, it will not tell you how
to fear the little creaks and taps that carry you toward

[Chorus]
Edward, Edward, rest your head down soft and slow
every little sound out there just wants to see you go
onward into dreaming where the warm light never ends
Edward, you are held here, you are loved by all your friends

[Verse 2]
A window holds the moonlight like a promise kept till dawn
and you are wrapped in blankets while the whole wide night moves on
nothing out there needs you, nothing calls you from this bed
only quiet feathers drifting gently past instead

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the house breathe low around you now
the dark is only velvet, it will not tell you how
to fear the little creaks and taps that carry you toward

[Chorus]
Edward, Edward, rest your head down soft and slow
every little sound out there just wants to see you go
onward into dreaming where the warm light never ends
Edward, you are held here, you are loved by all your friends

[Bridge]
Nothing moves too fast when you are curled up warm and still
every gentle creak tonight is watching over you until

[Chorus]
Edward, Edward, rest your head down soft and slow
every little sound out there just wants to see you go
onward into dreaming where the warm light never ends
Edward, you are held here, you are loved by all your friends

[Outro]
The feather settles softly, and the glass goes still and clear
rest now, little Edward, you are safe and you are near
