Homeward
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
A small radio hums low beneath the folded blanket
soft as breathing, soft as snow beginning to fall
Nothing in the dark tonight will come to find you
for you are held so gently, wanted most of all

[Chorus]
Edward, the night is warm and turning homeward
carrying you softly on its quiet tide
Every hush and murmur leads you onward
Edward, you are loved, and safe inside

[Verse 2]
The wool is thick and heavy, warm against your shoulder
and static hums a tune too soft to name
You do not need to listen, only rest inside it
knowing you are cherished, always just the same

[Pre-chorus]
Let your small hands loosen, let your breathing slow
let the hush around you settle deep and low
for something warm is waiting, just before you go

[Chorus]
Edward, the night is warm and turning homeward
carrying you softly on its quiet tide
Every hush and murmur leads you onward
Edward, you are loved, and safe inside

[Bridge]
Sleep is not a far place, only a gentle turning
a step so light and easy, it feels like drifting home
Nothing here will hurry you, nothing here will call you
you are already treasured, wherever you may roam

[Chorus]
Edward, the night is warm and turning homeward
carrying you softly on its quiet tide
Every hush and murmur leads you onward
Edward, you are loved, and safe inside

[Outro]
The radio hums so quiet now beneath the woollen blanket
and you are wrapped in all the warmth this night can hold
