Silver Water
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a tap is letting go of silver water, slow
and every drop falls soft into the dark below
the kitchen holds its breath and lets the hours drift
while you lie warm and safe inside this gentle shift

[Chorus]
Eugene, the night is closing soft between
the house is dim and calm and almost serene
hush now, my love, and settle into the scene
sleep finds you first, my quiet little Eugene

[Verse 2]
The water taps a rhythm on the old steel sink
steady as a heartbeat, slower than you think
and every falling drop is saying you are held
by arms that will not tire and love that has not felled

[Pre-chorus]
Outside the dark is deep but never unkind
the whole world softens down and leaves its noise behind
and something in the quiet is reaching out to find you

[Chorus]
Eugene, the night is closing soft between
the house is dim and calm and almost serene
hush now, my love, and settle into the scene
sleep finds you first, my quiet little Eugene

[Bridge]
Drip by drip the night pulls closer in
folding round the small and steady rise of your breathing
nothing here can hurry you, nothing here will call
only the water counting time so soft and small

[Chorus]
Eugene, the night is closing soft between
the house is dim and calm and almost serene
hush now, my love, and settle into the scene
sleep finds you first, my quiet little Eugene

[Outro]
The tap falls quiet now, the kitchen dark and still
and you sleep on, held safe, exactly as I will
