Slow Drip, Soft Light
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
Somewhere behind the blind the water taps a sleepy rhythm
one small drop falling slow into the waiting enamel deep
the whole wide house is dimming down to just this golden inch of evening
and you are held inside it, safe enough to finally sleep

[Pre-chorus]
The yellow light is folding soft around the edges of the room
hush now, let the ticking water be the only sound you hear
let it carry you down gentle into

[Chorus]
Felix, the whole night is humming just for you
close your eyes and let the dark be kind
nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to move
rest here, Felix, you were made to be this warm and mine

[Verse 2]
The blind is drawn but not quite closed, a thread of moonlight finds you anyway
it lays a quiet line across the blanket where your breathing slows
somewhere far off a tap is dripping steady as a lullaby
and every drop that falls is one more minute this soft feeling grows

[Bridge]
Sleep can be a small warm room where nothing sharp is allowed to enter
let the dripping be a clock that counts you gently into rest

[Chorus]
Felix, the whole night is humming just for you
close your eyes and let the dark be kind
nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to move
rest here, Felix, you were made to be this warm and mine

[Outro]
The water in the sink has slowed to just a whisper now
sleep on, the light is low and you are held, and all is well
