White Foam by the Wall
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
White foam is washing soft over dark pebbles tonight
Under the lamp where the old stone wall stands still
You are the warmth that the whole quiet night is holding
Close as the tide that keeps turning up the hill

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the water is settling slow by the wall
Nothing can reach you, no shadow and no harm
Let your eyes close as the last little wave starts to fall

[Chorus]
Gordon, the night wraps around you like a garden
Soft and unhurried, with nothing to fear
Sleep is no burden when you are the one that we're guarding
Gordon, my Gordon, we're holding you here

[Verse 2]
Somewhere the lamp is still watching the foam turn to lace
Gentle as breath on the dark and glistening stone
You are the light that makes soft this whole quiet place
Never once, not for a moment, alone

[Bridge]
Every wave that comes in only comes in to rest
Folding down easy where the pebbles lie still
So let go now, you are safe, you are loved, you are blessed
Sleep is the gentlest hill you will ever climb

[Chorus]
Gordon, the night wraps around you like a garden
Soft and unhurried, with nothing to fear
Sleep is no burden when you are the one that we're guarding
Gordon, my Gordon, we're holding you here

[Outro]
The foam settles white on the dark pebbles by the wall
Rest now, love, we are near, we are near, we are near
