Steam and Stillness
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
Steam is rising soft above the water where you played
Small waves settle now and the wooden duck stays still
Warmth still holds you gently, the kind that never fades
Close your eyes, my love, there's nowhere else you need to be but here

[Pre-chorus]
Everything is quiet, the whole wide house breathes slow
Nothing needs your worry, no reason left to roam
Sleep is drawing near now, so soft, so warm, so low

[Chorus]
Halima, the night is wrapping soft around your bed
Hush now, let the stillness settle deep behind your eyes
Every star tonight was lit to watch you, Halima
Sleep will hold you gently till the morning starts to rise

[Verse 2]
Somewhere in the quiet a small boat waits for morning
Nobody is rushing, there's no reason to be quick
You are safe and steady, wrapped in warmth without a warning
Rest now, little one, the dark is soft, the dark is thick

[Bridge]
Let the water settle, let your breathing settle too
Nothing in this whole night wants for anything but you

[Chorus]
Halima, the night is wrapping soft around your bed
Hush now, let the stillness settle deep behind your eyes
Every star tonight was lit to watch you, Halima
Sleep will hold you gently till the morning starts to rise

[Outro]
Somewhere still the water holds its calm and steady shine
Sleep now, little Halima, the whole night long is yours and mine
