Slow Water, Soft Sleep
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a tap is letting go of one slow drop at a time
Nothing is rushing tonight, so you don't have to either
Close your small hands and let the whole house settle round you
Sleep is just quiet, waiting patiently like an old friend near

[Chorus]
Hamish, the night is holding you soft and low
Every small sound outside is only water learning to flow
You are the warmest thing in this whole house tonight, Hamish
Rest here where nothing can touch you, where love says so

[Verse 2]
Under the window the sink counts seconds nobody else hears
Your breathing has already found that same unhurried beat
Nothing is asking anything of you now, only rest
Stay curled up here where the dark and the quiet meet

[Pre-chorus]
Listen how gently the whole house exhales around your bed
Even the water outside has slowed to match your breathing
Let your eyes close now, there is nothing left unsaid

[Chorus]
Hamish, the night is holding you soft and low
Every small sound outside is only water learning to flow
You are the warmest thing in this whole house tonight, Hamish
Rest here where nothing can touch you, where love says so

[Bridge]
Drop by drop the dark gets softer, not more strange
Nothing tonight is asking you to move or change

[Chorus]
Hamish, the night is holding you soft and low
Every small sound outside is only water learning to flow
You are the warmest thing in this whole house tonight, Hamish
Rest here where nothing can touch you, where love says so

[Outro]
Somewhere that tap is still keeping time so softly and slow
Sleep now, Hamish, you are the safest thing I know
