Slowly Turning
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
The moon leans low and paints your ceiling silver and slow
Above your crib the little shapes begin to go
Turning soft in circles nobody has to see
I will stay right here and watch the whole night grow

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the spinning carry you down
Nothing in this room can ever bring you harm
Just the hush, and you, and this whole house settling round

[Chorus]
Harry, Harry, safe beneath the stars I carry
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever marry fear to you
Sleep will come the way the tide comes, sure and slow
There is no love as steady as the one I carry

[Verse 2]
The shadows on the wall are only shapes at play
They dance a little longer, then they drift away
You do not have to watch them, you can let them go
I will still be here when morning finds its way

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the spinning carry you down
Nothing in this room can ever bring you harm
Just the hush, and you, and this whole house settling round

[Chorus]
Harry, Harry, safe beneath the stars I carry
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever marry fear to you
Sleep will come the way the tide comes, sure and slow
There is no love as steady as the one I carry

[Bridge]
Every little turn above your head is one more hour of rest
Every breath you take is proof that you are truly blessed
Rest now, little one, there is no reason left to fight it

[Chorus]
Harry, Harry, safe beneath the stars I carry
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever marry fear to you
Sleep will come the way the tide comes, sure and slow
There is no love as steady as the one I carry

[Outro]
The mobile turns so slowly now, it barely seems to move
You are held here, always, in the quiet that we choose
