The Tide Goes Out So Slow
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
Far away the water breathes out over shingle stone
Pulling back so softly, leaving you here on your own
You are wrapped in quiet, safe beneath this gentle sky
Every wave that settles hums a slow and soft goodbye

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere out beyond the dark the spray falls light as air
Close your eyes and let it carry every little care
Rest now while the whole wide night is holding you with care

[Chorus]
Hazel, hush now, let the tide pull low
Sleep is coming gentle, soft and slow
Hazel, dream beneath the quiet stars
Nothing in this whole night touches who you are

[Verse 2]
Darkness folds around the shore like arms around a chest
Holding back the water while the world lies down to rest
You are held here tender, tucked in warm and tucked in tight
Drifting soft as sea foam through the middle of the night

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere out beyond the dark the spray falls light as air
Close your eyes and let it carry every little care
Rest now while the whole wide night is holding you with care

[Chorus]
Hazel, hush now, let the tide pull low
Sleep is coming gentle, soft and slow
Hazel, dream beneath the quiet stars
Nothing in this whole night touches who you are

[Bridge]
Even when the water pulls so far it seems to leave
It only rests before it turns again for you to breathe

[Chorus]
Hazel, hush now, let the tide pull low
Sleep is coming gentle, soft and slow
Hazel, dream beneath the quiet stars
Nothing in this whole night touches who you are

[Outro]
Far away the water settles quiet on the stone
Sleep, and know you never once were out here on your own
