Steady as the Pendulum
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
Down the hall a small clock swings so slow behind its glass
Counting every minute as the evening starts to pass
Somewhere near the floorboards give a soft and settling creak
You are held here safely while the whole house starts to sleep

[Pre-chorus]
Listen to the hush that settles over every room
Nothing here will hurry you, no reason and no rule
Close your eyes and drift where all the quiet wants to go

[Chorus]
Heather, Heather, rest your head and let the night grow still
Nothing here will wake you now, no worry ever will
You are steady as a heartbeat, you are gentle as a breath
Heather, you are safe here, safer than a lullaby can say

[Verse 2]
Shadows lean along the wall but none of them will stay
Every one will melt away before the break of day
Somewhere out beyond the window stars are holding still
Waiting just to watch you sleeping, waiting where they will

[Pre-chorus]
Listen to the hush that settles over every room
Nothing here will hurry you, no reason and no rule
Close your eyes and drift where all the quiet wants to go

[Chorus]
Heather, Heather, rest your head and let the night grow still
Nothing here will wake you now, no worry ever will
You are steady as a heartbeat, you are gentle as a breath
Heather, you are safe here, safer than a lullaby can say

[Bridge]
Sleep is only the house breathing slower around you now
Every creak and click is just the dark one saying goodnight somehow

[Chorus]
Heather, Heather, rest your head and let the night grow still
Nothing here will wake you now, no worry ever will
You are steady as a heartbeat, you are gentle as a breath
Heather, you are safe here, safer than a lullaby can say

[Outro]
Somewhere down the hall the clock will keep its gentle time
You can rest inside its rhythm, you are safe and you are mine
