Slow Light Over Water
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
A slow yellow beam moves quietly over the water tonight
tracing the dark with such patient and tender light
warm in your room while the waves settle low
safe in this hush where the soft hours go

[Chorus]
Hudson, my Hudson, the tide has grown still and kind
rest now and let all your worries unwind
you are the harbour this light always finds
held here so gently, so deep in my mind

[Verse 2]
Somewhere the water is turning to glass in the cove
wrapped in the calm that this quiet night wove
close your eyes softly, let dreaming begin
warmth all around you, both out and within

[Pre-chorus]
Sleep is a shoreline where nothing can harm you
the dark only holds you, it never will storm you
closer and closer the hush starts to call you

[Chorus]
Hudson, my Hudson, the tide has grown still and kind
rest now and let all your worries unwind
you are the harbour this light always finds
held here so gently, so deep in my mind

[Bridge]
Every beam that sweeps low over black, quiet water
turns for you only, my own steady starter
nothing can touch you while this light keeps on turning

[Chorus]
Hudson, my Hudson, the tide has grown still and kind
rest now and let all your worries unwind
you are the harbour this light always finds
held here so gently, so deep in my mind

[Outro]
The beam swings on slowly past the dark, sleeping water
and you drift off safely, my own quiet harbour
