Slow Drop, Soft Glow
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a tap is letting go of one slow silver bead
Falling so gently into metal, taking all the time it needs
There is no hurry anywhere tonight, not one single thing
So let that quiet dripping be the calm that you can bring

[Pre-chorus]
The house breathes slower now, the dark has settled soft and deep
Every small sound in the world is turning into sleep
Close your eyes and drift along to where the still things go

[Chorus]
Hugo, Hugo, hear the water's slow and steady glow
Drop by drop it hums you somewhere warm and safe below
You are held here closer than the night could ever know
Hugo, sleep is coming gentle, soft and true and slow

[Verse 2]
Every drop that falls is counting down to morning light
Nothing in this room can touch you, nothing in the night
You are wrapped in something quieter than any word can say
Let the small and steady dripping carry you away

[Bridge]
Rest now, the bucket fills so slow, so sure
There is nothing you need chase and nothing to endure

[Chorus]
Hugo, Hugo, hear the water's slow and steady glow
Drop by drop it hums you somewhere warm and safe below
You are held here closer than the night could ever know
Hugo, sleep is coming gentle, soft and true and slow

[Outro]
Somewhere still that tap is dripping, soft as breath below
Sleep now, you are safe here, Hugo, and the night is slow
