The Foam and the Glow
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
Somewhere the water is turning soft circles upon the sand
and even the dark cannot dim how gently it comes and goes
I hold that same hush and I carry it home in my hands
because it reminds me of you, and the calm that you hold

[Pre-chorus]
The night has gathered its quietest colours for you alone
every small light in the house has leaned in close to your bed
so let your breathing grow slow as the tide pulling home

[Chorus]
Hugo, the foam glows soft where the dark meets the shore
hush now, my Hugo, there's nothing you need to know
only that you are held, only that you are sure
sleep now and drift where the quiet tides go

[Verse 2]
You curl like the shoreline, soft edge where the wide world ends
your small breath is steady as waves that keep coming in
I watch how the warmth of you settles and slowly bends
the whole of my worry to something calm and thin

[Pre-chorus]
The night has gathered its quietest colours for you alone
every small light in the house has leaned in close to your bed
so let your breathing grow slow as the tide pulling home

[Chorus]
Hugo, the foam glows soft where the dark meets the shore
hush now, my Hugo, there's nothing you need to know
only that you are held, only that you are sure
sleep now and drift where the quiet tides go

[Bridge]
Nothing tonight can reach you, nothing can pull you far
the dark is only a blanket thrown soft across the shore
you are the calm at the centre of every quiet star

[Chorus]
Hugo, the foam glows soft where the dark meets the shore
hush now, my Hugo, there's nothing you need to know
only that you are held, only that you are sure
sleep now and drift where the quiet tides go

[Outro]
Somewhere the foam is still glowing, faint and low on the sand
and you are as safe as that light, held soft in my hand
