Steam Rising Slow
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
Steam is rising slow above the bowl beside your bed
Curling up so soft and quiet, drifting overhead
The whole house has gone as still as water at the brim
Everything is settling gently, just like you, Ibrahim

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, the warmth is holding you inside its arms
Nothing in the dark tonight will bring you any harm
Let the hush come nearer now and fold around you calm

[Chorus]
Ibrahim, the night is soft and it is holding you so gentle
Sleep is only steam that rises, never far and never dim
Rest your head, the world can wait until the morning finds you
You are safe, you are so loved tonight, Ibrahim

[Verse 2]
The spoon lies still and quiet where the warmth has settled deep
Nothing here will hurry you, there is no rush to sleep
Every little sound tonight is soft around the rim
Drifting low and slow like breath, just like you, Ibrahim

[Chorus]
Ibrahim, the night is soft and it is holding you so gentle
Sleep is only steam that rises, never far and never dim
Rest your head, the world can wait until the morning finds you
You are safe, you are so loved tonight, Ibrahim

[Bridge]
Somewhere warm a light is dimming low and slow like this
Somewhere near, the dark is turning into rest and stillness
You are held here, closer than the quiet ever seems

[Chorus]
Ibrahim, the night is soft and it is holding you so gentle
Sleep is only steam that rises, never far and never dim
Rest your head, the world can wait until the morning finds you
You are safe, you are so loved tonight, Ibrahim

[Outro]
The steam has gone to nothing but the warmth is staying near
Sleep now, you are held, and morning always meets you here
