Steam and Stillness
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
Warm water curls into steam and drifts up past the door
Softly the hallway light hums low along the floor
You are wrapped up snug where the quiet starts to grow
Little Joanne, safe in the glow you understand

[Pre-chorus]
Now the steam has settled soft and the night leans in to stay
Every worry of the day has quietly slipped away
Close your eyes and let it carry you

[Chorus]
Joanne, my love, the dark is only a gentle land
Nothing here can touch you, nothing here is grand
Sleep is a warm hand resting light upon your span
Joanne, hush now, this is where you understand

[Verse 2]
Steam still rises soft where the bathwater used to swirl
Wrapped in towels warm you are the calmest little pearl
Breathe in slow, let go of everything you began
Rest here now beneath a sky you understand

[Chorus]
Joanne, my love, the dark is only a gentle land
Nothing here can touch you, nothing here is grand
Sleep is a warm hand resting light upon your span
Joanne, hush now, this is where you understand

[Bridge]
Hold on to nothing but the hush around your head
Let every breath grow slower as you drift toward your bed

[Chorus]
Joanne, my love, the dark is only a gentle land
Nothing here can touch you, nothing here is grand
Sleep is a warm hand resting light upon your span
Joanne, hush now, this is where you understand

[Outro]
The steam has faded soft into the quiet of the hall
Sleep now, Joanne, you are held through it all
