Soft Click of the Dark
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a buckle clicks soft against the seat in the dark
and the whole night folds itself down to just this small sound
you are held here so gently, nothing sharp, nothing loud
safe in the hush where the quiet wraps all the way round

[Pre-chorus]
Every road you have travelled has led back to this bed
every worry can wait now, there is nowhere to be
so let your small breath grow slower, let your eyes finally rest

[Chorus]
Joyce, my love, close your eyes now, let the night carry you
rest in the hum of the rain and the piano so low
you are the calm after travelling, the click before rest
Joyce, you are held, and that's all you need know

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a door closes quiet and the world settles in
warmth gathers close like a blanket that nobody can see
stars have already started their slow watch above you
and sleep is a shore that is waiting so patiently

[Chorus]
Joyce, my love, close your eyes now, let the night carry you
rest in the hum of the rain and the piano so low
you are the calm after travelling, the click before rest
Joyce, you are held, and that's all you need know

[Bridge]
No further to go now, no reason to wake
just the soft weight of stillness for your own sweet sake
you are the quiet the whole loud day was leading to

[Chorus]
Joyce, my love, close your eyes now, let the night carry you
rest in the hum of the rain and the piano so low
you are the calm after travelling, the click before rest
Joyce, you are held, and that's all you need know

[Outro]
Somewhere that small click still echoes, soft in the dark
and you drift off held, exactly as safe as you are
