Steam and Rest
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
The steam is rising slow above the water by the brass tap
Curling up so softly like it's tired and wants to nap
Warm and hushed, the whole wide room is holding still for you
Everything tonight has settled into one long, gentle wrap

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the warmth of this quiet minute stay
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever lead you far away
Let the last light of the day just softly drift and sway

[Chorus]
Julia, my love, the night is holding you so near
Every little breath you take is safe and clear
You are the calmest song this house has ever known
Julia, there is nothing in this dark to fear

[Verse 2]
The water settles quiet now, the ripples learning to be still
Somewhere past the window sleepy stars begin to spill
You are wrapped in something warmer than a blanket ever could be
Safe inside the hush that only bedtime seems to fill

[Chorus]
Julia, my love, the night is holding you so near
Every little breath you take is safe and clear
You are the calmest song this house has ever known
Julia, there is nothing in this dark to fear

[Bridge]
Sleep is just a small boat drifting easy on the tide
Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to hide
You can let the whole wide world go quiet at your side

[Chorus]
Julia, my love, the night is holding you so near
Every little breath you take is safe and clear
You are the calmest song this house has ever known
Julia, there is nothing in this dark to fear

[Outro]
The steam has settled now to nothing but a gentle hush
Sleep has found you softly, and the whole house feels the hush
