Warm Water Still
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
The sponge has gone quiet on the edge of the tub
Resting the way you are learning to rest
And the water still holds a little of the warmth
Wrapped soft around you like a favourite vest

[Pre-chorus]
The steam is fading slow into the ceiling
The house is settling into its hush
And something in me is watching you, waiting

[Chorus]
Juniper, the night has come to hold you gentle
Soft as the last warm drop upon the rim
Close your eyes now, let the hours listen
Nothing in this dark can trouble him

[Verse 2]
Your small breaths are slower than the dripping tap
Counting down the minutes into deep
And every worry of the day has drained away
Leaving only you, unhurried, into sleep

[Bridge]
I will stay here until the water's cold
I will stay until your breathing's low and slow

[Chorus]
Juniper, the night has come to hold you gentle
Soft as the last warm drop upon the rim
Close your eyes now, let the hours listen
Nothing in this dark can trouble him

[Outro]
The sponge still rests upon the white enamel edge
And you rest just as easy, safe and warm
