Karen, Rest Now
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
The grey pebble rolls back gently as the water leaves the shore
Soft and slow, it settles down and does not need the wave anymore
So you can rest here, wrapped in warmth, with nothing left to chase
Every worry drifts away and leaves this quiet, gentle place

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, the night is soft, it holds you safe and near
Nothing sharp and nothing loud, no reason left for fear
Just the hush that carries you toward the sleep that's waiting here

[Chorus]
Karen, you are held so close tonight
Wrapped in warmth beneath the fading light
Karen, you are cared for, you are known
Never once left drifting on your own

[Verse 2]
The water pulls away so slow, it leaves no mark upon the sand
Only calm remains behind, only quiet, only land
You are steady as the shore that never has to move or roam
Safe and certain, always here, this gentle dark your home

[Bridge]
Let the tide keep turning soft outside while you lie still
Nothing here can hurry you, no clock, no far off hill

[Chorus]
Karen, you are held so close tonight
Wrapped in warmth beneath the fading light
Karen, you are cared for, you are known
Never once left drifting on your own

[Outro]
The pebble rests where the water leaves it, calm upon the shore
Sleep now, Karen, you are safe, and loved, and nothing more
