Slow the Water Falls
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a steel tap is letting the water go slow
Drop by drop into a bowl in the evening light
Everything softens the longer the quiet hours grow
And you are the calm at the centre of my night

[Pre-chorus]
Hear how the small sounds settle and slowly unwind
Feel how the warmth of this room holds you serene
Close your eyes now and let the whole world fall behind

[Chorus]
Kathleen, Kathleen, the dark is gentle and kind
Nothing can reach you, nothing has slipped in between
Sleep now and know you were always so loved, so entwined
Every soft hour was waiting to cradle Kathleen

[Verse 2]
The water keeps falling so easy, so light on the ear
Filling the bowl with a rhythm as old as the moon
Nothing tonight in this house has a reason for fear
And you are the reason I'm humming this tune

[Pre-chorus]
Hear how the small sounds settle and slowly unwind
Feel how the warmth of this room holds you serene
Close your eyes now and let the whole world fall behind

[Chorus]
Kathleen, Kathleen, the dark is gentle and kind
Nothing can reach you, nothing has slipped in between
Sleep now and know you were always so loved, so entwined
Every soft hour was waiting to cradle Kathleen

[Bridge]
Let every worry drip away and be gone
Let the hush of the night carry you until dawn

[Chorus]
Kathleen, Kathleen, the dark is gentle and kind
Nothing can reach you, nothing has slipped in between
Sleep now and know you were always so loved, so entwined
Every soft hour was waiting to cradle Kathleen

[Outro]
Somewhere that tap is still letting the water go slow
Sleep now, my Kathleen, and drift where the quiet notes go
