Slow Silver Sink
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a silver tap is dripping soft and slow tonight
Into a dry white sink that holds the hush so near
Every small sound in this house is turning down its light
And you are the warmest thing that I can feel right here

[Pre-chorus]
The dark is only a blanket folding itself around the room
Nothing is waiting, nothing is watching, there is only you and the quiet
Close your eyes now, let the whole wide night lean closer

[Chorus]
Khadija, the water falls so gently it could be a lullaby
Sleep is a small boat and you are safe inside it
Nadia never dreamed a calm as deep as this one
Khadija, my quiet one, let the whole night just glide it

[Verse 2]
The porcelain holds the last light like it's keeping it just for you
Every drop that falls is soft as breath against the ear
Nothing in this house is asking anything of you tonight
So let your small hands rest, there's nothing you should fear

[Bridge]
I will keep the hours while you drift so far away
Warm and low, the whole world waiting till the day

[Chorus]
Khadija, the water falls so gently it could be a lullaby
Sleep is a small boat and you are safe inside it
Nadia never dreamed a calm as deep as this one
Khadija, my quiet one, let the whole night just glide it

[Outro]
The tap has stilled, the sink is dry and quiet now
And you are sleeping soft as silver, safe somehow
