Slow as Bubbles
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
The water's gone quiet now, still and warm around you
one small bubble rests upon the porcelain rim
waiting there so softly, taking its own sweet time
and nothing in this room has any reason to hurry you

[Chorus]
Koa, Koa, the night is soft and it holds you
close as any warm thing that ever told you
you are the calm this whole house leans upon
Koa, Koa, let the quiet enfold you

[Verse 2]
That bubble on the edge is taking its last slow breath
shining once, then gone, so gentle you'd miss it
but you are here still, warm beneath these blankets
and every soft thing tonight has come to bless you

[Pre-chorus]
Your eyes are getting heavy, and that is right and good
the whole wide house is settling, same as the water does
so let your small hands loosen, let sleep come find you now

[Chorus]
Koa, Koa, the night is soft and it holds you
close as any warm thing that ever told you
you are the calm this whole house leans upon
Koa, Koa, let the quiet enfold you

[Bridge]
Nothing has to happen now, nothing has to shine
you are loved exactly still, exactly quiet, exactly fine

[Chorus]
Koa, Koa, the night is soft and it holds you
close as any warm thing that ever told you
you are the calm this whole house leans upon
Koa, Koa, let the quiet enfold you

[Outro]
The last small bubble goes so gently, without any sound at all
and just as soft, and just as safe, may your whole night fall
