Copper and Rain
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Somewhere the water is falling soft into copper and steel
Slow as a heartbeat that learned how to keep and to stay
You are the warmth that the whole tired house seems to feel
Sleep is just love with the edges all softened away

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the dripping has slowed to a hush of its own
Nothing tonight has to hurry or ask to be known
The dark isn't empty while you are so gently at home

[Chorus]
Lainey, the night keeps you closer than rain keeps the ground
Soft as the echo that copper pans hold in a row
You are the quiet no worry has ever quite found
Lainey, I'll stay while the slow water learns how to go

[Verse 2]
The pans hang above like a row of small patient moons
Waiting for morning to give them a reason to shine
But you don't have to wait to be loved in this room
You were the warmth here before I could put it in lines

[Bridge]
Every slow drop finds its way home to the sink
Every small breath that you take finds its way home to me

[Chorus]
Lainey, the night keeps you closer than rain keeps the ground
Soft as the echo that copper pans hold in a row
You are the quiet no worry has ever quite found
Lainey, I'll stay while the slow water learns how to go

[Outro]
The water has stopped and the copper is settling to rest
Sleep now, you're held, you were always the warmth in this house
