Little Cups of Steam
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
Little cups are turning slow on water warm as breath
Soap bubbles rise and settle without a sound at all
Nothing in this room tonight is hurried or unkind
You are held here safely, waiting for the dark to fall

[Pre-chorus]
Steam is climbing gently past the window to the stars
Everything is softer now, the whole wide house is still
Close your eyes and drift with me, there's nowhere else to be

[Chorus]
Laurie, sleep is calling soft and low
Rest inside the calm that we have made
You're the warmest light this house will know
Laurie, let the quiet be your shade

[Verse 2]
Bubbles pop so quietly you'd hardly hear them go
Water holds the little cups the way my arms hold you
Nothing has to hurry here, no reason to be far
Sleep will find you gently just the way the still things do

[Chorus]
Laurie, sleep is calling soft and low
Rest inside the calm that we have made
You're the warmest light this house will know
Laurie, let the quiet be your shade

[Bridge]
Every small thing settles when the night grows deep and kind
Rest now, you are loved beyond what words can ever hold

[Chorus]
Laurie, sleep is calling soft and low
Rest inside the calm that we have made
You're the warmest light this house will know
Laurie, let the quiet be your shade

[Outro]
Somewhere still the little cups are turning soft and slow
Sleep now, you are safe here, and I won't let you go
