Soft Static, Slow Waltz
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
There's a soft old hiss from the speaker on the sideboard
Humming low like the house is breathing slow with you
Every little sound in this room is turning gentle
Curling round the corners the way warm shadows do

[Chorus]
Leah, Leah, the night is holding steady
Nothing here will hurry you, nothing pulls away
Close your eyes and drift on the hush of something steady
You are so deeply loved at the ending of this day

[Verse 2]
The pine is catching light from a lamp that's nearly sleeping
Soft as the hush that sits beneath every lullaby
Nothing in this room has anywhere to be tonight
Only you, only rest, only breath easing by

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere the static hums its slow, forgiving idea
Telling you gently that you're allowed to let go
Sleep is only love with the lights turned down low

[Chorus]
Leah, Leah, the night is holding steady
Nothing here will hurry you, nothing pulls away
Close your eyes and drift on the hush of something steady
You are so deeply loved at the ending of this day

[Bridge]
Rock slow, rock slow, like the chair beneath us knows you
Nothing sharp can reach you here, nothing loud or grey
Just the hush, just the warmth, just the dark that holds you gently
Carrying you softly to wherever good dreams stay

[Chorus]
Leah, Leah, the night is holding steady
Nothing here will hurry you, nothing pulls away
Close your eyes and drift on the hush of something steady
You are so deeply loved at the ending of this day

[Outro]
The speaker hums its quiet static, soft as breathing
Sleep now, Leah, safe within this gentle sound
