Foam on the Shingle
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
The grey sky keeps no moon to spare tonight
But sleep will find you well without its light
Far off the foam breaks soft on quiet stones
And here you rest inside my arms, held tight

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere the water hushes low and slow
Rocking the dark to something calm and kind
So let the tide outside just come and go

[Chorus]
Lilah, the night has nothing sharp for you
Lilah, I'll keep you warm till morning's near
Every soft wave that breaks was made for you
Sleep now, my love, there's nothing you should fear

[Verse 2]
No colour left to catch upon the shore
Just grey and hush and breath and nothing more
The shingle waits, it does not need to shine
To hold you close is all I'm wishing for

[Bridge]
Rest your small hands, let go of all the day
The tide will carry every worry far away

[Chorus]
Lilah, the night has nothing sharp for you
Lilah, I'll keep you warm till morning's near
Every soft wave that breaks was made for you
Sleep now, my love, there's nothing you should fear

[Outro]
Far off the foam still breaks on quiet stone
Sleep now, my love, you never rest alone
