Slow as the Water Falls
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a drop is counting the hours down to dawn
You hear it fall so softly you're already half gone
Each little sound is smaller than a breath can be
That is how quiet the whole wide night will let you be

[Chorus]
Lilian, Lilian, close your eyes now, love is near
Nothing in this house tonight has any need for fear
You are the calm that even silence can't outgrow
Lilian, you're held as gently as the water's slow

[Verse 2]
Rest your small hand open like a cup beneath the light
Let every worry empty out and drain into the night
You don't have to catch a single drop that falls tonight
Just let it go the way the dark lets go of light

[Pre-chorus]
Feel how the dark leans down to hum a note so low
Nothing is rushing, nothing here will ever hurry so
Just one more breath before the quiet starts to glow

[Chorus]
Lilian, Lilian, close your eyes now, love is near
Nothing in this house tonight has any need for fear
You are the calm that even silence can't outgrow
Lilian, you're held as gently as the water's slow

[Bridge]
Sleep comes in like water finding its own quiet way
Filling up the small dark hours till they hold till day
You are never something loved by chance or on a whim

[Chorus]
Lilian, Lilian, close your eyes now, love is near
Nothing in this house tonight has any need for fear
You are the calm that even silence can't outgrow
Lilian, you're held as gently as the water's slow

[Outro]
Somewhere that same slow drop has finally come to rest
Sleep now, Lilian, you are held, you are the best
