Smoke Going Home
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
Smoke is curling low and grey above the sleepy street tonight
Down it drifts and folds itself so gently out of sight
Soft as breath it settles where the tired fires glow
You are curling now like that, sinking into peaceful white

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let your busy little day go still and slow
Every worry you were holding starts to loosen, starts to go
Close your eyes and feel the warmth begin to grow

[Chorus]
Lily-Rose, the whole wide night is holding you so near
Nothing in the dark tonight has any need for fear
Every star above your bed was hung for you alone
Lily-Rose, you're safe inside the ones who love you here

[Verse 2]
Deep inside the chimney's dark the embers breathe and sigh
Nothing rushes, nothing hurries, no one wonders why
Warmth just settles into stillness, quiet as a bed
You can rest the very same way, no need to ask or try

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let your busy little day go still and slow
Every worry you were holding starts to loosen, starts to go
Close your eyes and feel the warmth begin to grow

[Chorus]
Lily-Rose, the whole wide night is holding you so near
Nothing in the dark tonight has any need for fear
Every star above your bed was hung for you alone
Lily-Rose, you're safe inside the ones who love you here

[Bridge]
Somewhere far the smoke keeps rising, slow and soft and low
You are held much closer than that gentle drifting glow

[Chorus]
Lily-Rose, the whole wide night is holding you so near
Nothing in the dark tonight has any need for fear
Every star above your bed was hung for you alone
Lily-Rose, you're safe inside the ones who love you here

[Outro]
Sleep now, let the smoke curl down and settle soft and slow
Lily-Rose, you're going home to dreams that love you so
