Slow as the Pendulum
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
Brass swings soft behind the wooden slats tonight
Counting down the hours till the morning light
Nothing in this house is asking you to hurry
Rest inside the hush and let it hold you tight

[Pre-chorus]
Every tick is small and slow and kind
Nothing in the dark is left to find
So let your breathing follow into sleep

[Chorus]
Lindsay, the night is wrapped around you soft and low
Sleep is a river and you're letting it just flow
Lindsay, kinsey, windsy, none of it matters now
Close your eyes, my dear one, let the whole world go

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a pendulum keeps its patient, easy pace
Nothing will rush you from this warm and quiet place
You are the reason the whole room feels this gentle
Sink a little deeper into linseed and lace

[Chorus]
Lindsay, the night is wrapped around you soft and low
Sleep is a river and you're letting it just flow
Lindsay, kinsey, windsy, none of it matters now
Close your eyes, my dear one, let the whole world go

[Bridge]
Every swing says stay, says rest, says you are safe
Nothing out there tonight can reach this space
Hold onto nothing but the sound of slow and steady

[Chorus]
Lindsay, the night is wrapped around you soft and low
Sleep is a river and you're letting it just flow
Lindsay, kinsey, windsy, none of it matters now
Close your eyes, my dear one, let the whole world go

[Outro]
Somewhere the brass still swings behind the wooden slats
You are already drifting, soft and safe and calm
