Steam and Stars
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
Steam is rising soft and slow against the dark tiled wall
and the little duck is floating right beside the drain
you are wrapped up warm already, safe before you fall
into every gentle dream that waits to ease your pain

[Pre-chorus]
The water's gone but warmth is staying close upon your skin
the whole wide house is quiet now and settling with you
so let the hush come nearer and just breathe it slowly in

[Chorus]
Lucy, you are held so close tonight
nothing here can ever cause you harm
you are loved beyond the reach of light
sleeping safe inside my steady arm

[Verse 2]
Every candle in the hallway has been turned down low for you
the whole night folds around you like a blanket, soft and deep
and the stars outside are waiting just to watch the dark go through
standing guard while you go drifting gently into sleep

[Pre-chorus]
The water's gone but warmth is staying close upon your skin
the whole wide house is quiet now and settling with you
so let the hush come nearer and just breathe it slowly in

[Chorus]
Lucy, you are held so close tonight
nothing here can ever cause you harm
you are loved beyond the reach of light
sleeping safe inside my steady arm

[Bridge]
Close your eyes and let the small world quiet down around you
there is nothing you need carry through the long and easy dark

[Chorus]
Lucy, you are held so close tonight
nothing here can ever cause you harm
you are loved beyond the reach of light
sleeping safe inside my steady arm

[Outro]
The duck will still be waiting when the morning comes up bright
sleep now, little Lucy, you are safe within the night
