White Foam, Slow Sand
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
White foam is sliding slowly over the dark, quiet sand
gulls are calling softly somewhere far along the shore
close your eyes now, let the tide carry off the day
you are the one I am watching over, nothing more

[Chorus]
Mabel, Mabel, rest your head down low
the dark is only water, and it moves so slow
wrapped up warm and steady, safe in every fold
you are held here gently, Mabel, close and whole

[Verse 2]
Somewhere out past the water the gulls are going quiet
the night folds over softly like a blanket pulled up high
nothing needs to happen, nothing needs your eyes open
just this breath, just this warmth, just this soft goodnight

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the tide has nowhere else to be tonight
it only wants to reach you, then to fall away again
so let your small hands loosen, let your shoulders settle down

[Chorus]
Mabel, Mabel, rest your head down low
the dark is only water, and it moves so slow
wrapped up warm and steady, safe in every fold
you are held here gently, Mabel, close and whole

[Bridge]
Every wave that reaches you will leave you just the same
soft, and warm, and certain, wrapped in your own name

[Chorus]
Mabel, Mabel, rest your head down low
the dark is only water, and it moves so slow
wrapped up warm and steady, safe in every fold
you are held here gently, Mabel, close and whole

[Outro]
Somewhere the foam is settling soft along the sand
sleep now, you are certain, held in someone's hand
