Watching Over You, Mabel
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
The house breathes slow around you, every corner standing guard
brass and quiet metal keeping watch, patient on the wall
nothing here will stir tonight, nothing here will fall
you are held inside this stillness, safest of them all

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, the dark is gentle, nothing here to fear
every hush within this room was gathered for you, dear
so let the weight of sleep come find you softly here

[Chorus]
Mabel, sleep is calling soft and low
the whole wide house is holding steady, watching as you go
Mabel, dream beneath this quiet sky
you are so beloved, little one, and safe as night rolls by

[Verse 2]
Up above you, something solid guards the ceiling's edge
like a promise painted quiet, like a steady pledge
nothing sharp and nothing sudden ever comes this way
only calm and only comfort, only rest and stay

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, the dark is gentle, nothing here to fear
every hush within this room was gathered for you, dear
so let the weight of sleep come find you softly here

[Chorus]
Mabel, sleep is calling soft and low
the whole wide house is holding steady, watching as you go
Mabel, dream beneath this quiet sky
you are so beloved, little one, and safe as night rolls by

[Bridge]
Every wall was built to keep you, every hinge to hold you near
nothing moves without your knowing, nothing waits to bring you fear
you are the reason this whole quiet house stands still

[Chorus]
Mabel, sleep is calling soft and low
the whole wide house is holding steady, watching as you go
Mabel, dream beneath this quiet sky
you are so beloved, little one, and safe as night rolls by

[Outro]
The house will breathe here softly long after you have gone to sleep
and every quiet corner still will keep you safe to keep
