Silver and Slow
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
Somewhere in the dark a tap is letting go its silver drops
Falling one by one so slowly that the falling never stops
Listen how the quiet holds them soft before they land
You are held that same way too, all the worry drops away

[Pre-chorus]
The water finds its rhythm and it never seems to rush
Everything tonight can wait until the morning hush
So let your eyes grow heavy as the house breathes low and long

[Chorus]
Maisie, the night is wrapping softly all around your bed
Nothing needs an answer now, no thoughts to chase or dread
Close your eyes, my darling, let the hours drift and sway
Maisie, you are safe here till the coming of the day

[Verse 2]
The basin holds each falling drop as gently as a hand
Never once in worry, never rushing to demand
Some things move so slowly that they teach the heart to rest
And you are loved that slowly, without hurry, without test

[Pre-chorus]
The water finds its rhythm and it never seems to rush
Everything tonight can wait until the morning hush
So let your eyes grow heavy as the house breathes low and long

[Chorus]
Maisie, the night is wrapping softly all around your bed
Nothing needs an answer now, no thoughts to chase or dread
Close your eyes, my darling, let the hours drift and sway
Maisie, you are safe here till the coming of the day

[Bridge]
Every drop that falls tonight has somewhere soft to land
And so do you, forever, right here within this quiet hand

[Chorus]
Maisie, the night is wrapping softly all around your bed
Nothing needs an answer now, no thoughts to chase or dread
Close your eyes, my darling, let the hours drift and sway
Maisie, you are safe here till the coming of the day

[Outro]
Somewhere the tap is quiet now, its silver drops all still
Sleep on, my Maisie, dream as slow and soft as you will
