Cooling Slow
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a mug sits cooling by the bread box in the dark
Steam has stopped rising, the kitchen has grown still
You are the warmth that lingers long after the day departs
Close your eyes now, let the quiet have its fill

[Chorus]
Marco, Marco, hush now, let the night be kind
Sleep is a blanket woven just for you
Marco, rest easy, leave the waking world behind
Nothing can touch you, the whole dark stays true

[Verse 2]
Somebody left that blue mug standing quiet on the shelf
Nobody minds, for morning comes again soon
You are remembered even in the smallest hush of things
Held in the calm of this slow rising moon

[Pre-chorus]
Every small sound in the house has gone to rest
The clock ticks softer now, the dark leans near
So let your breathing find the rhythm that is best

[Chorus]
Marco, Marco, hush now, let the night be kind
Sleep is a blanket woven just for you
Marco, rest easy, leave the waking world behind
Nothing can touch you, the whole dark stays true

[Bridge]
No need to hold on to a single worry now
You are safe as anything ever was or will be

[Chorus]
Marco, Marco, hush now, let the night be kind
Sleep is a blanket woven just for you
Marco, rest easy, leave the waking world behind
Nothing can touch you, the whole dark stays true

[Outro]
That mug will still be waiting, cool and blue, when morning wakes
You are loved through every hour the darkness takes
