Foam at the Tide Line
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
A small pebble rolls back down the grey and quiet gravel
and the foam lies down soft where the water used to be
so let all of your worry roll away like the same pebble
and rest here beside me, safe as anyone could be

[Pre-chorus]
The tide has stopped pulling, it only wants to stay now
the night has grown gentle and it's leaning in to hold you
so close your eyes slowly, let the dark come in easy

[Chorus]
Maria, the water has settled and so can you
hush now, my dear one, there's nothing left to chase
every wave that goes out comes home again to you
Maria, you're held here, you're safe in this place

[Verse 2]
The moon leans its light on the edge of the shore tonight
and nothing out there is asking anything of you
sleep is a shoreline where every small stone lies quiet
and I will stay near you the whole night through

[Pre-chorus]
The tide has stopped pulling, it only wants to stay now
the night has grown gentle and it's leaning in to hold you
so close your eyes slowly, let the dark come in easy

[Chorus]
Maria, the water has settled and so can you
hush now, my dear one, there's nothing left to chase
every wave that goes out comes home again to you
Maria, you're held here, you're safe in this place

[Bridge]
Whatever the day carried, let it slip beneath the foam
you are so loved, and love does not have to hurry
rest now, the whole dark room is only breathing round you

[Chorus]
Maria, the water has settled and so can you
hush now, my dear one, there's nothing left to chase
every wave that goes out comes home again to you
Maria, you're held here, you're safe in this place

[Outro]
The pebble lies still now where the grey gravel meets the water
sleep, my Maria, sleep, the night is holding you
