White Foam on the Sand
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
Somewhere the water is folding soft over the sand tonight
letting the day go under, easy and slow and right
you are the calm at the edge where the loud waves land
held in the hush that follows them onto land

[Chorus]
Marilyn, close your eyes now, let the dark come round
the softest thing in all the world is your sleeping sound
rest here, Marilyn, nothing can touch you now
the whole night bends down gently to your brow

[Verse 2]
Little light on the water, dim and far and true
stays just to watch quietly over you
every wave that reaches shore forgets itself in white
just like you're forgetting the whole day into night

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the tide has nowhere else to be
nothing is asked of you, nothing you can't set free
sleep is coming closer, soft as it can come

[Chorus]
Marilyn, close your eyes now, let the dark come round
the softest thing in all the world is your sleeping sound
rest here, Marilyn, nothing can touch you now
the whole night bends down gently to your brow

[Bridge]
Foam goes quiet on the sand, and so do you
fading into calm the way the sky turns blue
nothing in the dark tonight will ask you to be strong

[Chorus]
Marilyn, close your eyes now, let the dark come round
the softest thing in all the world is your sleeping sound
rest here, Marilyn, nothing can touch you now
the whole night bends down gently to your brow

[Outro]
Somewhere the water is folding softly, letting go
sleep the same way, Marilyn, easy and slow
