Slow the Moonlight Falls
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
Look how the dust turns slowly in that thin and silver beam
Drifting there so quietly with nowhere left to be
You are the softest, calmest thing I ever watched or dreamed
Small and warm beside me, closer than the quiet sea

[Pre-chorus]
The whole wide dark is holding still to let you settle down
Nothing needs to hurry now, no reason and no sound
Close your eyes and drift the way that light drifts through the town

[Chorus]
Maya, hush now, let the hours grow softer than a sigh
Sleep is only love that's learned to breathe and float and fly
Maya, you're the reason all this quiet reaches higher
Rest inside the warmth of it, my gentle little fire

[Verse 2]
Every little speck of light knows just when to let go
Floating up so slowly like it's in no rush at all
You can let your shoulders sink the way that soft things flow
Nothing here will hurry you, no reason and no call

[Pre-chorus]
The whole wide dark is holding still to let you settle down
Nothing needs to hurry now, no reason and no sound
Close your eyes and drift the way that light drifts through the town

[Chorus]
Maya, hush now, let the hours grow softer than a sigh
Sleep is only love that's learned to breathe and float and fly
Maya, you're the reason all this quiet reaches higher
Rest inside the warmth of it, my gentle little fire

[Bridge]
I will stay here watching over every breath you take
Long after all the light has settled soft and still

[Chorus]
Maya, hush now, let the hours grow softer than a sigh
Sleep is only love that's learned to breathe and float and fly
Maya, you're the reason all this quiet reaches higher
Rest inside the warmth of it, my gentle little fire

[Outro]
The last small speck of moonlight settles gently out of sight
Sleep now, love, and carry all its quiet into night
