Slow Grey Light
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
Slow grey shadows are stretching across the plaster wall
The floorboards cool and settle while the whole house breathes out
Nothing in this room can ever let you fall
You are held here safely, there is nothing to doubt

[Pre-chorus]
The lamp goes low and the corners soften round you
Every sound outside is turning into hush
So let your eyes grow heavy, let the day slow down now

[Chorus]
Milo, the dark is only a blanket pulled up slow
Rest your small hands open, let the worry go
Nothing can reach you, Milo, nowhere you need to go
Sleep is a warm boat rocking, easy and low

[Verse 2]
The window holds the last light like a cup holds water still
You do not need to watch it, you can let it fade
I will stay right here while the evening has its will
Nothing tonight will ask you to be brave or afraid

[Bridge]
Every shadow here has only come to keep you company
Nothing moves that isn't gentle, nothing stirs that means you harm

[Chorus]
Milo, the dark is only a blanket pulled up slow
Rest your small hands open, let the worry go
Nothing can reach you, Milo, nowhere you need to go
Sleep is a warm boat rocking, easy and low

[Outro]
The plaster keeps its shadows soft and slow across the wall
And you are already drifting, safe from any fall
