Silver and Slow
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a drawer settles soft with a slow silver sound
Spoons lean together while the whole house winds down
Nothing tonight needs to hurry or turn
You are the calm that the dark wraps around

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the hush come and hold you
Every small clatter is a lullaby told you
So let the night gather you in

[Chorus]
Muriel, the quiet is humming your name
Soft as a spoon settling, easy and tame
Nothing can touch you, nothing can harm
Muriel, sleep without any blame

[Verse 2]
The kitchen breathes slower, the whole world turns kind
Every small sound is just love left behind
You do not need to carry the dark
Sleep is a blanket that only you find

[Bridge]
Rest now, the night has no sharp edges near you
Only the hush of the ones who stay near you

[Chorus]
Muriel, the quiet is humming your name
Soft as a spoon settling, easy and tame
Nothing can touch you, nothing can harm
Muriel, sleep without any blame

[Outro]
Somewhere the spoons have gone still in the drawer
Sleep now, you're loved, and you're needed no more
