Warm Water, Little One
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Bubbles are popping soft on the warm porcelain rim
Water is humming low as it slips toward the drain
You watch it all from cosy arms, so calm and slow
Nothing tonight can touch you, little one so dim

[Pre-chorus]
Steam on the window fades as the evening settles deep
Quiet is folding round us like a blanket thick and slow
Close your eyes now, love, and drift on down to sleep

[Chorus]
Nancy, the night has come to hold you soft and near
Sleep now, my Nancy, there is nothing left to fear
Every small sound has gone to rest inside the wall
Nancy, I'm here beside you, always here

[Verse 2]
Drips fall gentle like a clock too tired to keep the time
Warmth still clings to your small hands like sunlight on a stone
Breathe out slow now, let the day go loose and let it climb
You are the softest thing this whole house has ever known

[Chorus]
Nancy, the night has come to hold you soft and near
Sleep now, my Nancy, there is nothing left to fear
Every small sound has gone to rest inside the wall
Nancy, I'm here beside you, always here

[Bridge]
Nothing in the dark can reach you where you lie
Every hush tonight was made to keep you safe and warm

[Chorus]
Nancy, the night has come to hold you soft and near
Sleep now, my Nancy, there is nothing left to fear
Every small sound has gone to rest inside the wall
Nancy, I'm here beside you, always here

[Outro]
Somewhere the last small bubble sighs and settles into rest
Sleep now, my Nancy, held here safe against my chest
