Slowly Turning
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
The blades above you turn so slowly through the dim and quiet air
Painting soft grey ribbons drifting over pillows and your hair
Nothing here will hurry, nothing here will ever rush
And you are held here gently in the hush

[Pre-chorus]
Every shadow passing over knows to move so soft and slow
Watching how the warm light settles, watching how you glow
So let your breathing follow, let it settle deep and low

[Chorus]
Nansi, close your eyes now, let the turning world go still
Nothing chancy waits to find you, nothing ever will
Sleep is just a soft room where the quiet loves to stay
Nansi, drift away

[Verse 2]
The wallpaper is holding all the colours of the dusk
Folding into shadows like a slow and gentle husk
Somewhere past the ceiling stars are turning just the same
And you are safe beneath them, always safe within this frame

[Bridge]
Every circle that the darkness makes above your head
Is only night deciding you are safe here in this bed

[Chorus]
Nansi, close your eyes now, let the turning world go still
Nothing chancy waits to find you, nothing ever will
Sleep is just a soft room where the quiet loves to stay
Nansi, drift away

[Outro]
The blades keep turning softly long after you have gone to sleep
And love keeps turning with them, quiet, steady, yours to keep
