Little Batteries
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
Little yellow pieces rolling soft across the flannel red
Settling now like sleepy thoughts still tumbling round your head
Nothing in this room can hurt you, nothing needs to move
Everything is still and warm and waiting to be said

[Pre-chorus]
The lamp is low and every shadow's turned to friend tonight
Your breathing slows to match the hush that's settling the light
So close your eyes and drift where all the soft things go

[Chorus]
Nico, Nico, sleep is calling low and sweet
Somewhere warm and round like Rio, resting from your feet
You are held here, you are wanted, nothing less than whole
Drift away now, little Nico, let the night be slow

[Verse 2]
The little rolling shapes have found their place and gone to rest
Just like you will, curled up softly, tucked against my chest
No need to chase the day that's finished, let it go and rest
Sleep is just another game where you are always blessed

[Chorus]
Nico, Nico, sleep is calling low and sweet
Somewhere warm and round like Rio, resting from your feet
You are held here, you are wanted, nothing less than whole
Drift away now, little Nico, let the night be slow

[Bridge]
Every small thing finds its corner when the day is through
Every scattered piece of morning settles back to you
Rest inside the quiet that was always built for you

[Chorus]
Nico, Nico, sleep is calling low and sweet
Somewhere warm and round like Rio, resting from your feet
You are held here, you are wanted, nothing less than whole
Drift away now, little Nico, let the night be slow

[Outro]
The little pieces settle still upon the flannel red
Sleep now, Nico, safe and certain, in your quiet bed
