Foam on the Shore
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
Softly the water is folding its white foam over stone
Calling you gently to rest as the daylight fades away
You are the reason this quiet old harbour feels like home
Nothing can trouble you now as the evening turns to grey

[Pre-chorus]
Far off a foghorn is humming its slow and steady song
Wrapping the dark like a blanket to carry you along
Close up your eyes now, my love, and let the tide grow strong

[Chorus]
Paula, the night is holding you soft and holding you near
Sleep finds you easy tonight with nothing at all to fear
Rest now, sweet Paula, the water is calling you clear
Everyone loves you, my darling, and always will, my dear

[Verse 2]
Down where the pebbles are smoothed by years and years of the sea
You are the warmth that outshines every star in the sky
Hushed are the waves as they murmur so quietly
Close is the harbour that keeps you, and close am I

[Chorus]
Paula, the night is holding you soft and holding you near
Sleep finds you easy tonight with nothing at all to fear
Rest now, sweet Paula, the water is calling you clear
Everyone loves you, my darling, and always will, my dear

[Bridge]
Even the boats have come in now to rest where it's still
You are the light that no darkness could ever quite fill

[Chorus]
Paula, the night is holding you soft and holding you near
Sleep finds you easy tonight with nothing at all to fear
Rest now, sweet Paula, the water is calling you clear
Everyone loves you, my darling, and always will, my dear

[Outro]
Let the last of the foam settle soft on the shore
You are held here forever, and loved evermore
