Moonlight on the Bowl
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
Moonlight finds the bowl and rests there soft and slow
I carry you past it while the whole house breathes
Nothing needs to hurry now, no place we have to go
Only you, this quiet, and the calm the darkness leaves

[Chorus]
Close your eyes now, Pete, the night is warm and deep
Every corner of this house is holding you asleep
Pete, my love, the world can wait outside the door
You are held, you are safe, you are worth loving more

[Verse 2]
The kitchen settles into shadow, gentle and unhurried
You are wrapped in blankets softer than the falling dark
I watch the silver light lie still on something round and quiet
And think of how you carry brightness like a spark

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere past the window the whole wide night is turning
Slow and low, the hours are learning how to fall
Hush now, little one, there is nothing you are missing

[Chorus]
Close your eyes now, Pete, the night is warm and deep
Every corner of this house is holding you asleep
Pete, my love, the world can wait outside the door
You are held, you are safe, you are worth loving more

[Bridge]
Rain is counting time against the glass so gently
Piano notes are falling soft as breath can be
You are the reason this whole house feels like shelter

[Chorus]
Close your eyes now, Pete, the night is warm and deep
Every corner of this house is holding you asleep
Pete, my love, the world can wait outside the door
You are held, you are safe, you are worth loving more

[Outro]
The moon still finds that bowl and leaves it gleaming quiet
Sleep now, Pete, you are the light that this house keeps
