Down the Drain, Off to Sleep
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
Warm water is easing away down the white little basin
Every small drop finds its own gentle way to begin
You are dry now, wrapped up, and the night waits so quiet
Nothing left in the world but this soft steady grin

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, the water has gone where it goes
Let the hush of the room settle down to your toes
Sleep is coming to find you, so soft and so slow

[Chorus]
Quinn, my Quinn, let the whole day drain away
Nothing to carry, nothing to win or to weigh
Rest here beside me where the dark is thin
Quinn, you are held here, quiet and safe, my Quinn

[Verse 2]
Somewhere the last little droplet slips down and is gone now
Taking the noise of the day with it, thin as a pin
You keep the warmth of it, curled in your blanket
Nothing can follow you here, not even the wind

[Chorus]
Quinn, my Quinn, let the whole day drain away
Nothing to carry, nothing to win or to weigh
Rest here beside me where the dark is thin
Quinn, you are held here, quiet and safe, my Quinn

[Bridge]
Sleep like the last warm drop finding its way home
Slow, and unhurried, with nowhere else to be

[Chorus]
Quinn, my Quinn, let the whole day drain away
Nothing to carry, nothing to win or to weigh
Rest here beside me where the dark is thin
Quinn, you are held here, quiet and safe, my Quinn

[Outro]
The basin is empty now, and the whole house is still
Sleep on, little Quinn, you are safe on the sill
