Cooling Slow
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
Green cups are cooling soft upon the table now
waiting for morning like a patient friend
Somewhere a clock ticks low against the quiet wood
counting you gently to the day's soft end

[Chorus]
Rebecca, hush now, let the evening hold you
close as the warmth that lingers in the room
Nobody's rushing, no one's going to scold you
sleep soft, Rebecca, under this kind moon

[Verse 2]
Steam has long faded from the green cups by the wall
but something warmer stays here in your chest
Darkness comes kindly, wrapping round the little hall
and you are held the way you're loved the best

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing will wake you, nothing will come near
only the hush of what has always kept you
only the steady sound of someone here

[Chorus]
Rebecca, hush now, let the evening hold you
close as the warmth that lingers in the room
Nobody's rushing, no one's going to scold you
sleep soft, Rebecca, under this kind moon

[Bridge]
Time moves slower once the ticking fades away
and you are safe no matter what the hour

[Chorus]
Rebecca, hush now, let the evening hold you
close as the warmth that lingers in the room
Nobody's rushing, no one's going to scold you
sleep soft, Rebecca, under this kind moon

[Outro]
The cups sit cooling, quiet on the table still
and you sleep on, held safe until the light
