Slow Shadows, Sherry
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
Watch the soft grey shapes go sliding slowly over the wall
they move so quiet, they never make a single sound
the window frame is painting shadows onto the plaster
and you are the calmest thing that I have found

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere past the curtain the whole wide world is turning
but nothing out there matters more than you right here
so let your breathing follow the shadows as they wander

[Chorus]
Sherry, the night is holding you so gently now
the dark is only softness, nothing sharp or wary
close your eyes and drift to where the quiet grows
you are so loved, my little Sherry

[Verse 2]
The wardrobe stands there patient in the corner of the room
while shadows climb its edges then slip quietly away
you do not need to watch them, you can let them wander
I will still be near you at the ending of the day

[Chorus]
Sherry, the night is holding you so gently now
the dark is only softness, nothing sharp or wary
close your eyes and drift to where the quiet grows
you are so loved, my little Sherry

[Bridge]
Every little shadow is only light at rest
held inside this room where you are safest, you are best

[Chorus]
Sherry, the night is holding you so gently now
the dark is only softness, nothing sharp or wary
close your eyes and drift to where the quiet grows
you are so loved, my little Sherry

[Outro]
The shadows keep on drifting slowly over the wall
and you are sleeping softly, held above them all
