Silver on the Water
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
Somewhere the tide is folding soft and slow upon the sand
Carrying all its hush to lay it gently in your hand
Moonlight is pouring pale and thin across the sleepy shore
You are the calm that every quiet water understands

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the evening settle on your chest
Nothing tonight is asking anything of you but rest
Feel how the dark is turning softer, folding toward

[Chorus]
Stanley, the night is holding you the way the shore holds foam
Gentle as moonlight learning every stone that it calls home
Nobody needs to wander when they've somewhere warm to be
Stanley, you're already where you're loved and never far from

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a wave is losing all its noise against the rocks
Learning to be quiet as it settles and it stops
Nothing out there hurries, nothing out there needs to run
You can rest as easy as the water when it drops

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the evening settle on your chest
Nothing tonight is asking anything of you but rest
Feel how the dark is turning softer, folding toward

[Chorus]
Stanley, the night is holding you the way the shore holds foam
Gentle as moonlight learning every stone that it calls home
Nobody needs to wander when they've somewhere warm to be
Stanley, you're already where you're loved and never far from

[Bridge]
Every small thing settles when it's carried soft and slow
You were never meant to hold the weight of dark alone

[Chorus]
Stanley, the night is holding you the way the shore holds foam
Gentle as moonlight learning every stone that it calls home
Nobody needs to wander when they've somewhere warm to be
Stanley, you're already where you're loved and never far from

[Outro]
Somewhere the water is folding softly onto stone
Sleep now, you are held here, you were never on your own
