Steve, the Clock Is Still
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
The clock behind the glass has counted out its final click
Its two small teeth have settled soft and slow
And every corner of this room is folded warm around you
There's nowhere in the world you need to go

[Pre-chorus]
The dark is only softness dressed in evening clothes tonight
No shadow here would ever dare to climb so high
So close your eyes and drift where all the quiet things reside

[Chorus]
Steve, my dear, the whole wide night is holding you so gently
Every star has leaned in close to watch you dream
You are safe as any harbour ever cradled in the moonlight
Steve, there's nothing here but calm and steady seams

[Verse 2]
The pendulum has stopped its swinging just to let you settle
Even time has slowed its steps to match your breath
And somewhere past the glass the whole night listens just for you
Wrapped in something softer than the dark could ever hold

[Chorus]
Steve, my dear, the whole wide night is holding you so gently
Every star has leaned in close to watch you dream
You are safe as any harbour ever cradled in the moonlight
Steve, there's nothing here but calm and steady seams

[Bridge]
Sleep is just a door that opens soft and lets you through
Nothing waits beyond it but the ones who love you true

[Chorus]
Steve, my dear, the whole wide night is holding you so gently
Every star has leaned in close to watch you dream
You are safe as any harbour ever cradled in the moonlight
Steve, there's nothing here but calm and steady seams

[Outro]
The glass has gone as still as breath, the small teeth quiet now
Sleep on, Steve, the whole night keeps you safe somehow
