White Foam on the Stones
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
Far off the white foam slides across the dark stones so slow
and something in that hush says all is well below
the night has pulled its blanket wide across the sea and shore
so let your busy little hands not carry you anymore

[Pre-chorus]
Listen how the water settles soft against the sand
the whole wide night is holding you so gently in its hand
and closer than that far off tide, there's someone here to stay

[Chorus]
Steve, my love, the dark won't ever ask too much of you
close your eyes and let the quiet carry what is true
Steve, the stars have all agreed to watch you while you sleep
nothing in this soft night comes to wake you or to keep

[Verse 2]
The foam keeps folding over stones it's touched a thousand times
and never once has hurried through its slow and easy rhymes
so let your breathing find that same unbothered kind of pace
there's nowhere you need reach tonight, no far off moving place

[Chorus]
Steve, my love, the dark won't ever ask too much of you
close your eyes and let the quiet carry what is true
Steve, the stars have all agreed to watch you while you sleep
nothing in this soft night comes to wake you or to keep

[Bridge]
Every wave goes out and always finds its way back home
just like you were never truly meant to rest alone
warm and low the night wraps round you soft as it can weave

[Chorus]
Steve, my love, the dark won't ever ask too much of you
close your eyes and let the quiet carry what is true
Steve, the stars have all agreed to watch you while you sleep
nothing in this soft night comes to wake you or to keep

[Outro]
Somewhere far the foam still slides across those dark quiet stones
and here you rest as safe and held as anyone has known
