Beside Me Tonight
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
Salt spray is clinging soft to the dark glass now
hushing the world until it forgets how to be loud
far off the water thuds low against the sand
you are already drifting, safe and slow somehow

[Chorus]
Sydney, Sydney, close your eyes and bide with me
nothing out there in the dark can trouble what we've grown
hold my hand and let the tide talk quietly
Sydney, you were always meant to be beside me

[Verse 2]
Every sound outside has softened to a hush
the night pulls its blanket gently over the wide bay
you don't need to listen, only need to rest here
tucked in warm while the water sings itself away

[Pre-chorus]
Sleep is coming closer now like a tide creeping in
let your small breath slow to match the sea's slow swell
stay a moment longer here before you drift completely

[Chorus]
Sydney, Sydney, close your eyes and bide with me
nothing out there in the dark can trouble what we've grown
hold my hand and let the tide talk quietly
Sydney, you were always meant to be beside me

[Bridge]
Nothing can reach you through this warm and quiet room
not the wind, not the dark, not the wide unsettled sea

[Chorus]
Sydney, Sydney, close your eyes and bide with me
nothing out there in the dark can trouble what we've grown
hold my hand and let the tide talk quietly
Sydney, you were always meant to be beside me

[Outro]
Let the salt spray settle soft against the glass
you are held here safely till the morning comes at last
