Low and Steady
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
A small flame settles low inside its little tin of gold
Soft light is pooling warm the way that quiet stories are told
You breathe beside me slower now than any breath before
Sleep is coming gentle, easy, safe for you to hold

[Chorus]
Tammy, close your eyes now, let the evening in
Nothing here can touch you, nothing can begin
You are held so closely, closer than you know
Tammy, drift on softly, let the whole night settle slow

[Verse 2]
Wax runs down so slowly, patient as a sleepy tide
Every little worry has already gone outside
You are wrapped in stillness, warmer than a summer noon
Nothing in this room tonight has any need to hide

[Pre-chorus]
Watch the small light bending, easy, golden, low
Feel your shoulders loosen, feel the day let go
Something soft is calling, gentle, warm and slow

[Chorus]
Tammy, close your eyes now, let the evening in
Nothing here can touch you, nothing can begin
You are held so closely, closer than you know
Tammy, drift on softly, let the whole night settle slow

[Bridge]
Whatever came before you, whatever waits ahead
This moment holds you only, this quiet, this small bed
You are loved beyond the counting, past what any words can show

[Chorus]
Tammy, close your eyes now, let the evening in
Nothing here can touch you, nothing can begin
You are held so closely, closer than you know
Tammy, drift on softly, let the whole night settle slow

[Outro]
Down to almost nothing, the little flame burns true
Sleep now, small and steady, the whole night keeps for you
