Cedar and Calm
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
Black water rocks the cedar boards so slow tonight
Somewhere a lantern dims to just a thread of light
Rest your small head where all the soft things are
Nothing can reach you, you're held, you're not too far

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the sky has turned its heavy grey to rest
Every wave outside is tucking in its crest
So let your breathing follow mine down soft and slow

[Chorus]
Tanya, the dark is only a blanket pulled up high
Nothing under this quiet wool coloured sky can touch you
Tanya, my hands will hold the night till it turns kind
You are the warmest thing that this whole world has found

[Verse 2]
Painted planks creak gently underneath the weight of sleep
Somewhere the water folds itself in a slow deep sweep
Close your eyes where nothing sharp or loud can stay
Morning will find you wrapped the very same soft way

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the sky has turned its heavy grey to rest
Every wave outside is tucking in its crest
So let your breathing follow mine down soft and slow

[Chorus]
Tanya, the dark is only a blanket pulled up high
Nothing under this quiet wool coloured sky can touch you
Tanya, my hands will hold the night till it turns kind
You are the warmest thing that this whole world has found

[Bridge]
Let the water lap and settle far below your bed
Sleep is just the tide of love pulled soft round your head

[Chorus]
Tanya, the dark is only a blanket pulled up high
Nothing under this quiet wool coloured sky can touch you
Tanya, my hands will hold the night till it turns kind
You are the warmest thing that this whole world has found

[Outro]
Sleep now, the water has gone still against the wood
You are the calm I always hoped this night would hold
