Low and Slow
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
The candle on the table burns low and settles slow
A small and steady flicker keeping watch here on the floor
This quiet little house is holding you the way it should hold
And every breath you take tonight is what I'm counting for

[Pre-chorus]
The wax runs down in ribbons while the room grows soft and dim
Nothing in this whole wide dark can reach you where you are
So let your eyes grow heavy now and drift wherever they swim

[Chorus]
Theodore, the night is kind and it will keep you safe till morning
Nothing here will hurry you, there's no need to be scared
Sleep is just a gentle boat and you're the one it's sworn in
Theodore, however far you drift, you'll wake up still adored

[Verse 2]
The flame leans toward the window like it's tired too and small
Casting one long shadow softly stretching by the door
Somewhere out beyond the glass the whole night's settling small
And you're the warmest thing in it, the one worth waiting for

[Bridge]
Let the dark come slow and easy, nothing here will make you jump
One small light is all it takes to make a whole house sure
Sleep now, you don't have to hold on to anything at all

[Chorus]
Theodore, the night is kind and it will keep you safe till morning
Nothing here will hurry you, there's no need to be scared
Sleep is just a gentle boat and you're the one it's sworn in
Theodore, however far you drift, you'll wake up still adored

[Outro]
The candle burns down low and quiet, easy on the wooden table
Sleep now, love, the whole night's yours to keep
