Walter, Hold the Quiet
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
The curtains lift and settle over floorboards cool and bare
Midnight breathes so gently through the open window there
Nothing in this room will ever cause you harm or fear
Only warmth and quiet things are waiting for you here

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the whole wide world grow small
Every worry drifting off, you don't need them at all
Just the hush, the breath, the dark, and one more lullaby call

[Chorus]
Walter, you're the softest light this house has ever known
Nothing here will ever let you feel alone
You will never falter while I'm holding on so tight
Walter, close your eyes now, rest here through the night

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window sill the stars are settling too
Every quiet thing tonight is watching over you
The floorboards hold the stillness like they're keeping it in trust
Sleep will come so easy now, there's really no need to rush

[Chorus]
Walter, you're the softest light this house has ever known
Nothing here will ever let you feel alone
You will never falter while I'm holding on so tight
Walter, close your eyes now, rest here through the night

[Bridge]
However far the night unwinds, you're held here safe and sound
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever pull you down

[Chorus]
Walter, you're the softest light this house has ever known
Nothing here will ever let you feel alone
You will never falter while I'm holding on so tight
Walter, close your eyes now, rest here through the night

[Outro]
The curtains breathe so slowly now above the floor you know
Sleep well, little Walter, let the quiet carry you low
