Still and Slow
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
Down the hall the old clock has folded its hands for the night
and the brass weights hang quiet, done with their long steady fight
every tick has gone soft, every hour has laid down its load
and the house breathes around you like a warm, sleepy road

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing in this house is asking you to be anywhere but here
close your eyes on the hush, let the dark hold you near
the whole house is leaning in soft to keep you

[Chorus]
Wayne, the night has wrapped its arms around this room
Wayne, there's nothing waiting for you here but calm and moon
the weights have stopped their swinging, they are resting just like you
so let the quiet carry you the way the warm rain does too

[Verse 2]
The clock forgets to count when it knows that you're asleep
time can wait outside the door, it's got no need to keep
every corner of this house has gone as still as glass
and the rain outside is humming while the minutes softly pass

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing in this house is asking you to be anywhere but here
close your eyes on the hush, let the dark hold you near
the whole house is leaning in soft to keep you

[Chorus]
Wayne, the night has wrapped its arms around this room
Wayne, there's nothing waiting for you here but calm and moon
the weights have stopped their swinging, they are resting just like you
so let the quiet carry you the way the warm rain does too

[Bridge]
No bell will ring, no hour will call your name tonight
just rain on the window and one small softening light
sleep is a warm room where nothing needs to move at all

[Chorus]
Wayne, the night has wrapped its arms around this room
Wayne, there's nothing waiting for you here but calm and moon
the weights have stopped their swinging, they are resting just like you
so let the quiet carry you the way the warm rain does too

[Outro]
Somewhere down the hall the brass hangs still and does not sway
and you, my love, are held as gently, drifting soft away
