Wendy, Let the Tide Go Down
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
Dark pebbles drag back slowly through the foam
and far off the white crests break and settle home
the night is closing gentle round the shore
while something warm keeps calling you back close

[Pre-chorus]
Every wave that rolls away comes rolling back again
so let your busy little thoughts go drifting out with them
and rest here while the dark turns soft and slow

[Chorus]
Wendy, Wendy, close your eyes, the night is warm and friendly
nothing here will ever pull you further than an inch
the world can wait till morning, calm and bendy
Wendy, you are held so close, so safe, so loved

[Verse 2]
The water pulls the small stones out and lets them go
but you are held much tighter than the tide could ever know
no current in this wide and darkened sea
could carry you from where you're meant to be

[Chorus]
Wendy, Wendy, close your eyes, the night is warm and friendly
nothing here will ever pull you further than an inch
the world can wait till morning, calm and bendy
Wendy, you are held so close, so safe, so loved

[Bridge]
Hush now, let the far off water sigh and sink
you are not the pebble dragging out beyond the brink
you're the shore that stays, the warmth that does not roam

[Chorus]
Wendy, Wendy, close your eyes, the night is warm and friendly
nothing here will ever pull you further than an inch
the world can wait till morning, calm and bendy
Wendy, you are held so close, so safe, so loved

[Outro]
The white crests settle soft and quiet on the sand
and you can rest now, gathered gently, safe on land
