Quiet as a Spoon
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a teaspoon lies still beside the water
waiting there quietly for morning to occur
nothing left stirring, no sound left to bother
and here in my arms it is calm, little Wilbur

[Pre-chorus]
Every small sound in the house has gone softer
lights have leaned low and the evening's grown blurred
so let your eyes close as the dark gathers nearer

[Chorus]
Wilbur, my Wilbur, the hush is your cover
nothing can touch you, no need for a spur
you are the warmth that this whole night is under
sleep now, my Wilbur, sleep now, little Wilbur

[Verse 2]
The water sits grey but it holds no more worry
just stillness enough for a heart to defer
you're held closer than silver, you're never in a hurry
you are the calm that this house can prefer

[Chorus]
Wilbur, my Wilbur, the hush is your cover
nothing can touch you, no need for a spur
you are the warmth that this whole night is under
sleep now, my Wilbur, sleep now, little Wilbur

[Bridge]
Rest now, the kitchen has settled its clatter
you are the one thing that always felt sure

[Chorus]
Wilbur, my Wilbur, the hush is your cover
nothing can touch you, no need for a spur
you are the warmth that this whole night is under
sleep now, my Wilbur, sleep now, little Wilbur

[Outro]
Somewhere that spoon still rests quiet by the water
and here you rest quieter, my little Wilbur
