Soft as Falling Dust
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
Somewhere in the chimney the brick dust drifts down slow
Settling like a blanket where the quiet embers used to glow
You are held much gentler than that whisper falling low
Safer than the softest thing that any house could know

[Pre-chorus]
Every little sound tonight is turning into rest
Even shadows in the corner lean in soft against your chest
Close your eyes, my darling, let the hush do the rest

[Chorus]
Zoey, the whole dark room is holding you so near
Nothing needs to hurry now, there's nowhere far from here
Zoey, you're the warmest thing this quiet house can hear
Sleep is just another way of saying you're held dear

[Verse 2]
Old brick towers keep their heat long after the fire has gone
Something in the walls remembers warmth and carries it along
You will carry something soft no matter what comes on
Wrapped in all the quiet love that this whole night has drawn

[Chorus]
Zoey, the whole dark room is holding you so near
Nothing needs to hurry now, there's nowhere far from here
Zoey, you're the warmest thing this quiet house can hear
Sleep is just another way of saying you're held dear

[Bridge]
Let the small dust settle soft on every sleeping thing
Let the hush inside this house be all the song you need

[Chorus]
Zoey, the whole dark room is holding you so near
Nothing needs to hurry now, there's nowhere far from here
Zoey, you're the warmest thing this quiet house can hear
Sleep is just another way of saying you're held dear

[Outro]
Somewhere the brick dust settles soft and finally lies still
Rest now, you are held as gently as the night can hold anything
