The coats are hung and the hallway light turns low There is nowhere left that we need to go Just this hush, just you, just the dark holding slow

Little bubbles rise and settle soft against your skin Warm water holds you gentle as the light begins to fade Nothing hurries here beside you, nothing rushes in Everything tonight is quiet, everything's unmade

Feather shadows brush against the frosted glass tonight branches sway so softly, swaying out of sight the whole wide world has folded down to just this room and here you rest, held safe within the light
