Songs for Amaya

You stirred the sugar, smiled so wide Left the mess where dreams reside No one asked, no one said a thing Just knew you’d make the moment sing

Sun comes in along the shelf Catching dust above the spines I never meant to watch so long But you were somewhere in those lines

You leave your paperbacks half read Pages folded where you stopped I like the way you mark your place Like nothing in your life gets dropped

The wires outside keep humming low Same soft sound wherever I go You pick up before I ring twice That's how I know that you'd think twice

The glass still hums when you are gone Amaya, that's the sound I lean on

Two coats and the cold coming through Planks under us humming so low Nobody else out here tonight I keep my hands warm next to you

Take my coat if you're still cold We'll stay till the water settles

Verse 1

The last of the fire is sliding soft and grey and slow Down through the bars where all the day's light went You are the warmth still glowing after embers lose their glow Held safe inside a stillness heaven sent

Hush now, let the dark come gentle, let it hold you near Every little sound is fading, soft and low Nothing in this whole wide night has any cause for fear

The ash falls down so quiet it could never wake a soul You are louder in my heart than any flame Somewhere past the window slow grey clouds begin to roll But nothing in the dark can ever touch your name

Rain is falling gentle on the roof above your head Piano notes are drifting slow to find your bed

Verse 1

Far off the white foam washes soft over dark and quiet stones The sky has gone the colour of a hundred sleepy homes Nothing in this whole wide world could ever ask you to be scared Close your eyes now, let the evening carry you where warmth still grows

Every wave that rolls in comes in slower than the last The light is nearly finished, letting go of what has passed Just breathe now, easy, while the quiet gathers you at last

Somewhere the white foam still turns soft over sleeping stones And you are held as gently, safe and warm and never alone

Verse 1

Watch how the branches sway slow on the ceiling above you Soft as a hand that keeps smoothing the quiet to soothe you Nothing tonight means you ever need worry or hide Sleep is a boat and I'm rowing you gently inside

Close now the day and let go of its noise and its weather Nothing can find you while we are here holding together Rest now, my love, while the dark turns as soft as a
