Songs for Cody

Verse 1

Dust on the sleeve, still I reach Two fingers tracing what jazz can teach Old grooves worn from turning slowly You make the quiet feel holy

Pre-chorus

I keep no secrets from this song I've hummed it soft and hummed it long Now it's ready to break through

Chorus

Cody, I found my favourite sound It's the way you turn me around Cody, nothing about you is showy Just steady, and never lonely

Verse 2

Some records skip, some just go slowly You never once tried to be holy You stayed plain and stayed true That's the whole reason I chose you

Bridge

No need to dress this up at all Simple love doesn't have to be small I'll take the hush over the show

Chorus

Cody, I found my favourite sound It's the way you turn me around Cody, nothing about you is showy Just steady, and never lonely

Outro

Dust settles soft where fingers go I'll keep tracing you, Cody, slow

Verse 1

Cold cuts through the gloves we wear Our breath goes up like smoke tonight You stamp the frost from off your boots And still you hold my hand so tight

Pre-chorus

I've seen you when the ground won't give I've seen you keep on going slowly No warmth out here except your voice

Chorus

Cody, you're the one thing steady Out where the field runs cold and only Some folks need the sun to love you Cody, you love me when it's lonely

Verse 2

The tractor's stuck, the light is thin You laugh it off like it's no bother I watch you work the frozen rut And think there's no one I'd rather

Cody, you're the one thing steady Out where the field runs cold and only Some folks need the sun to love you Cody, you love me when it's lonely

Bridge

You don't dress it up in speeches You just show up, plain and holy That's the kind of love that reaches

Chorus

Cody, you're the one thing steady Out where the field runs cold and only Some folks need the sun to love you Cody, you love me when it's lonely

Outro

Our breath still rises, slow and grey You're the warmth that came to stay

Verse 1

Orange light hums through the blinds Plastic phone pressed to my ear I keep the line open till dawn You're the reason I don't mind

Pre-chorus

Some nights the waiting gets long I hold your voice like it's holy And it's pulling me toward

Chorus

Cody, you're the one I'm calling for Nobody else I'm reaching for Slowly you became my home Cody, you're the one worth waiting for

Verse 2

Streetlight buzzes low and slow Same colour every single night I could watch it burn for hours Long as you're still on the phone

Bridge

I've loved you quiet, I've loved you loud Never once been lonely with you around Whatever this is, I don't want it to end

Cody, you're the one I'm calling for Nobody else I'm reaching for Slowly you became my home Cody, you're the one worth waiting for

Outro

The light still hums against the blinds But I'm not lonely, I've got you on the line

Verse 1

The old wood floor is creaking soft beneath the heavy blanket's fold Every little sound tonight is turning gentle, turning slow You are wrapped up warm against the coming dark and cold And nothing in this house will let the candle's comfort go

Pre-chorus

Hush now, let the quiet settle over every little sigh Close your eyes and let the whole wide world go softly by There's nothing waiting out there that could ever make you cry

Chorus

Cody, Cody, rest your head and let the night be kind Sleep is only love that's learned to slow and lose its way You are held so closely, closer than you'll ever find Cody, dream until the dark gives over into day

Verse 2

The blanket's heavy weight is like an arm around your chest Somebody thought to make it warm before you settled in You don't have to carry anything, you get to rest This is where the quiet always lets the night begin

Bridge

Every creak below is just the house that keeps you safe Nothing here will ever ask you to be more than you are

Chorus

Cody, Cody, rest your head and let the night be kind Sleep is only love that's learned to slow and lose its way You are held so closely, closer than you'll ever find Cody, dream until the dark gives over into day

Outro

The floorboards settle quiet now beneath the blanket's fold Sleep now, little one, you're safe, you're warm, you're loved, you're home

Verse 1

Heavy drops are sliding slowly down the cold glass tonight Falling into iron gutters, soft and low and slow Everything outside is quiet, tucked away from sight You are warm inside these blankets, safe in gentle glow

Pre-chorus

Listen how the rain is humming, softest kind of song Nothing needs to hurry now, the whole night stretches long Close your eyes and let the quiet carry you along

Chorus

Cody, Cody, rest your head and drift away Nothing in the dark tonight will ever lead you wrong You are held so close and steady while the shadows sway Sleep now, little Cody, to the rain's own song

Verse 2

Somewhere past the window sill the whole wide world is sleeping Puddles catching starlight in the hush before the dawn You don't need to worry while the gentle rain is weeping Every drop that falls tonight is just a lullaby drawn

Chorus

Cody, Cody, rest your head and drift away Nothing in the dark tonight will ever lead you wrong You are held so close and steady while the shadows sway Sleep now, little Cody, to the rain's own song

Bridge

Rest inside this quiet room where nothing needs to change Let the soft and steady rhythm carry you along

Chorus

Cody, Cody, rest your head and drift away Nothing in the dark tonight will ever lead you wrong You are held so close and steady while the shadows sway Sleep now, little Cody, to the rain's own song

Outro

The rain has slowed to nothing on the quiet windowpane You are safe and warm forever, cradled in the calm

Verse 1

Amber light is pooling soft along the old brass rail tonight Watching over you the way it always keeps its quiet light Nothing in this room could ever wish you harm You are folded safe inside this gentle, glowing sight

Shadows on the wall are soft and never mean a thing Every little creak tonight is just the house's quiet sigh Warmth is curled around you like a promise kept till morning You can let it all go now and simply drift and fly

Sleep now, and the amber light will keep its watch till morning Rest here, you are held and warm and never, ever alone
