Songs for Danielle

Verse 1

Boxes stacked behind the counter Three candles waiting for a spark Somebody's counting down the minutes Just to watch you light the dark

Chorus

Danielle, the room lights up Say it loud and ring the bell Nobody fills a place like you do Danielle, Danielle, Danielle

Verse 2

Nobody told the shop we're coming Cardboard piled up by the door But we snuck in with matches ready We came here for you and nothing more

Midnight and the tarmac shines Puddles holding yellow light I keep walking through these lines Thinking how you make it right

Verse 2

Rain keeps falling, soft and slow Streetlights scatter on the ground I don't need a place to go When you're the only thing I've found

I've walked this path a hundred times alone But something in me finally settled well Now every empty street feels like home

Verse 1

I bump you gently down the aisle You knock my elbow, and I smile Two tins that roll and never part That is the whole shape of my heart

Pre-chorus

I never needed the whole store Just this small noise I'm reaching for One little sound and I want more

Chorus

Danielle, you steady me like that Simple as tins in a metal hat Danielle, I'd choose this every day The quiet kind that comes to stay

Verse 2

You laugh at how the trolley leans I laugh at nothing, at both our means We're slow down every single row And still I never want to go

Bridge

No grand aisle, no big display Just you beside me, come what may That sound of tin on tin is small But somehow it says it all

Chorus

Danielle, you steady me like that Simple as tins in a metal hat Danielle, I'd choose this every day The quiet kind that comes to stay

Outro

Still the tins roll, side by side That's how I'll keep you, close, not wide

That amber light still holds its glow You're the warmth I'm walking to

Verse 1

Soft foam slides over pebbles while the dark keeps watch tonight Somewhere the gulls have folded into sleep on a far cliff You are held closer than the tide is held by the moon Rest now, your breathing slower than the smallest drifting skiff

Chorus

Danielle, the night has wrapped its quiet all around your bed Nothing out there in the dark can ever reach you here Sleep swimming warm beneath the hush that settles overhead Danielle, you are the calm this whole wide dark holds dear

Verse 2

Pebbles keep their small cold shine beneath the washing sea Every wave arrives so gently, giving more than it will take You are cradled safer than a shell tucked out of reach Nothing in this whole night means to leave you or forsake

Pre-chorus

Hush now, let the far off cliff and sleeping gulls be still Let the tide keep turning soft while you sink low and slow Something in the dark tonight is leaning in to say

Chorus

Danielle, the night has wrapped its quiet all around your bed Nothing out there in the dark can ever reach you here Sleep swimming warm beneath the hush that settles overhead Danielle, you are the calm this whole wide dark holds dear

Bridge

No storm has ever touched this shore while you lie safe and still Every gull upon that cliff is dreaming just like you

Chorus

Danielle, the night has wrapped its quiet all around your bed Nothing out there in the dark can ever reach you here Sleep swimming warm beneath the hush that settles overhead Danielle, you are the calm this whole wide dark holds dear

Outro

Let the foam keep sliding soft over pebbles worn and round You are loved as deep as any dark the sea has found

Somewhere a wooden dial hums soft and low Filling the room with a warm orange glow Static drifting gentle through the air Wrapping you up in its quiet, easy flow

Danielle, the whole wide house is holding still for you Every little sound tonight is turning kind and true Rest inside the hush that's gathering near Sleep is close now, Danielle, and it loves you

Verse 2

Down in the corner where the light bends low A hush is rocking gently to and fro Nothing in this room would dare to wake you Only softness knows the way to go

Pre-chorus

Hear how the hum grows softer than a sigh Feel how the dark stays gentle passing by Something is leaning close to say goodnight to you

Chorus

Danielle, the whole wide house is holding still for you Every little sound tonight is turning kind and true Rest inside the hush that's gathering near Sleep is close now, Danielle, and it loves you

Let the orange light keep watch till morning comes Let it hold you softer than a hundred hums Nothing here can hurt you, nothing ever will

Somewhere that dial still hums low and slow Watching over you until the morning glow

Verse 1

A thin yellow light falls across the patterned floor tonight It slips through the crack like it came here just to tell Something warm and quiet, something soft that feels alright And I am watching over you, my own Danielle

The house breathes slow around you, settling into rest Every corner of this room is holding what it holds And the dark outside is gentle, it means you nothing but the best

The rug beneath the doorway wears a soft and fading glow Like a promise someone painted there to keep and not to sell And wherever your dreams wander tonight, however far they go You will always find your way back home, Danielle

Rain is falling soft against the window, keeping time Every drop a small hello, a hush, a quiet spell Nothing in this house tonight will ever ring a warning bell You are safe, you are certain, you are mine

Danielle, the light is low and the whole wide world can wait Nothing here will trouble you, nothing here will swell You are held here safely, you are loved beyond debate Sleep now in the quiet, my Danielle

Outro

The yellow light will keep its watch until the morning comes And I will still be near you, breathing soft as evening rain, Danielle
