Songs for Eden

Verse 1

Cups are tipped beside the water Someone left the plates for later Old bike leaning, rust and green You're the one that we came here for

Pre-chorus

Somebody grab a light We've been waiting on tonight So let's get this thing started right

Chorus

Eden, blow the candles out We've been singing, we've been loud Every year we're needin' One more spin around with you

Verse 2

Nobody swept the mess up yet Nobody wants this evening to end Water's still, the sky's turned gold You make the ordinary shine through

Chorus

Eden, blow the candles out We've been singing, we've been loud Every year we're needin' One more spin around with you

Bridge

Here's to the ones who love you loud Here's to the quiet ones too Whatever this year brings you now We'll still be here cheering for you

Chorus

Eden, blow the candles out We've been singing, we've been loud Every year we're needin' One more spin around with you

Outro

Leave the bike beside the water We'll come back and celebrate you

Verse 1

Lights are bouncing off the tiles Water's calm now, ropes pulled in Nobody here but your wild smile This is where the fun begins

Pre-chorus

Turn the music up tonight Something's rising, watch it grow We are standing in your light

Chorus

Eden, dive into your day Two candles short of freedom Every year you find your way Nobody moves us like Eden

Verse 2

Blue reflections on the ceiling Same colour as your happy eyes Nothing here needs any healing When you laugh the whole room flies

Turn the music up tonight Something's rising, watch it grow We are standing in your light

Every splash, a year gone by Every year, a reason why We keep choosing you again

Chorus

Eden, dive into your day Two candles short of freedom Every year you find your way Nobody moves us like Eden

Outro

Let the water settle slow We will love you where you go

Verse 1

Striped seats climbing toward the girders Yellow bulbs strung up in a row Upside down and laughing louder You're the brightest one I know

Chorus

Eden, the whole room's calling your name Spin us round till the colours blur Nobody lights a night like you do Eden, we're so glad you're here

Verse 2

Every year the lights come round again Every year I'm glad you're near Steel and sparks and songs above us Still it's you who steals the cheer

Pre-chorus

Hold on tight now, here it comes Feel your heart pick up the beat Let the whole room sing it with you

Chorus

Eden, the whole room's calling your name Spin us round till the colours blur Nobody lights a night like you do Eden, we're so glad you're here

Bridge

However far this year has spun you However fast the lights all blur We'll be here when the ride slows down Cheering loudest, just for you

Chorus

Eden, the whole room's calling your name Spin us round till the colours blur Nobody lights a night like you do Eden, we're so glad you're here

Outro

The bulbs still swing above the girders We'll keep singing, long after they blur

Verse 1

I hear the water find its way down dripping slow past rust and stone you keep coming back to me like that patient, sure, no need to be found

Chorus

Eden, you're the calm after the storm in me steady as that green roof holds the rain Eden, I don't need a reason you're the only one I'm needin'

Verse 2

Some folks chase the sun for love I'll take you and this grey instead you don't flood me, don't run dry you just stay, and that's enough

Pre-chorus

I've stopped waiting for the sky to clear stopped needing loud to call it real you're the sound that tells me I'm still here

Chorus

Eden, you're the calm after the storm in me steady as that green roof holds the rain Eden, I don't need a reason you're the only one I'm needin'

Bridge

Let the gutters rust, let the seasons turn you're the constant thing I count on however long we've got, however new I'm not leaving, I'm not gone

Chorus

Eden, you're the calm after the storm in me steady as that green roof holds the rain Eden, I don't need a reason you're the only one I'm needin'

Outro

Let it drip down slow forever I'll be here, right where you left me

Verse 1

The window fogs where our breath went Behind the curtain, warm and spent City lights go soft and blurred You're the clearest thing, unslurred

Pre-chorus

I keep tracing shapes we drew Half a heart, half a clue Something's building, plain and true

Chorus

Eden, you're the one I'm needing Nothing fancy, no fine pleading Just this room and just this view And the quiet way I love you

Verse 2

The glass holds every light out there Dimmed down soft, like they don't care But you're not dimmed, you're not far Steady as the nearest star

Pre-chorus

I keep tracing shapes we drew Half a heart, half a clue Something's building, plain and true

Chorus

Eden, you're the one I'm needing Nothing fancy, no fine pleading Just this room and just this view And the quiet way I love you

Bridge

No grand words, no need for more Just your hand and this closed door Whatever comes, whatever's new I'll still be right here with you

Chorus

Eden, you're the one I'm needing Nothing fancy, no fine pleading Just this room and just this view And the quiet way I love you

Outro

The glass still fogs, the lights still blur I'm not looking. I've got her

Verse 1

Rain keeps drumming on the glass Nothing here is asking to be fast You sit and let the hours pass I could watch you and let it last

Pre-chorus

I never needed loud or new Just this quiet room with you And the feeling I keep coming back to

Chorus

Eden, you're the calm I found No need to chase, no need to run Every part of you feels like home ground Eden, you're the steady one

Verse 2

Clay pots waiting on the shelf Patient in a way I'm not myself You never have to prove your worth I saw that clear the day of your birth

Chorus

Eden, you're the calm I found No need to chase, no need to run Every part of you feels like home ground Eden, you're the steady one

Bridge

Some love comes on fast and loud Ours grew slow, like something proud Nothing forced, nothing rehearsed Just you, plain and unreversed

Chorus

Eden, you're the calm I found No need to chase, no need to run Every part of you feels like home ground Eden, you're the steady one

Outro

Let the rain keep falling slow You're the one I'll always know

Verse 1

Somewhere the last of the coals are turning grey and soft the kettle above them has finally gone to rest this house is folding itself down slow, like a held breath let loose and everything quiet in it belongs to you the best

Pre-chorus

Nothing needs tending now, the fire has had its say the copper cools, the whole room learns to lean and this is the hour that carries you away

Chorus

Eden, the warmth is staying right here with you tonight the stove breathes low, the dark won't ask you a thing sleep can come easy now, there's nothing left to fight Eden, you're held here safer than anything

Verse 2

Once these coals burned orange enough to light the whole room red now they're only glowing soft beneath the settling grate you don't need the blaze to know that you are kept and fed this kind of gentle heat was always going to be your fate

Chorus

Eden, the warmth is staying right here with you tonight the stove breathes low, the dark won't ask you a thing sleep can come easy now, there's nothing left to fight Eden, you're held here safer than anything

Bridge

Let your small hands go loose and still there's no hour left that you must climb the kettle keeps its silence at the sill and you can rest inside this quiet time

Chorus

Eden, the warmth is staying right here with you tonight the stove breathes low, the dark won't ask you a thing sleep can come easy now, there's nothing left to fight Eden, you're held here safer than anything

Outro

Somewhere the coals have turned to ash and gone to sleep and you are held as gently as the warmth they used to keep

Verse 1

The linen curtain breathes in slow above the warm wooden sill the whole wide room has gone quiet just to hold you still warmth is rising gently from the radiator's hush and nothing in this house tonight would ever wish you ill

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes now, let the evening settle round your head there is nowhere safer than this quiet, waiting bed and every breath is carrying you softly on ahead

Chorus

Eden, sleep now, let the whole wide night stay still for you there is nothing out there darker than the love that's seeing you through Eden, you are held here, you are needed more than you could know and freedom's just this quiet room where you can let it go

Verse 2

The little ripple in the curtain moves so slow it barely stirs like something soft is watching over all that's yours you are wrapped in warmth that never once will drift away and every corner of this room was built to keep you sure

Bridge

Rest your head where all the warmth of evening gathers in let the hush of home be softer than your smallest dream

Chorus

Eden, sleep now, let the whole wide night stay still for you there is nothing out there darker than the love that's seeing you through Eden, you are held here, you are needed more than you could know and freedom's just this quiet room where you can let it go

Outro

The curtain settles softly on the warm and painted sill sleep now, you are loved here, and the whole night's holding still

Verse 1

Amber light is spilling down the old wood floor tonight Pooling soft and golden in a warm and drowsy light Every corner of this house is holding you so near Nothing in the shadows has a reason to come here

Chorus

Eden, close your eyes now, let the quiet pull you in Nothing you could dream of is a dream you cannot win You are held the whole night long, however dark it seems Eden, drift on gentle now, and float away in dreams

Verse 2

Somewhere up the stairway there's a glow along the wall Soft enough to hush you, never bright enough to call You don't need to wonder what the morning's going to bring Just the hum of this old house and every settling thing

Pre-chorus

The hallway light is fading now to nothing but a hush Your breathing's getting slower like the settling of dusk So let the whole house darken while you're sinking soft and low

Chorus

Eden, close your eyes now, let the quiet pull you in Nothing you could dream of is a dream you cannot win You are held the whole night long, however dark it seems Eden, drift on gentle now, and float away in dreams

Bridge

Rest inside the stillness, let the whole world fall away There is nowhere warmer than the place where you can stay

Chorus

Eden, close your eyes now, let the quiet pull you in Nothing you could dream of is a dream you cannot win You are held the whole night long, however dark it seems Eden, drift on gentle now, and float away in dreams

Outro

The amber light still glows along that quiet upstairs floor Sleeping safe and certain, you are loved behind that door
