Songs for Ffion

Verse 1

Light comes soft between the shelves Dust hangs still like it knows itself I found you reading in that glow And something in me let go

Pre-chorus

You didn't look up right away But I already had things to say My whole chest was leaning your way

Chorus

Ffion, you're the calm in the noise The quiet I never knew I'd choose Ffion, steady as a heartbeat's hum You're the reason my mornings come

Verse 2

You keep your favourites on the low shelf Worn soft from loving them yourself I want to be held onto that way Kept close and read again some day

Bridge

Doesn't matter how the story bends However this line of ours extends I'll take the version with you in it Every page, every quiet minute

Chorus

Ffion, you're the calm in the noise The quiet I never knew I'd choose Ffion, steady as a heartbeat's hum You're the reason my mornings come

Outro

Dust still floats where the light comes through I'm still standing here loving you

Verse 1

Two hands land on the same colander and neither one of us pulls back you laugh before I even can and something in my chest goes slack

Pre-chorus

It's never the big things that show it it's this, it's nothing, it's small but I keep choosing you without knowing it

Chorus

Ffion, you steady me without trying there's no one I'd rather collide with Ffion, this closeness needs no justifying small as it looks, it's no small thing

Verse 2

We stack the plates and start again you hand me one before I ask how did you learn me half so well like knowing me was your easy task

Chorus

Ffion, you steady me without trying there's no one I'd rather collide with Ffion, this closeness needs no justifying small as it looks, it's no small thing

Bridge

Let the plates wait, let them lean I'd rather stand here caught like this two hands on one small ordinary thing proof of how easy loving you is

Chorus

Ffion, you steady me without trying there's no one I'd rather collide with Ffion, this closeness needs no justifying small as it looks, it's no small thing

Outro

Someday we'll reach for one more thing and I'll still want your hand there first

Verse 1

I found one spoon in the water left there from breakfast, half asleep you always leave the small things waiting that's how I know this love runs deep

Pre-chorus

Nothing here is dressed up fancy nothing here was built to impress but watch how steady it keeps standing

Chorus

Ffion, you make the plain days golden you turn the quiet into home however far this life may carry Ffion, I'm glad I'm not alone

Verse 2

The suds go still, the shine comes slower you hum a tune I've heard for years I never thought I'd love this moment small as it is, it disappears

Chorus

Ffion, you make the plain days golden you turn the quiet into home however far this life may carry Ffion, I'm glad I'm not alone

Bridge

No grand thing ever proved it truer than washing up beside your hands this is the love that keeps on holding this is the one I understand

Chorus

Ffion, you make the plain days golden you turn the quiet into home however far this life may carry Ffion, I'm glad I'm not alone

Outro

One spoon still rests where you left it warm water, and I'm glad you're here

Verse 1

Somewhere the water is turning to silver and hush Rocking so gently it barely leaves a sound You are as safe as the pebbles beneath that soft rush Held while the whole tired world settles down

Chorus

Ffion, the night is a blanket drawn soft round your bed Quietly the moon leans in close to your side Nothing can reach you while dreaming is all that's ahead Ffion, sleep easy, the dark is your friend and your guide

Verse 2

Under the pier the small stones keep each other warm Nothing but stillness and slow, easy tides You are as steady, untouched by the wind or the storm Wrapped up in arms that will stay by your side

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes now, let the ripples carry you far Feel how the darkness is gentle, not deep Drifting to where the calm water meets the first star

Chorus

Ffion, the night is a blanket drawn soft round your bed Quietly the moon leans in close to your side Nothing can reach you while dreaming is all that's ahead Ffion, sleep easy, the dark is your friend and your guide

Bridge

Every small wave that comes home to the shore Whispers you're loved, and you're loved even more

Chorus

Ffion, the night is a blanket drawn soft round your bed Quietly the moon leans in close to your side Nothing can reach you while dreaming is all that's ahead Ffion, sleep easy, the dark is your friend and your guide

Outro

Sleep now, while water breathes soft against stone Ffion, you're held, and you never sleep alone

Verse 1

A tall red flame is settling deep inside the glass tonight Its light is folding softer now, so slowly out of sight You watch it dip and steady like a small and patient friend There's nowhere you should be but here, where all this quiet ends

Pre-chorus

The shadows on the wall are stretching long and turning slow Your breathing finds the rhythm that the gentle light lets go Close your eyes, my darling, let the warm dark start to grow

Chorus

Ffion, the light is low and leaning into you Sleep is a quiet room with nothing left to do Rest now, Ffion, the night has you held tight Ffion, you are so loved, all through this softest night

Verse 2

The wick has burned down small but still it holds its steady glow Warmth doesn't need to shout to fill a room from head to toe You curl beneath the blankets like a secret kept from harm Sleep is only love, arriving quiet, dressed in calm

Bridge

Let every worry melt the way the candle melts to gold Nothing here can touch you, you are safe here, you are held

Chorus

Ffion, the light is low and leaning into you Sleep is a quiet room with nothing left to do Rest now, Ffion, the night has you held tight Ffion, you are so loved, all through this softest night

Outro

The glass will hold its glow long after you have drifted deep Wrapped inside this gentle light, you're safe now, fast asleep

Verse 1

Something wide and quiet is drifting past the glass tonight Gliding soft and slow beneath the pale and sleepy light Nothing needs to stir You can rest here safe and still while it glides by

Chorus

Ffion, close your eyes now, let the whole night soften round you Every hush in this room was only ever built to hold you Ffion, drift away slow, there is nowhere you need to fly Sleep is just another pair of wings to carry you

Verse 2

Somewhere past the window something bigger keeps the watch for you Silent as a held breath, gentle as the things we do Sleep and do not worry There is nothing out there wanting anything but you

Pre-chorus

Feel how heavy your eyes have grown, how soft the room has turned Every little sound outside has settled down and learned To let this quiet stay, and lean you toward

Chorus

Ffion, close your eyes now, let the whole night soften round you Every hush in this room was only ever built to hold you Ffion, drift away slow, there is nowhere you need to fly Sleep is just another pair of wings to carry you

Bridge

Whatever passes over us tonight means only to be kind Nothing out there in the dark was ever built to find A reason to come near you, a reason to intrude

Chorus

Ffion, close your eyes now, let the whole night soften round you Every hush in this room was only ever built to hold you Ffion, drift away slow, there is nowhere you need to fly Sleep is just another pair of wings to carry you

Outro

The wide slow shape has passed the window, gone as soft as it came Sleep now, you are held by something gentler than a name
