You push the cart past all the noise I watch you choose the small joys You stop for flowers, no reason at all And something in my chest goes tall

It's not the bread or the milk I need It's the way you make plain moments freed I'm learning what this feeling's for

Chorus

George, you turn the ordinary gold You're the warmest hand I hold Nothing fancy, nothing large Just George, steady as a barge

Verse 2

You never make a show of care It just shows up, quiet, there A bunch of colour in the grey That's how you love, that's your way

Bridge

No occasion, no big date Just you deciding love can't wait Some folks save it, keep it back You just hand it, no attack

No mountain, just a gentle slope No promise bigger than today This hillside holds enough for hope I'm glad you're here, I'll gladly stay

The mirror keeps fogging over again Your name is the first thing I say I find your toothbrush before mine We start every morning this way

You leave the cap off every time I used to mind, now I don't Small things, the way love settles in Quiet as steam on the font

Verse 1

Far along the shore the waves are rolling soft and low Sinking into pillows while the tide begins to go Nothing in the dark tonight can reach this quiet room You are held here safely while the gentle water flows

Pre-chorus

Listen how the night breathes slow around this little bed Every distant wave is singing softly overhead Close your eyes now, let it carry all you need to hold

Somewhere down the beach the water folds upon the sand Soft as breathing, soft as something holding your small hand Every wave that comes tonight will leave as quiet as it came You are safe here where the dark and quiet understand

Listen how the night breathes slow around this little bed Every distant wave is singing softly overhead Close your eyes now, let it carry all you need to hold

Whatever tide should ever come to call you from this shore You will always have this quiet you can journey home for

Outro

Somewhere far away the waves are folding soft as this Sleep now, little one, held safe inside the quiet dark

Verse 1

The door stands open just a little way for you and a small light glows so gentle in the dark it waits beside your pillow, watching all night through so nothing in the shadows ever leaves its mark

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes now, let the whole house settle down every corner of this night belongs to you the quiet wraps around you like a warm dressing gown

Somewhere down the hallway soft footsteps come and go checking that you're breathing, slow and deep and sound the whole world outside can wait for morning's glow while you rest here safely, gathered and unfound

Even when the house falls silent, you are not alone someone's always near you, just a breath away

The door stays open, just a little, all night long so you can sleep here knowing you belong

Verse 1

Soft creaking carries you off to somewhere calm and warm You curl in close while the evening folds around your head This old chair holds every worry until it's gone And nothing waits for you now but sleep and this soft bed

Chorus

George, my love, let the whole day go Rock with me while the house grows still George, you're held here, safe and slow Nothing tonight can touch you, and nothing will

Verse 2

Your blanket keeps the chill of the night outside the door Breathing slower now, you sink into the dark Every creak of this chair says you're loved once more And the quiet wraps around you like a gentle spark

Hush now, let your small hands rest upon the wool Feel how the rocking matches your heart's own gentle pace Close your eyes, love, sleep is coming full

Chorus

George, my love, let the whole day go Rock with me while the house grows still George, you're held here, safe and slow Nothing tonight can touch you, and nothing will

Bridge

Somewhere out past the window the stars are keeping watch You don't need to know that, only that you're loved Sleep can come as gently as this old chair's slow notch

Chorus

George, my love, let the whole day go Rock with me while the house grows still George, you're held here, safe and slow Nothing tonight can touch you, and nothing will

Outro

The chair goes still, but still you're wrapped up tight and warm Sleep well, my George, safe until the morning comes
