Songs for Harmony

Verse 1

I left my glove beside yours not thinking you would stay but there it sits this whole crossing and so do you, in your way

Pre-chorus

The water's cold and moving but nothing here feels far I keep wanting to say

Chorus

Harmony, you steady me like calm on thee no wind can shake what's true there's a kind of peace that comes from simply sitting here with you

Verse 2

Our gloves have gone from soaked to damp the deck has gone from loud to still and I am learning how you love me slow, and certain, like you will

Pre-chorus

I used to think love needed noise some grand and burning start but you just sat down next to me

Chorus

Harmony, you steady me like calm on thee no wind can shake what's true there's a kind of peace that comes from simply sitting here with you

Bridge

Some hold on tight to keep from falling I hold on because it's you not fear, just wanting to stay near you for every crossing, all the way through

Chorus

Harmony, you steady me like calm on thee no wind can shake what's true there's a kind of peace that comes from simply sitting here with you

Outro

The gloves dry out, the bench stays empty but I'd still choose this seat, with you

Verse 1

One lamp between two desks tonight Your stapler and mine catch the light We work in one small yellow ring Close enough to hear you breathe

Pre-chorus

I don't need the whole room lit Just this circle, just this bit Of you beside me, holding still

Chorus

Harmony, you keep me steady No harm on thee while I am ready To share this light, to share this space There's no place I'd rather stay

Verse 2

Papers stacked, the hour late You hum something, I don't wait To reach across and touch your hand This is more than I had planned

Chorus

Harmony, you keep me steady No harm on thee while I am ready To share this light, to share this space There's no place I'd rather stay

Bridge

Let the whole world dim and fade I'm not afraid of small and slow One warm bulb, one quiet trade Of everything I have to give

Chorus

Harmony, you keep me steady No harm on thee while I am ready To share this light, to share this space There's no place I'd rather stay

Outro

Turn the lamp off, we'll still glow One small light was all we needed

Verse 1

The calendar's stuck on a Tuesday My coffee's gone cold in my hand But you texted to say you'd be here soon And that's the only clock I understand

Pre-chorus

I count the tiles on the floor I count the hours, then I lose track Then I hear your voice at the door

Chorus

Harmony, you walk in and the room breathes Nothing here could ever harm thee Not while I'm standing watch, not while I'm here You're the calm on thee that I hold dear

Verse 2

They changed the picture on the wall Some print of a field and a farm It doesn't matter what they hang there When you're near, nothing does me harm

Pre-chorus

I count the tiles on the floor I count the hours, then I lose track Then I hear your voice at the door

Chorus

Harmony, you walk in and the room breathes Nothing here could ever harm thee Not while I'm standing watch, not while I'm here You're the calm on thee that I hold dear

Bridge

This isn't new, this isn't rare It's just you, showing up, always there No grand words, no perfect timing Just your hand finding mine, again and again

Chorus

Harmony, you walk in and the room breathes Nothing here could ever harm thee Not while I'm standing watch, not while I'm here You're the calm on thee that I hold dear

Outro

The cup's still sitting there, half full I'd wait through every hour for you

Verse 1

A small flame is glowing behind the painted glass warm little colours moving slow as they pass Nothing can touch you where the shadows softly play safe in this quiet at the end of the day

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes now, let the room grow still and low feel how the light leans gentle wherever you go and drift with me down where the soft dark starts to grow

Chorus

Harmony, sleep now, let the light hold you tight nothing will harm thee through the long, gentle night You are the calm on thee this whole house has found Harmony, rest now, let your breathing be the sound

Verse 2

Wax melts slowly down the side of the jar quieter than whispers, softer than any star Your small hands are curled where the warmth likes to stay and all of my worry just floats far away

Bridge

Let the wick burn low while the whole world turns to rest you are held so close, you are loved and you are blessed Every flicker says what my voice cannot quite say sleep now, little one, until the break of day

Chorus

Harmony, sleep now, let the light hold you tight nothing will harm thee through the long, gentle night You are the calm on thee this whole house has found Harmony, rest now, let your breathing be the sound

Outro

The little flame settles low behind the glass and you sleep on gently, held here till night has passed

Verse 1

A small light glows above the old white skirting board It never sleeps, it never dims, it never strays It watches over every door that you have closed And waits so softly through the quiet, sleepy haze

Pre-chorus

The house breathes slow, the halls are hushed and dim Nothing here can reach you, nothing brings you harm So let your tired little eyes grow soft and swim

Chorus

Harmony, the night has wrapped you warm like an arm Sleep is close and nothing here will do you harm Rest your head, let every worry settle calm You are held tonight, Harmony, safe and calm

Verse 2

The stairs are still, the switch above them barely gleams A gentle gold that guards the dark and holds it back It lights the path for all your softest, sleepy dreams And keeps you close along that quiet little track

Pre-chorus

The house breathes slow, the halls are hushed and dim Nothing here can reach you, nothing brings you harm So let your tired little eyes grow soft and swim

Chorus

Harmony, the night has wrapped you warm like an arm Sleep is close and nothing here will do you harm Rest your head, let every worry settle calm You are held tonight, Harmony, safe and calm

Bridge

Somewhere past the landing, love is standing near Watching over you the whole night through, my dear

Chorus

Harmony, the night has wrapped you warm like an arm Sleep is close and nothing here will do you harm Rest your head, let every worry settle calm You are held tonight, Harmony, safe and calm

Outro

The little light still glows above the skirting board Sleep now, Harmony, you are so dearly adored

Verse 1

Outside your window a bicycle leans against the old stone wall its wheel is turning slowly in the quiet evening air shadows climb the ceiling in a slow and gentle line you watch them circle softly till your eyes begin to fall

Pre-chorus

The spokes are turning shadows that no sound can ever reach hush is filling up the room like tide along the beach so let the quiet gather now and carry you to sleep

Chorus

Harmony, the dark is soft and nothing here can harm thee close your eyes, the night will hold you gentle, safe and calm rest inside the hush that wraps around you like a warm arm sleep now, little one, there's no more peaceful place to be

Verse 2

Somewhere down the lane the bicycle is finally still and resting wheels have stopped their turning now, the spokes have gone to sleep you are wrapped in blankets warm as any summer evening and the whole wide world has softened into shadows deep

Chorus

Harmony, the dark is soft and nothing here can harm thee close your eyes, the night will hold you gentle, safe and calm rest inside the hush that wraps around you like a warm arm sleep now, little one, there's no more peaceful place to be

Bridge

Every shadow on the wall is just the night being kind nothing moves now but the slow and steady dark

Chorus

Harmony, the dark is soft and nothing here can harm thee close your eyes, the night will hold you gentle, safe and calm rest inside the hush that wraps around you like a warm arm sleep now, little one, there's no more peaceful place to be

Outro

Somewhere the bicycle waits quiet in the moonlight till the morning you are held and warm and safe till day comes softly calling
