Songs for Hudson

Verse 1

Rain is drumming on the glass Tomato leaves lean toward the heat Everything outside feels far away When I'm with you the world stays sweet

Pre-chorus

I never needed anything grand Just quiet weather, just your hand Something is building, closer now

Chorus

Hudson, you're the calm inside the storm Steady as the rain that keeps on falling Hudson, you're the reason I stay warm Yours is the only voice worth calling

Verse 2

Every window fogs up when it's cold But I can always see you clear Some folks chase the sun for comfort I just want you standing here

Pre-chorus

I never needed anything grand Just quiet weather, just your hand Something is building, closer now

Chorus

Hudson, you're the calm inside the storm Steady as the rain that keeps on falling Hudson, you're the reason I stay warm Yours is the only voice worth calling

Bridge

Let it pour, I won't complain There's nowhere I'd rather be than near you Some things only grow this way Slow, and steady, safe from harm

Chorus

Hudson, you're the calm inside the storm Steady as the rain that keeps on falling Hudson, you're the reason I stay warm Yours is the only voice worth calling

Outro

Rain still drums against the glass I'm glad I'm growing next to you

Verse 1

Two paper cups on a metal bench Gone cold before we felt the wrench The tracks are empty, the line's gone still But I would sit here longer if you will

Chorus

Hudson, you're the one I'm waiting on Steady as the light after the dark is gone No train has to come to make this true Hudson, I would choose this bench with you

Verse 2

The paint's all peeling, the bench still stands Just like you, holding steady hands Nothing here is fast or new But nothing here feels wrong with you

Pre-chorus

I've counted every minute we've been apart And none of it has changed this heart So let the whistle blow, let it start

Chorus

Hudson, you're the one I'm waiting on Steady as the light after the dark is gone No train has to come to make this true Hudson, I would choose this bench with you

Bridge

Maybe love's not the rush, the roar It's someone who stays, who wants more Of quiet, of cold cups, of this Of you, and how easy this is

Chorus

Hudson, you're the one I'm waiting on Steady as the light after the dark is gone No train has to come to make this true Hudson, I would choose this bench with you

Outro

Let the cups go cold, let the tracks stay bare I'd still pick this bench, just to have you there

Verse 1

Under the cold neon light Half a loaf sitting alone I picked it up just to hold something Wishing that you were home

Chorus

Hudson, you steady my hands Every small thing feels like proof You turn the plainest little moment Hudson, into the truth

Verse 2

Late shift, empty aisle, tired feet Nothing here shines or looks new But I keep thinking of your kitchen And how I'd rather be there with you

Pre-chorus

I'm not one for pretty words I just know what I have found Something honest, something good, son

Chorus

Hudson, you steady my hands Every small thing feels like proof You turn the plainest little moment Hudson, into the truth

Bridge

No candlelight, no big scene Just a bag swinging at my side Still I'm carrying you home with me Still you're the reason I smile

Chorus

Hudson, you steady my hands Every small thing feels like proof You turn the plainest little moment Hudson, into the truth

Outro

Half a loaf, still warm somehow You make the ordinary mine

Verse 1

Wool threads rest heavy across my knee tonight and somewhere near the floorboards softly creak the whole wide house is settling into the light and you're the reason I have grown so weak

Pre-chorus

Every little breath you take is holding on to me and every creak outside is just the house saying goodnight so let the hush come closer, let your shoulders finally be free

Chorus

Hudson, close your eyes and let the dark be kind you are the calm that settles every room I'm in there's nowhere safer than the place you'll always find Hudson, you were loved before you took a single breath

Verse 2

The wool sits warm and still across my folded knee while shadows learn to lie down soft along the floor nothing in this house would ever wish you harm or worry you are the quiet thing I have been waiting for

Pre-chorus

Every little breath you take is holding on to me and every creak outside is just the house saying goodnight so let the hush come closer, let your shoulders finally be free

Chorus

Hudson, close your eyes and let the dark be kind you are the calm that settles every room I'm in there's nowhere safer than the place you'll always find Hudson, you were loved before you took a single breath

Bridge

Sleep now, let the whole wide night grow slow and low you are held by hands that never plan to go

Chorus

Hudson, close your eyes and let the dark be kind you are the calm that settles every room I'm in there's nowhere safer than the place you'll always find Hudson, you were loved before you took a single breath

Outro

The wool grows still and heavy now across my knee sleep on, my Hudson, you are everything to me

Verse 1

A slow yellow beam moves quietly over the water tonight tracing the dark with such patient and tender light warm in your room while the waves settle low safe in this hush where the soft hours go

Chorus

Hudson, my Hudson, the tide has grown still and kind rest now and let all your worries unwind you are the harbour this light always finds held here so gently, so deep in my mind

Verse 2

Somewhere the water is turning to glass in the cove wrapped in the calm that this quiet night wove close your eyes softly, let dreaming begin warmth all around you, both out and within

Pre-chorus

Sleep is a shoreline where nothing can harm you the dark only holds you, it never will storm you closer and closer the hush starts to call you

Chorus

Hudson, my Hudson, the tide has grown still and kind rest now and let all your worries unwind you are the harbour this light always finds held here so gently, so deep in my mind

Bridge

Every beam that sweeps low over black, quiet water turns for you only, my own steady starter nothing can touch you while this light keeps on turning

Chorus

Hudson, my Hudson, the tide has grown still and kind rest now and let all your worries unwind you are the harbour this light always finds held here so gently, so deep in my mind

Outro

The beam swings on slowly past the dark, sleeping water and you drift off safely, my own quiet harbour

Verse 1

The curtains lift and settle like the tide finding its shore Nothing in this room is asking for a single thing more The dark has gone soft around you, wrapped in wood and hush Sleep is only breathing that keeps drifting toward the door

Pre-chorus

Somewhere past the window the whole world has laid its head down Every worry you could carry has grown far too tired to frown So let your small hands open and let go of the day now

Chorus

Hudson, the night is holding you like river holds the mud Nothing can reach you here, not shadow, not the flood You are the warmest good this quiet house has known Sleep well, my Hudson, sleep as easy as good blood

Verse 2

The crib was carved from patient wood that waited just for you Every curve of it was shaped by hands that loved you too Breathe in the calm that settles when the last light starts to fade There is nothing in this dark that isn't gentle, isn't true

Chorus

Hudson, the night is holding you like river holds the mud Nothing can reach you here, not shadow, not the flood You are the warmest good this quiet house has known Sleep well, my Hudson, sleep as easy as good blood

Bridge

Let the curtain breathe for you when your own breath grows too slow Let the quiet do the watching while you drift below

Chorus

Hudson, the night is holding you like river holds the mud Nothing can reach you here, not shadow, not the flood You are the warmest good this quiet house has known Sleep well, my Hudson, sleep as easy as good blood

Outro

The white curtains drift inward, softer now than any sound This is where you're kept, this is where you're always found
