Songs for Izzy

Verse 1

A soft light spills in gold across the floor tonight Reaching for the corner where your quiet breathing stays Sleep is only drifting somewhere warm and out of sight You carry all my calm through every one of these days

Pre-chorus

Somewhere past the doorway all the noise has gone to rest Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to find you yet Just settle deeper into everything that loves you best

Chorus

Izzy, the glow is keeping watch beside your bed Never has a light held something quite this dear Izzy, let it wrap you soft from toe to head There is nowhere safer for you than right here

Verse 2

A hush moves slowly over blankets pulled up to your chin Every worry folds itself and settles out of reach Nothing sharp or hurried ever gets to slip within You are held together like the sand along a beach

Pre-chorus

Somewhere past the doorway all the noise has gone to rest Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to find you yet Just settle deeper into everything that loves you best

Chorus

Izzy, the glow is keeping watch beside your bed Never has a light held something quite this dear Izzy, let it wrap you soft from toe to head There is nowhere safer for you than right here

Bridge

Rain is tapping soft against the windowpane so slow Piano notes are folding into shadows down the hall

Chorus

Izzy, the glow is keeping watch beside your bed Never has a light held something quite this dear Izzy, let it wrap you soft from toe to head There is nowhere safer for you than right here

Outro

That warm light still is stretching out to where you lie Sleep now, love is staying till the morning finds you fine

Verse 1

Somewhere above us the chimney breathes low and soft Soot drifts down slow like a hush let loose from a loft Nothing in this house is rushing tonight You are the calm that the whole room is held aloft by

Pre-chorus

The brick keeps its warmth the way I keep you close Every small sound settles down as the fire goes low So let your eyes close before I finish this line

Chorus

Izzy, the dark is only a blanket pulled soft and slow Nothing can touch you, nothing can trouble you so You are the warmest thing in this quiet house tonight Izzy, sleep now, there's nowhere safer to go

Verse 2

The flue holds its breath and lets the soot fall like snow Quiet as that is how deep and how well you will sleep No sound in the world could pull you from where you rest You are held here so gently, so completely, so slow

Chorus

Izzy, the dark is only a blanket pulled soft and slow Nothing can touch you, nothing can trouble you so You are the warmest thing in this quiet house tonight Izzy, sleep now, there's nowhere safer to go

Bridge

Every soft grey speck comes to rest and then is still You are loved the same way, without needing to try Let the whole night settle the way that soot will

Chorus

Izzy, the dark is only a blanket pulled soft and slow Nothing can touch you, nothing can trouble you so You are the warmest thing in this quiet house tonight Izzy, sleep now, there's nowhere safer to go

Outro

Somewhere above us the last of the soot settles down You are already sleeping, and the whole house is quiet now

Verse 1

White lace lifts slowly by the window where you lie catching the moonlight as the midnight breeze drifts by you're wrapped up softly in the quiet of this room nothing can reach you, only stillness, only bloom

Chorus

Izzy, Izzy, close your eyes and drift away hush now, Izzy, let the dark be soft and grey you are the calm this whole night's holding still for Izzy, Izzy, sleep is knocking at your door

Verse 2

Somewhere a curtain sighs and settles back to rest you're held here safely, tucked in warm against my chest the breeze outside is gentle, barely there at all and every worry of the day begins to fall

Pre-chorus

Feel how the night wraps round you, soft as breath nothing to fear here, nothing sharp, nothing left just you and quiet, sinking slow toward sleep

Chorus

Izzy, Izzy, close your eyes and drift away hush now, Izzy, let the dark be soft and grey you are the calm this whole night's holding still for Izzy, Izzy, sleep is knocking at your door

Bridge

Lace keeps lifting gently, though you won't see it move you are loved past measure, you don't need to prove rest now, little dreamer, let the hours go slow

Chorus

Izzy, Izzy, close your eyes and drift away hush now, Izzy, let the dark be soft and grey you are the calm this whole night's holding still for Izzy, Izzy, sleep is knocking at your door

Outro

White lace settles softly now, the breeze has gone to rest and you are safe here always, held and warm and blessed
