Songs for Leo

Verse 1

Miles are humming soft and low Nothing on the radio Just the dark and steady flow And you, the reason I glow

Pre-chorus

Something settles when you're near Quiet in my chest is clear Feels like I could say it here

Chorus

Leo, you're my stereo Playing soft, my Leo Every mile, my heart says so You're the song I want to know

Verse 2

Streetlights slide across your face Nothing rushed about this pace You could sleep in any place Trust like that, I can't erase

Pre-chorus

Something settles when you're near Quiet in my chest is clear Feels like I could say it here

Chorus

Leo, you're my stereo Playing soft, my Leo Every mile, my heart says so You're the song I want to know

Bridge

I don't need the radio I've got you beside me, Leo Steady breathing, soft and slow That's the only tune I know

Chorus

Leo, you're my stereo Playing soft, my Leo Every mile, my heart says so You're the song I want to know

Outro

Still that engine, let it rest Curled up here, you're still the best

Verse 1

Two cups gone cold on the bench Neither one of us moved I watched the clock on the wall Nothing to do but stay close to you

Pre-chorus

You didn't say much, you didn't need to Just stayed right there in the quiet Holding my hand like it mattered

Chorus

Leo, you stayed when the night got long That's the kind of love I trust Not the loud kind, the true kind, Leo The kind that turns to dust to dust

Verse 2

Fluorescent light, tired feet We didn't plan for this night But you were already there Before I even asked you to be

Pre-chorus

You didn't say much, you didn't need to Just stayed right there in the quiet Holding my hand like it mattered

Chorus

Leo, you stayed when the night got long That's the kind of love I trust Not the loud kind, the true kind, Leo The kind that turns to dust to dust

Bridge

Some love shouts, some love hides Yours just sits beside me and waits No need for the perfect words You just showed up, and that was enough

Chorus

Leo, you stayed when the night got long That's the kind of love I trust Not the loud kind, the true kind, Leo The kind that turns to dust to dust

Outro

Two cups still sit on that bench Cold now, but I'd choose it again

Verse 1

Rain comes down and you take my hand One umbrella, that's the plan There's a map tucked in the handle We don't need it where we stand

Pre-chorus

I know these streets, I've walked them blind But I like them better with you beside So don't open up that map just yet

Chorus

Leo, hold the umbrella closer Let the whole world turn to weather Leo, you're the one thing steady I'd choose you before I'd choose the shelter

Verse 2

We miss the turning, don't care at all Puddles catching neon light You laugh and lean your head on my shoulder Wrong way home feels exactly right

Bridge

Some folks need the fastest road I just need you next to me No map could show the way I feel Nothing drawn could set us free

Chorus

Leo, hold the umbrella closer Let the whole world turn to weather Leo, you're the one thing steady I'd choose you before I'd choose the shelter

Outro

Rain or not, the map stays folded You're the only place I'm going

Verse 1

The garden has gone quiet now, and softly holds its breath A moth has settled on the stone to rest before the dark The whole wide sky is leaning down to watch you close your eyes Everything out there is calm because you're calm as well, Leo

Pre-chorus

Let the last light fold away behind the trees so slow Feel how warm this blanket is, how heavy your own eyes grow Nothing in the world tonight is asking you to go

Chorus

Leo, the whole garden's gone to sleep with you Every little breeze has settled down and hushed the leaves too Nothing needs to move again until the morning's due Rest now, Leo, there is nothing here but you

Verse 2

The moth upon the path has folded up its wings to rest No one is in any hurry underneath this quiet sky Even the smallest thing tonight has found a place to lie So let your busy little day sink softly to its rest

Bridge

Somewhere a door has gently closed on all the noise of light Somewhere the whole wide world has agreed to say goodnight

Chorus

Leo, the whole garden's gone to sleep with you Every little breeze has settled down and hushed the leaves too Nothing needs to move again until the morning's due Rest now, Leo, there is nothing here but you

Outro

The moth will still be resting there when morning comes up slow Sleep now, and let the whole quiet garden hold you so

Verse 1

The water holds the boat and never lets it stray and something holds you close the very same soft way the lantern by the mast is swinging low and slow and you are why I chose this quiet place to go

Chorus

Leo, the water's still and the light is turning kind close your eyes now, leave the whole wide day behind Leo, I'll keep the lantern burning while you sleep this little boat is safe and yours to keep

Verse 2

No wind tonight to trouble us or rock the tide just the small warm circle where we softly glide I've got you wrapped up snug against the dark and you're the brightest thing I've got, the sweetest spark

Pre-chorus

Hush now, let the ripples carry off the noise let the night come down and settle all its toys you are held, you're kept, and morning's leaning in

Chorus

Leo, the water's still and the light is turning kind close your eyes now, leave the whole wide day behind Leo, I'll keep the lantern burning while you sleep this little boat is safe and yours to keep

Bridge

Nothing moves but the gentle swing of amber light nothing calls you back from this soft and sleepy night you can drift, you can rest, there is nowhere else to be

Chorus

Leo, the water's still and the light is turning kind close your eyes now, leave the whole wide day behind Leo, I'll keep the lantern burning while you sleep this little boat is safe and yours to keep

Outro

The lantern dims to gold above the sleeping tide and you sail on inside the love that keeps you safe inside

Verse 1

Rain is tapping gently on the glass beside your bed A small cat has curled up sleeping on the windowsill You are wrapped in blankets, warm and heavy, cosy as can be Nothing in the whole wide world could ever do you ill

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes and let the quiet carry you away Every little sound out there is singing you to rest Drifting now, so soft and slow, into the gentle grey

Chorus

Leo, Leo, hush now, let the night be kind You are held here safely, nothing left for you to find Leo, Leo, sleep is calling soft and low Rest inside the love that always keeps you safe, Leo

Verse 2

Somewhere out there thunder mutters far beyond the hill You don't need to hear it, you are wrapped up warm inside Breathe in slow and let your worries melt like falling rain There is nowhere in this moment you would rather bide

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes and let the quiet carry you away Every little sound out there is singing you to rest Drifting now, so soft and slow, into the gentle grey

Chorus

Leo, Leo, hush now, let the night be kind You are held here safely, nothing left for you to find Leo, Leo, sleep is calling soft and low Rest inside the love that always keeps you safe, Leo

Bridge

Someone loves you more than any storm could ever say Let that be the thought that carries you to sleep tonight

Chorus

Leo, Leo, hush now, let the night be kind You are held here safely, nothing left for you to find Leo, Leo, sleep is calling soft and low Rest inside the love that always keeps you safe, Leo

Outro

Somewhere on a windowsill a small cat dreams in rain Sleep now, little Leo, you are cherished just the same
