Songs for Luna

Verse

Wooden forks drop on the napkins Amber light hangs on your face Nothing here needs to be special You still make the ordinary a place

Verse 1

Two heavy coats on the brass latch still dripping from the walk back yours keeps leaning into mine that's how I know we're doing fine

Pre-chorus

The radiator ticks and hums something in my chest just comes undone and I feel it building into

Chorus

Luna, you're the warmth I'm walking to every door feels lighter when I'm through nobody sits right in a room without you Luna, Luna, this is easy, this is true

Verse 2

You hang your coat up first, always then wait for me by the hallway water pooling by our shoes this is the only news I use

Chorus

Luna, you're the warmth I'm walking to every door feels lighter when I'm through nobody sits right in a room without you Luna, Luna, this is easy, this is true

Bridge

Let the whole world stay out in the rain we've got no one else to explain just two coats and the heat coming through and me, still choosing you

Chorus

Luna, you're the warmth I'm walking to every door feels lighter when I'm through nobody sits right in a room without you Luna, Luna, this is easy, this is true

Outro

Someday our coats will hang there still and I'll love you the same, I will

Verse 1

The bench hums soft beneath us Water ripples, easy, endless I feel the rail shake gentle You lean in and steady us

Chorus

Luna, you're the calm I lean on Steady even when the light is gone Nothing loud about the way I love you Luna, quiet, and I'm never wrong

Verse 2

We sit here past the evening Nothing planned, nothing needing You just hold my hand there I forget what I was leaving

Pre-chorus

Something in the water's shaking Something in my chest is waking I keep reaching for the words

Chorus

Luna, you're the calm I lean on Steady even when the light is gone Nothing loud about the way I love you Luna, quiet, and I'm never wrong

Bridge

No grand words, just this bench Just your hand, just this stretch Of water going nowhere fast I'd stay in this moment, unrehearsed

Chorus

Luna, you're the calm I lean on Steady even when the light is gone Nothing loud about the way I love you Luna, quiet, and I'm never wrong

Outro

The bench still hums beneath us Luna, you're still steadying us

Verse 1

Something soft is brushing feathers on the darkened glass tonight The curtains breathe in slowly and they settle out of sight Nothing in this room could ever bring you harm You are held here safe and steady, warm within the light

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes now, let the small day drift away There is nothing left to carry, nothing left to say Just the hush before the dreaming comes for you

Chorus

Luna, Luna, rest your head down slow Every shadow in this room already knows You are loved beyond the reaching of the moon and back Sleep now, Luna, let the quiet grow

Verse 2

Somewhere past the window something wide and gentle flies Folding up the evening with a hush that never dies You don't need to watch it, you can let it pass It only came to tuck the stars in from the skies

Bridge

Let your small hands rest, let your breath run slow Nothing out there matters more than you, my Luna, so

Chorus

Luna, Luna, rest your head down slow Every shadow in this room already knows You are loved beyond the reaching of the moon and back Sleep now, Luna, let the quiet grow

Outro

The wings against the window have gone quiet, gone to rest You are held here softly, you are cradled, you are blessed

Verse 1

A soft amber light is creeping over the floor tonight Sliding past your door so warm and slow and bright You are wrapped in blankets, safe and snug and small Nothing in this quiet house can trouble you at all

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes now, let the day drift far away Hear how gentle everything has grown since dusk turned grey Sleep is calling softly, and it's calling you to stay

Chorus

Luna, Luna, drift away with me Sailing through the night so calm and free Luna, hush now, let your breathing slow Wherever dreams may take you, I will let you go

Verse 2

Somewhere past that door the whole wide world is turning still Yet here inside this room it's only you I feel Every worry folds itself away and disappears You are held so closely, there is nothing here to fear

Chorus

Luna, Luna, drift away with me Sailing through the night so calm and free Luna, hush now, let your breathing slow Wherever dreams may take you, I will let you go

Bridge

Rest your head, let go of every little sound Morning always finds its way to bring you gently round

Chorus

Luna, Luna, drift away with me Sailing through the night so calm and free Luna, hush now, let your breathing slow Wherever dreams may take you, I will let you go

Outro

That amber light will still be waiting when you wake Watching over you all night for goodness sake

Verse 1

Somewhere the metal wheels are clicking soft on distant tracks Warm in your blanket you don't need to hear it call Rattling windowpanes can't reach you here beneath the stacks Nothing tonight can touch you, nothing at all

Chorus

Luna, my Luna, close your eyes and drift away Every small sound is a hush to keep you sleeping deep Luna, my Luna, you are safe whatever comes your way Rest now, my darling, let the whole wide night keep

Verse 2

Far off a train hums low along a sleepy line Its rhythm rocks the dark the way I rock you now Nothing out there needs to trouble your closed eyes tonight Only the quiet, only my hand upon your brow

Pre-chorus

Let the clicking fade to nothing but a lullaby Feel how the warmth around you never means to go Sleep is coming closer, soft as a sigh

Chorus

Luna, my Luna, close your eyes and drift away Every small sound is a hush to keep you sleeping deep Luna, my Luna, you are safe whatever comes your way Rest now, my darling, let the whole wide night keep

Bridge

Even the rattling glass has softened to a hum Held in this room you are further than you know from harm

Chorus

Luna, my Luna, close your eyes and drift away Every small sound is a hush to keep you sleeping deep Luna, my Luna, you are safe whatever comes your way Rest now, my darling, let the whole wide night keep

Outro

Somewhere the wheels keep turning soft on tracks far away You are held here safely till the morning finds its way

Verse 1

The radio plays voices low And frost hangs silver, bright and cold Luna sits beside the glow Where all the kindest stories told

Everything is better when you're here Every carol sounds more clear This is where we want to be

Chorus

Luna, Luna, keep us warm tonight Singing over old songs playing soft You're the reason winter feels so right We gather close and hold you close

Verse 2

The table set with gathered light And someone laughs across the room Luna, you have made it bright We banish every hint of gloom

Chorus

Luna, Luna, keep us warm tonight Singing over old songs playing soft You're the reason winter feels so right We gather close and hold you close

Bridge

Stay beside us as we turn the year Let the frost fall all around us here

Chorus

Luna, Luna, keep us warm tonight Singing over old songs playing soft You're the reason winter feels so right We gather close and hold you close

Outro

The radio plays voices low And Luna's light will never go

Verse 1

Frost across the frozen pond today Bare branches bend beneath the snow Your footprints light the winter's way And that is all I need to know

Pre-chorus

Winter's here, the year turns slow Lights are burning soft and gold Luna, Luna, come back home

Chorus

Luna, you are what we're waiting for Every carol's singing out your name Round the fire we will keep the door Luna, you belong right here with us again

Verse 2

The table's set with empty chairs We miss the warmth that you would bring The season holds its breath and stares For you to walk back in the spring

Pre-chorus

Luna, you are what we're waiting for Every carol's singing out your name Round the fire we will keep the door Luna, you belong right here with us again

If you're far away tonight Know you're in our hearts so bright

Outro

Frost across the frozen pond tonight Luna, you're the light we're holding on to

Verse 1

Arms full of wet bags from the car Cardboard boxes stacked up to the stars Every mile of the journey shows But Luna, you made it through the frost

Pre-chorus

The table waits with lights all strung Wine poured and the carol half sung Come inside where the fire glows

Chorus

Luna's here, Luna's here, welcome home Frost melts where you belong Everything we've held feels whole again Luna's here, and we sing along

Verse 2

Laughter echoes down the darkened hall Shadows dance upon the wall Someone switches on the tree of gold And Luna, you've brought the winter in

Pre-chorus

The kettle steams, the year turns round All our waiting ends in sound Come inside where the fire glows

Chorus

Luna's here, Luna's here, welcome home Frost melts where you belong Everything we've held feels whole again Luna's here, and we sing along

Bridge

Wet coats hang and drip away We've got you now, you'll stay

Chorus

Luna's here, Luna's here, welcome home Frost melts where you belong Everything we've held feels whole again Luna's here, and we sing along

Outro

Cards on the mantle, lights strung through Luna's home, and so are you
