Songs for Morgan

Verse 1

I wipe the dust from the old sleeve Careful with the songs I believe You put this record on for me Morgan, that's how love came to be

Pre-chorus

The needle finds the groove again Slow like it knows just where and when And something in me starts to bend

Chorus

Morgan, you're the sound I choose Morgan, steady in these old blues Some nights we barely say a word You hum and I'm still, and I'm heard

Verse 2

You keep the sleeves in order still Line them up by your own quiet will I never asked you why you cared But you cared, and I was there

Bridge

No song we own says it plain But you play it again and again That's how I know what stays the same

Chorus

Morgan, you're the sound I choose Morgan, steady in these old blues Some nights we barely say a word You hum and I'm still, and I'm heard

Outro

I'll wipe this dust every year And love you plainer, sitting here

Verse 1

Two bags leaning on the wall Under the awning, out of the rain I stop and breathe when you're this close Every mile was worth the strain

Chorus

Morgan, you're the place I land Streets could shake and gardens flood Morgan, I would know your hand In a crowd, in the dark, in my blood

Verse 2

Nobody else waits like you wait Patient by the striped café You take one bag before I ask And that says more than words could say

Pre-chorus

I've counted doors that led me wrong Counted years I walked alone Then I hear you say my name

Chorus

Morgan, you're the place I land Streets could shake and gardens flood Morgan, I would know your hand In a crowd, in the dark, in my blood

Bridge

Whatever I'm carrying gets lighter here Set down easy, nothing to prove You don't ask why my hands are full You just reach for it, and I move

Chorus

Morgan, you're the place I land Streets could shake and gardens flood Morgan, I would know your hand In a crowd, in the dark, in my blood

Outro

Let the bags rest against the wall We're not going anywhere tonight

Verse 1

Paper tickets between two thumbs the timetable board clicks and hums any train we catch is fine because you're the one it becomes

Pre-chorus

I don't need to know where we're going just that your hand keeps on holding so tell me the platform, I'm ready

Chorus

Morgan, you steady every room I'm in calm as a held breath, warm as skin you're the reason clocks slow down I'd wait all day just to begin

Verse 2

Boards flicker, times rearrange nothing about this feels strange you look at me like it's simple and somehow, with you, it stays the same

Chorus

Morgan, you steady every room I'm in calm as a held breath, warm as skin you're the reason clocks slow down I'd wait all day just to begin

Bridge

Let every train pull out without us we'll catch the next one, no rush this is the part nobody photographs just thumbs, and tickets, and trust

Chorus

Morgan, you steady every room I'm in calm as a held breath, warm as skin you're the reason clocks slow down I'd wait all day just to begin

Outro

Hold the ticket, keep the seat warm I'll come find you, Morgan, whatever the platform

Verse 1

A feather drifts so slowly past the window where you lie A shadow moves among the pines and settles with the dark The whole wide world is folding up its noise beneath the sky And nothing in the night tonight can touch this quiet park

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes and let the hours grow soft and slow and low Let the branches hush themselves and let the light let go There is nothing you must carry now, nothing you must know

Chorus

Morgan, sleep is drifting gently down to find you here Every shadow at your window means no harm at all You are held and you are wanted, Morgan, always near Rest inside the calm that catches you before you fall

Verse 2

The feather turns and turns again like it forgot to land Something soft is watching over every breath you take The pines lean close together like they understand That you are worth this stillness that the whole night learns to make

Chorus

Morgan, sleep is drifting gently down to find you here Every shadow at your window means no harm at all You are held and you are wanted, Morgan, always near Rest inside the calm that catches you before you fall

Bridge

Somewhere past the glass the dark is turning warm and slow You are safe as roots are safe beneath the fallen snow

Chorus

Morgan, sleep is drifting gently down to find you here Every shadow at your window means no harm at all You are held and you are wanted, Morgan, always near Rest inside the calm that catches you before you fall

Outro

The feather settles somewhere soft and finally comes to rest Sleep now, Morgan, you were always held and always blessed

Verse 1

Watch the drops slide slowly down the darkened windowpane while the woollen blanket waits here, folded warm again nothing in the night outside can reach this quiet room you are held so gently here, safe from any gloom

Pre-chorus

Every drop that falls tonight is falling far from you the whole world is settling down the way it always do so let your breathing slow now, let your eyes grow heavy too

Chorus

Morgan, close your little eyes, the night is soft and kind hush now Morgan, drift away, leave the day behind you're the warmest thing in this whole quiet house tonight Morgan, rest here easy till the morning brings the light

Verse 2

See the blanket on the sill, it's waited there all day just to wrap around you now and keep the cold away every drop upon the glass is singing soft and low a small and steady lullaby for only you to know

Pre-chorus

Every drop that falls tonight is falling far from you the whole world is settling down the way it always do so let your breathing slow now, let your eyes grow heavy too

Chorus

Morgan, close your little eyes, the night is soft and kind hush now Morgan, drift away, leave the day behind you're the warmest thing in this whole quiet house tonight Morgan, rest here easy till the morning brings the light

Bridge

No one needs to hurry now, no one needs to wake only quiet, only rest, for tired eyes to take

Chorus

Morgan, close your little eyes, the night is soft and kind hush now Morgan, drift away, leave the day behind you're the warmest thing in this whole quiet house tonight Morgan, rest here easy till the morning brings the light

Outro

The drops have stopped their sliding now, the glass has gone still and you sleep as warm as blankets folded soft upon the sill

Verse 1

Foam is sliding soft over every grey stone tonight Somewhere far out a small light blinks and then it rests Sleep is coming in gentle on the tide so slow and light You are held here safer than a bird inside its nest

Chorus

Morgan, the water is hushing itself just for you Rest now, let the dark come soft as it can Every wave that rolls in knows just what to do Close your eyes now, gently, gently, Morgan

Verse 2

Somewhere past the pebbles the night keeps its own quiet time Little breaths are matching the slow pull of the sea Nothing in the dark tonight means you any harm You are wrapped up warmer than the tide could ever be

Pre-chorus

Listen to the light out there blinking soft and slow It only wants to tell you that you're not alone Let your tired eyes follow it wherever it may go

Chorus

Morgan, the water is hushing itself just for you Rest now, let the dark come soft as it can Every wave that rolls in knows just what to do Close your eyes now, gently, gently, Morgan

Bridge

Nothing out there can reach you, nothing can pull you from this shore You are safe as the pebbles the sea has known before

Chorus

Morgan, the water is hushing itself just for you Rest now, let the dark come soft as it can Every wave that rolls in knows just what to do Close your eyes now, gently, gently, Morgan

Outro

Somewhere the foam still moves soft over grey and quiet stone Sleep now, Morgan, you were never once alone
