Songs for Natalia

Verse 1

The railing shakes beneath both hands salt air moving slow and low you lean in closer where you stand and something in me starts to know

Pre-chorus

Foam keeps rising, falling white nothing here is standing still but you're the one thing holding tight

Chorus

Natalia, you're the calm inside the noise hold on tighter, feel the water climb you're the reason my hands stop shaking Natalia, you and me, we've got time

Verse 2

Waves keep coming, one by one you don't flinch when the spray comes through funny how the loud world hushes the moment I turn to look at you

Bridge

Metal rusting, cold and true still it holds us, me and you

Chorus

Natalia, you're the calm inside the noise hold on tighter, feel the water climb you're the reason my hands stop shaking Natalia, you and me, we've got time

Outro

The railing's older, we're still here you're the steady I hold near

Verse 1

Boots on the boardwalk, creaking slow Green water under, still and low I walk this plank the way I know you Careful steps, but I still trust you

Pre-chorus

Nothing here is new or shiny Just old wood that holds us fine, aye And that's enough to lean my whole life on

Chorus

Natalia, you're the steady kind No performance, no need to unwind Every plank could crack, I would not fail ya I'd choose this creak again, Natalia

Verse 2

The algae clings to every beam You're not something I just dreamed You're the hand that steadies mine out here Real weight, real ground, no far off idea

Bridge

I don't need the view to be grand Just this plank, and your hand

Chorus

Natalia, you're the steady kind No performance, no need to unwind Every plank could crack, I would not fail ya I'd choose this creak again, Natalia

Outro

Boots still creaking, water still green Still the calmest love I've seen

Verse 1

I saw the grass locked still in ice every stalk kept safe and precise nothing lost, nothing let go and that's how I hold you twice

Pre-chorus

You never asked to be kept this way but I couldn't help it, come what may now I can't picture letting you go

Chorus

Natalia, you're the calm I choose the one thing I never mean to lose you make the ordinary feel like grace Natalia, there's no one I'd trade for you

Verse 2

Some loves burn and disappear some just settle, staying near you're the kind that lasts the whole way through clear and steady, year on year

Chorus

Natalia, you're the calm I choose the one thing I never mean to lose you make the ordinary feel like grace Natalia, there's no one I'd trade for you

Bridge

Winter comes and nothing seems to move but underneath, the green stays true that's how you are when things go quiet still alive, still close to me and you

Chorus

Natalia, you're the calm I choose the one thing I never mean to lose you make the ordinary feel like grace Natalia, there's no one I'd trade for you

Outro

Let the frost come down and stay you're the green I'll never lose beneath the grey

Verse 1

Far off in the grass the metal tracks are clicking soft a tiny rhythm drifting up to where you lie aloft nothing in the dark tonight would ever cause you harm you are folded up so snug inside this quiet warm

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes and let the small sounds carry you along every click and hush is humming like a lazy song the night is only holding you the way it should

Chorus

Natalia, the grass is swaying slow beyond the pane hush now, let the distant clicking ease away the day you are loved beyond the reach of anything that strays Natalia, sleep is coming soft to take you home again

Verse 2

Somewhere down the line a train is drifting far away carrying its noise so gently it could almost stay nobody could touch this stillness wrapped around your bed safe beneath the blankets with your sleepy little head

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes and let the small sounds carry you along every click and hush is humming like a lazy song the night is only holding you the way it should

Chorus

Natalia, the grass is swaying slow beyond the pane hush now, let the distant clicking ease away the day you are loved beyond the reach of anything that strays Natalia, sleep is coming soft to take you home again

Bridge

Rest now while the world goes on without a single sound let the whole wide night keep watch and gather you around nothing needs your waking, nothing needs your eyes tonight

Chorus

Natalia, the grass is swaying slow beyond the pane hush now, let the distant clicking ease away the day you are loved beyond the reach of anything that strays Natalia, sleep is coming soft to take you home again

Outro

Somewhere still the tracks are clicking soft among the grass and you are sleeping sound while all that gentle sound goes past

Verse 1

The lake lies still beneath the hanging branches overhead Softly the oar goes down and lifts without a sound You are the reason this small boat is rowing on Safe in the dark, no harm will find you, none is bound

Pre-chorus

Hush now, the water holds us gentle as it goes Nothing will wake you, nothing here will let you fall Close your eyes now, feel how slow the whole night flows

Chorus

Natalia, sleep is calling soft and low tonight Every ripple hums a hymn to keep you near Deeper than the lake, Natalia, you are held so tight Nothing in the dark will ever touch you here

Verse 2

The branches lean to listen as we drift along You breathe as quiet as the water breathes below Every star has bent down closer just to hear your song Wrapped in night, you are the warmest thing I know

Chorus

Natalia, sleep is calling soft and low tonight Every ripple hums a hymn to keep you near Deeper than the lake, Natalia, you are held so tight Nothing in the dark will ever touch you here

Bridge

Let the oar dip slower now, there's nowhere far to go You are already home, wherever this boat may roam

Chorus

Natalia, sleep is calling soft and low tonight Every ripple hums a hymn to keep you near Deeper than the lake, Natalia, you are held so tight Nothing in the dark will ever touch you here

Outro

The oar comes still, the water settles into glass Sleep now, Natalia, safe until the night has passed

Verse 1

The window wears a hundred tiny rivers tonight sliding slow past orange light, so soft, so bright and you are warm here on the inside watching quiet colours drift and settle out of sight

Pre-chorus

Every drop is taking its time, in no rush at all the whole wide dark can wait outside that wall and your breathing slows to match the fall

Chorus

Natalia, the night is holding you so gently now close your eyes, let the glow show you how nothing out there can reach this room, my love Natalia, sleep is a warm and easy vow

Verse 2

Somewhere past the glass the streetlamps hum their low old song humming just for you the whole night long and every drip that slides on down is small and slow tracing paths that never do you any wrong

Bridge

Rest your small hand soft against the warm side of the pane let the outside blur to gold and rain you are the safest thing this whole street holds

Chorus

Natalia, the night is holding you so gently now close your eyes, let the glow show you how nothing out there can reach this room, my love Natalia, sleep is a warm and easy vow

Outro

The window still holds its hundred rivers, sliding slow and you are held here too, warm and low
