Songs for Noah

Verse 1

The embers are dropping slow tonight Neither one of us moves toward the light We left our mugs on the stone You lean in and it feels right

Pre-chorus

I've got no big words to give you Just this fire and this quiet Something's building, and I want it to land

Chorus

Noah, this is easy, this is true Whatever kind of love, I choose you Not loud, not much to prove There's no version of this I'd undo

Verse 2

Smoke keeps climbing toward the dark You're still talking, low and slow I forget what I was going to say Watching how the light moves on your face

Pre-chorus

I've got no big words to give you Just this fire and this quiet Something's building, and I want it to land

Chorus

Noah, this is easy, this is true Whatever kind of love, I choose you Not loud, not much to prove There's no version of this I'd undo

Bridge

Let the fire go all the way to grey We don't have to chase the night I'd sit here cold before I'd leave Long as you're the one beside me

Chorus

Noah, this is easy, this is true Whatever kind of love, I choose you Not loud, not much to prove There's no version of this I'd undo

Outro

Morning comes, the ash goes cold But I'm still holding what we had

Verse 1

One glove caught up in the wire Nobody came back for it Everyone leaves something behind You never do, not one bit

Pre-chorus

Shirts are swinging, empty sleeves Reaching out for anyone But you reach out and mean it

Chorus

Noah, you're the one who stays Steady when the wind blows hard You could go and you don't go You're the still point in my yard

Verse 2

Storm clouds moving in on Sunday I should bring the washing in You're already out there folding Saving what the wind would win

Chorus

Noah, you're the one who stays Steady when the wind blows hard You could go and you don't go You're the still point in my yard

Bridge

I don't need the grand gesture Just you, staying, plain as that Some love shouts and some just shows up Yours is the kind that always does

Chorus

Noah, you're the one who stays Steady when the wind blows hard You could go and you don't go You're the still point in my yard

Outro

That glove's still hanging in the wire I leave it there to think of you

Verse 1

Wind took the bag right off the deck Watched it spin and climb and fall You laughed and grabbed the railing Said this crossing beats them all

Chorus

Noah, you're the reason I look up Even when the water's grey Something in you steadies me, Noah Like a hand that finds my hand and stays

Verse 2

Every crossing has its weather Some smooth, some rough, some in between I've watched you stand through all of it Calmer than the waves have been

Pre-chorus

I've been loved before, not held like this Not with a quiet I could lean on So tell me we're not nearly there yet

Chorus

Noah, you're the reason I look up Even when the water's grey Something in you steadies me, Noah Like a hand that finds my hand and stays

Bridge

Let the current pull however it wants I'm not letting go of this rail You're the one I'm crossing for

Chorus

Noah, you're the reason I look up Even when the water's grey Something in you steadies me, Noah Like a hand that finds my hand and stays

Outro

Somewhere that bag is still flying I'm still here, still holding on to you

Verse 1

The water has gone quiet and the boat has learned to rest With just one oar laid softly against the wooden side There is nowhere left to travel, nowhere better than your nest So let the dark come gently now and let it be your guide

Pre-chorus

Every little sound is settling low and slow tonight Your breathing finds the rhythm of the water and the shore So close your eyes and drift now, let go of holding tight

Chorus

Noah, Noah, rest here safe with me Calm as any harbour, calm as still Samoa Nothing here can touch you, nothing here can flee You are held and you are loved, my quiet little Noah

Verse 2

No current here will pull you, no current here will roam The whole night bends around you like a warm and gentle shawl Every star above is leaning closer to your home And even silence loves you, holds you steady through it all

Bridge

Rest the oar, there's nowhere we need go The tide will keep you gently, soft and slow

Chorus

Noah, Noah, rest here safe with me Calm as any harbour, calm as still Samoa Nothing here can touch you, nothing here can flee You are held and you are loved, my quiet little Noah

Outro

The boat has stopped its drifting, the oar is laid to sleep And you, my dear one, drift now into calm and quiet deep

Verse 1

Somewhere a lantern is glowing low in the garden tonight Dew has settled soft on a web that the spider wove You are the reason the dark has turned so gentle and mild Rest now, and let the whole garden slow

Pre-chorus

Every small light in that garden is watching over your bed Hushing the wind till it settles down to a murmur instead Close your eyes now, let the quiet in

Chorus

Noah, the lantern is burning soft just for you Nothing can reach you, no shadow gets through Sleep is a garden where nothing feels far Noah, you're held like the warmest star

Verse 2

Silver is caught in the web where the moonlight likes to rest Nothing is sharp here, the night has gone velvet and slow You are as safe as that thread swaying easy in its nest Breathe with the hush of the leaves as they go

Pre-chorus

Every small light in that garden is watching over your bed Hushing the wind till it settles down to a murmur instead Close your eyes now, let the quiet in

Chorus

Noah, the lantern is burning soft just for you Nothing can reach you, no shadow gets through Sleep is a garden where nothing feels far Noah, you're held like the warmest star

Bridge

Let the glow settle low where you lie Nothing will wake you, nothing will pass by

Chorus

Noah, the lantern is burning soft just for you Nothing can reach you, no shadow gets through Sleep is a garden where nothing feels far Noah, you're held like the warmest star

Outro

Somewhere that lantern keeps glowing on, steady and low and true And all through the night, it is glowing for you

Verse 1

Snow is falling soft on the glass while you drift off to sleep the leaves on the sill have gathered in their own quiet heap the radiator hums low, keeping the whole night warm you are the reason this small room has anything to keep

Chorus

Noah, the dark outside can't touch you here hush now, there is nothing in this night to fear close your eyes, let the hours grow slow and clear Noah, you are held closer than you know

Verse 2

Somewhere the wind is moving through branches bare and still but nothing cold can find its way past this warm sill every flake that falls is settling you deeper into rest you are worth more than all the hush the night can spill

Pre-chorus

Let the frost paint pictures on the window while you dream feel how the warmth stays gathered here, steady as a stream sleep is coming gentle now, soft as it can seem

Chorus

Noah, the dark outside can't touch you here hush now, there is nothing in this night to fear close your eyes, let the hours grow slow and clear Noah, you are held closer than you know

Bridge

Let the hiss of warmth be the only sound you need rest inside this quiet that was gathered just for you nothing in the world tonight will ask a thing of you

Chorus

Noah, the dark outside can't touch you here hush now, there is nothing in this night to fear close your eyes, let the hours grow slow and clear Noah, you are held closer than you know

Outro

Let the snow keep falling soft, the leaves stay piled and still you are safe inside this warmth, and always will be, love
