Songs for Rebecca

Verse 1

A green marker sits between the pages holding open where we stopped weight of all that heavy paper light because you're what I've got

Chorus

Rebecca, you're the page I keep open Rebecca, you're the word I return to meanings shift and pages yellow nothing changes what is true

Verse 2

Dust collects on older covers corners bent from years of use still you find the one that matters still you know just what to choose

Pre-chorus

Every book has its lost places spines that crack and pages torn but you keep finding your way back to

Chorus

Rebecca, you're the page I keep open Rebecca, you're the word I return to meanings shift and pages yellow nothing changes what is true

Bridge

Some love shouts and some love whispers mine just marks the place and waits you don't need the grand gesture quiet holds the heaviest weight

Chorus

Rebecca, you're the page I keep open Rebecca, you're the word I return to meanings shift and pages yellow nothing changes what is true

Outro

Close the book, the marker holds it right where we left off, with you

Verse 1

Paper sleeves stacked by the player Nothing loud, no need to say more Just a needle finding its groove I keep the volume low for you to stay

Pre-chorus

No words needed in this room Just the hush before it plays And you, closer than the sound

Chorus

Rebecca, you're the quiet I choose Every song circles back to you Some hearts shout and some just hum With you it's always the second one

Verse 2

The stack grows taller every year Instrumental tracks, nothing to prove You hum along without the words I love that you don't need to move

Bridge

No chorus needed to know this is true Just the room, the record, and you Some things don't need a name But I'll say yours anyway

Chorus

Rebecca, you're the quiet I choose Every song circles back to you Some hearts shout and some just hum With you it's always the second one

Outro

Someday these sleeves will gather dust But you'll still be the sound I trust

Verse 1

I found four stones to hold you down smooth grey ones, better than a crown I pinned the corners of your day so nothing good could blow away

Chorus

Rebecca, you're the one I choose however this old world moves I'm not going anywhere from here Rebecca, hold me, I hold you as dear

Verse 2

The linen's yellow, soft and worn like something we have always known You laugh and the whole field agrees you settle everything, like these

Pre-chorus

I don't need paper vows or proof just grass beneath us, sky for roof Say my name and watch me stay for

Chorus

Rebecca, you're the one I choose however this old world moves I'm not going anywhere from here Rebecca, hold me, I hold you as dear

Bridge

Some loves need a grander stage ours just needs an afternoon, a page No fireworks, only this instead weight enough to hold what's said

Chorus

Rebecca, you're the one I choose however this old world moves I'm not going anywhere from here Rebecca, hold me, I hold you as dear

Outro

The stones are still here, holding fast and I'm still here, and this still lasts

Verse 1

Orange light is drifting soft across the frosted glass tonight Passing by so slow and gentle, dimming out of sight You are warm here, you are held here Nothing in this world could ever shine as right

Pre-chorus

The window fogs and blurs the world to nothing but a glow Every little sound outside is quiet, moving slow So let your eyes grow heavy now

Chorus

Rebecca, close your eyes and drift away with me There is nowhere calmer that you'd rather be Rest here where the lights are turning gold Rebecca, sleep is soft as it can be

Verse 2

The night rolls by in colours melting on the window pane Nothing out there ever needs to trouble you again You are safe here, curled up quiet Wrapped in warmth that never fades to plain

Chorus

Rebecca, close your eyes and drift away with me There is nowhere calmer that you'd rather be Rest here where the lights are turning gold Rebecca, sleep is soft as it can be

Bridge

Every flicker outside is a hush, not a warning Hold that thought until you meet the morning

Chorus

Rebecca, close your eyes and drift away with me There is nowhere calmer that you'd rather be Rest here where the lights are turning gold Rebecca, sleep is soft as it can be

Outro

The orange glow will still be waiting when you wake Sleep now, love, there's nothing you need to take

Verse 1

Your yellow wool socks sit alone on the wooden floor tonight Left by the stairs where the hallway lantern glows soft and low light Nobody needs them now, for your small feet have found their rest Curled up warm beneath the blanket that loves you best

Pre-chorus

Somewhere the house is settling, soft as a held breath Quiet is falling gentle, like snow before the rest Close your eyes now, darling, there's nothing left to fear

Chorus

Rebecca, sleep is calling soft and low Nothing in this house will let you go Rebecca, dream beneath the quiet stars You are held here, safe from where the dark air is

Verse 2

The open stairs stand still now, nobody climbing up or down Just moonlight resting easy on the floorboards, pale and round Somewhere past the window the whole wide world has gone to rest So let your small heart settle soft against your chest

Pre-chorus

Somewhere the house is settling, soft as a held breath Quiet is falling gentle, like snow before the rest Close your eyes now, darling, there's nothing left to fear

Chorus

Rebecca, sleep is calling soft and low Nothing in this house will let you go Rebecca, dream beneath the quiet stars You are held here, safe from where the dark air is

Bridge

Nothing here will wander, nothing here will stray Morning comes so gently, it will find you where you lay

Chorus

Rebecca, sleep is calling soft and low Nothing in this house will let you go Rebecca, dream beneath the quiet stars You are held here, safe from where the dark air is

Outro

Your yellow wool socks will wait by the stairs till morning comes So rest now, little one, beneath the hush of hummed songs

Verse 1

Green cups are cooling soft upon the table now waiting for morning like a patient friend Somewhere a clock ticks low against the quiet wood counting you gently to the day's soft end

Chorus

Rebecca, hush now, let the evening hold you close as the warmth that lingers in the room Nobody's rushing, no one's going to scold you sleep soft, Rebecca, under this kind moon

Verse 2

Steam has long faded from the green cups by the wall but something warmer stays here in your chest Darkness comes kindly, wrapping round the little hall and you are held the way you're loved the best

Pre-chorus

Nothing will wake you, nothing will come near only the hush of what has always kept you only the steady sound of someone here

Chorus

Rebecca, hush now, let the evening hold you close as the warmth that lingers in the room Nobody's rushing, no one's going to scold you sleep soft, Rebecca, under this kind moon

Bridge

Time moves slower once the ticking fades away and you are safe no matter what the hour

Chorus

Rebecca, hush now, let the evening hold you close as the warmth that lingers in the room Nobody's rushing, no one's going to scold you sleep soft, Rebecca, under this kind moon

Outro

The cups sit cooling, quiet on the table still and you sleep on, held safe until the light
