Songs for Sam

Verse 1

The yellow wall is glowing soft while dust drifts slow through light Every little speck is floating gently past the switch You are curled up warm beneath the hush of fading night I would cross a hundred rooms to keep you safe like this

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes, the glow will stay right there until the morning Nothing in this house will stir or wake you before dawn Let the quiet wrap around you soft and slow and warm

Chorus

Sam, my dear one, sleep is calling low and sweet Rest your head, there's nowhere warmer you could be Nothing waits outside tonight but stillness at your feet Sam, you're held here safer than the deepest sea

Verse 2

The room breathes slow around you like it's holding its own hush Shadows settle gently where the lamplight starts to fade You don't need to know the hour or the reason for the dark I will keep the quiet close so you're not afraid

Bridge

Every breath you take tonight is one I'm counting too Sleep can come as slow as it likes, I'm not leaving you

Chorus

Sam, my dear one, sleep is calling low and sweet Rest your head, there's nowhere warmer you could be Nothing waits outside tonight but stillness at your feet Sam, you're held here safer than the deepest sea

Outro

The yellow wall keeps glowing soft while you drift off to dreaming I'll stay right here beside the light and watch you sleeping

Verse 1

Soft wool hangs loose past the denim so dark and so still Quiet has settled in gently across every windowsill Nothing tonight needs to hurry, nothing at all You are the warmth that is filling this room to the brim

Chorus

Sam, my heart folds soft and slow around you like a hand Sleep is a small quiet country and you are its plan Nothing can reach you in here, nothing at all Close your eyes, Sam, and drift where the calm waters land

Verse 2

Fingers once traced every thread hanging down past your knee Now they rest lightly on you, wherever you be Shadows are gentle tonight, soft at the door You are the reason this whole quiet room came to be

Pre-chorus

Hush now, the tassels are still and the lamp has gone low Breathe with the hush of the house as it settles down slow Something is waiting to carry you into

Chorus

Sam, my heart folds soft and slow around you like a hand Sleep is a small quiet country and you are its plan Nothing can reach you in here, nothing at all Close your eyes, Sam, and drift where the calm waters land

Bridge

Every thread of this room was woven to keep you warm Rest here, safe from the wind and safe from the storm

Chorus

Sam, my heart folds soft and slow around you like a hand Sleep is a small quiet country and you are its plan Nothing can reach you in here, nothing at all Close your eyes, Sam, and drift where the calm waters land

Outro

Wool still hangs quiet past denim gone dark in this room You are held safe here, wrapped soft in the hush and the gloom

Verse 1

Red lights glow soft through the glass out beyond the window pane Engines hum low like a tune only you understand The whole world is settling gentle into shadow again And you are the calmest thing held safe within my hand

Pre-chorus

The night pulls its blanket slow across the tired street Every hum and glow outside is turning into a hush And your breathing starts to match that soft and steady beat

Chorus

Sam, the light is fading kind and low Close your eyes, let the humming carry you along Sam, there's nowhere safer you could go Than right here where you belong

Verse 2

The tram bell rings far off and softer than a sigh Every sound out there is turning into lullaby Warm beneath the blanket while the cars slip past outside You are held and you are wanted, you don't have to try

Pre-chorus

The night pulls its blanket slow across the tired street Every hum and glow outside is turning into a hush And your breathing starts to match that soft and steady beat

Chorus

Sam, the light is fading kind and low Close your eyes, let the humming carry you along Sam, there's nowhere safer you could go Than right here where you belong

Bridge

Nothing out there needs you now, just rest and let it drift Sleep is a quiet harbour and you are its gentlest gift

Chorus

Sam, the light is fading kind and low Close your eyes, let the humming carry you along Sam, there's nowhere safer you could go Than right here where you belong

Outro

The taillights dim to nothing but the hum stays soft and low Sleep now, you are loved completely, and I won't let go
