Songs for Walker

Verse 1

Water running warm and low Suds are climbing up my arm Steam is fogging up the window Still I think you mean no harm

Pre-chorus

Nothing here is special made Just the dishes and the light But you walk in from the shade

Chorus

Walker, you make the small hours kind You turn the dull room bright I never have to search or find You're steady as the light

Verse 2

A cup goes under, comes up clean The bubbles rise and softly break You lean against the counter screen And ask me how my day was made

Chorus

Walker, you make the small hours kind You turn the dull room bright I never have to search or find You're steady as the light

Bridge

No grand thing ever had to happen For me to know this much is true It's just a sink, a plate, a pattern And somehow always leads to you

Chorus

Walker, you make the small hours kind You turn the dull room bright I never have to search or find You're steady as the light

Outro

The water's cold now, we should go But I'd stand here with you still

Verse 1

Fog on the glass, the numbers gone soft Morning comes in slow, not fast You breathe beside me, steady and warm I count your breathing through the storm

Pre-chorus

Time keeps blurring at the edge You're the one clear thing I hold Pulling me past what I was told

Chorus

Walker, you're the calm in every room Nothing sharp when you walk through Every clock I own runs slow with you Walker, this feeling still comes true

Verse 2

We don't need the hour or the day Your hand finds mine the same old way Steam on the mirror, steam on the pane Nothing about you feels like rain

Pre-chorus

Time keeps blurring at the edge You're the one clear thing I hold Pulling me past what I was told

Chorus

Walker, you're the calm in every room Nothing sharp when you walk through Every clock I own runs slow with you Walker, this feeling still comes true

Bridge

No numbers left to read at all Just your voice low against the wall I don't need the minutes anymore

Chorus

Walker, you're the calm in every room Nothing sharp when you walk through Every clock I own runs slow with you Walker, this feeling still comes true

Outro

The glass has cleared, the numbers plain Still, it's you I'd choose again

Verse 1

Wind is pulling at the line Every peg is holding fast Nothing here is coming loose You were built to make things last

Pre-chorus

I keep looking at the sky Waiting for it all to fall But you don't so much as sway

Chorus

Walker, you're the steady kind Nothing shakes you, nothing can Storms come through and you don't mind You just hold the way you plan

Verse 2

Denim's soaked but still it's caught Twisting hard against the rope I forget to worry now You're the reason I keep hope

Pre-chorus

I keep looking at the sky Waiting for it all to fall But you don't so much as sway

Chorus

Walker, you're the steady kind Nothing shakes you, nothing can Storms come through and you don't mind You just hold the way you plan

Bridge

Some love loud and some love long You just love like you were told Quiet as a wooden peg Sure as hemp against the cold

Chorus

Walker, you're the steady kind Nothing shakes you, nothing can Storms come through and you don't mind You just hold the way you plan

Outro

Let the wind do what it wants You're still hanging where you were

Verse 1

Heavy flakes are sticking soft to the streetlamp glass tonight Falling slow like they've got nowhere else at all to be Everything outside is turning quiet, turning white And you are warm and certain, safe as anyone could be

Chorus

Walker, Walker, let the whole wide world go still Nothing out there in the dark can climb this windowsill Walker, close your eyes and rest against my arm Nothing touches you tonight, you're held and you are warm

Verse 2

The lamp outside is glowing low beneath its coat of snow Painting soft gold circles on the frosted window pane Wherever this long night decides to go You are the warmest thing that I will ever hold again

Pre-chorus

Listen how the falling snow has hushed the whole wide street Nothing needs to hurry now, no reason left to keep Just this quiet, just this warmth, just you about to sleep

Chorus

Walker, Walker, let the whole wide world go still Nothing out there in the dark can climb this windowsill Walker, close your eyes and rest against my arm Nothing touches you tonight, you're held and you are warm

Bridge

Let the snow keep falling soft on every roof and tree Nothing that it covers could be loved as much as you Sleep now, and let all your dreaming be

Chorus

Walker, Walker, let the whole wide world go still Nothing out there in the dark can climb this windowsill Walker, close your eyes and rest against my arm Nothing touches you tonight, you're held and you are warm

Outro

The lamp still glows behind its quiet blanket of falling snow And you sleep on, held safe, the warmest light I know

Verse 1

Somewhere a beam turns slow above the black salt spray sweeping the cliffs to carry all the dark away and here in this room the same soft turning glow wraps around you gently as you settle low

Pre-chorus

The waves outside are hushing, folding into foam every rolling wave is only rocking you home and nothing in the night has found a way to stay

Chorus

Walker, Walker, the light comes sweeping round for you turning slow and steady just to see you through hush now, Walker, let the tide pull sleep in near you are held, you are wanted, there is nothing here to fear

Verse 2

The cliffs stand quiet, holding back the reaching sea and I stand quiet too, just holding on to thee the spray falls soft as breath against the ancient stone while you drift somewhere warmer than you've ever known

Pre-chorus

The waves outside are hushing, folding into foam every rolling wave is only rocking you home and nothing in the night has found a way to stay

Chorus

Walker, Walker, the light comes sweeping round for you turning slow and steady just to see you through hush now, Walker, let the tide pull sleep in near you are held, you are wanted, there is nothing here to fear

Bridge

Let the dark be soft as water, let the hours turn to rest you are the calm the whole night keeps against its chest

Chorus

Walker, Walker, the light comes sweeping round for you turning slow and steady just to see you through hush now, Walker, let the tide pull sleep in near you are held, you are wanted, there is nothing here to fear

Outro

Somewhere that beam still turns above the quiet spray and you are safe and sleeping as it sweeps the dark away

Verse 1

Something small is rolling gently under the blanket by your knee and the whole wide house has settled down to nothing else but thee the lamp is low and the window's dark this is the softest hour you'll ever see

Pre-chorus

Every little sound has folded up and gone to rest the blue wool's pulled up warm across your chest so let your eyes grow heavy, let the day go

Chorus

Walker, the night has nothing left to ask of you hold onto sleep the way the dark holds on to dew you are the calmest thing this quiet house has known Walker, there's nowhere gentler than right here with you

Verse 2

Somewhere beneath the springs a tiny weight keeps drifting still a small round wandering that means no harm and never will your breathing slows to match the hush and everything tonight is standing very still

Pre-chorus

Every little sound has folded up and gone to rest the blue wool's pulled up warm across your chest so let your eyes grow heavy, let the day go

Chorus

Walker, the night has nothing left to ask of you hold onto sleep the way the dark holds on to dew you are the calmest thing this quiet house has known Walker, there's nowhere gentler than right here with you

Bridge

Rest now, you don't have to hold on to a single thing let the whole day loosen and slip off like a ring nothing is asked of you but this soft, slow drifting in

Chorus

Walker, the night has nothing left to ask of you hold onto sleep the way the dark holds on to dew you are the calmest thing this quiet house has known Walker, there's nowhere gentler than right here with you

Outro

Somewhere under the blanket the last small motion has come to rest and so have you, held here, and warmly blessed
