Songs for Wendy

Verse 1

Dark pebbles drag back slowly through the foam and far off the white crests break and settle home the night is closing gentle round the shore while something warm keeps calling you back close

Pre-chorus

Every wave that rolls away comes rolling back again so let your busy little thoughts go drifting out with them and rest here while the dark turns soft and slow

Chorus

Wendy, Wendy, close your eyes, the night is warm and friendly nothing here will ever pull you further than an inch the world can wait till morning, calm and bendy Wendy, you are held so close, so safe, so loved

Verse 2

The water pulls the small stones out and lets them go but you are held much tighter than the tide could ever know no current in this wide and darkened sea could carry you from where you're meant to be

Chorus

Wendy, Wendy, close your eyes, the night is warm and friendly nothing here will ever pull you further than an inch the world can wait till morning, calm and bendy Wendy, you are held so close, so safe, so loved

Bridge

Hush now, let the far off water sigh and sink you are not the pebble dragging out beyond the brink you're the shore that stays, the warmth that does not roam

Chorus

Wendy, Wendy, close your eyes, the night is warm and friendly nothing here will ever pull you further than an inch the world can wait till morning, calm and bendy Wendy, you are held so close, so safe, so loved

Outro

The white crests settle soft and quiet on the sand and you can rest now, gathered gently, safe on land

Verse 1

Heavy leaves have folded softly over the lamp above your bed Holding back the light so gently till it's just a glowing thread Nothing here will hurry you before your dreams have all been said So let the hush wrap round you, little sleepy nodding head

Chorus

Wendy, close your eyes now, the dark is soft and kind Every little worry can be left so far behind Wendy, you are held here, safe and warm and lined With all the love that's watching, gentle, calm, and blind to time

Verse 2

Somewhere down below you wheels are resting, still and slow Nobody is pushing, nowhere left to go You can let your breathing settle soft and low Wrapped inside the quiet only sleeping children know

Pre-chorus

Feel how the night leans closer, gentle as a friend Nothing needs an answer, nothing needs to end Just this warm and lasting stillness we can send

Chorus

Wendy, close your eyes now, the dark is soft and kind Every little worry can be left so far behind Wendy, you are held here, safe and warm and lined With all the love that's watching, gentle, calm, and blind to time

Bridge

Sleep is just a small boat drifting without a sound Carrying you gently while the whole world settles down

Chorus

Wendy, close your eyes now, the dark is soft and kind Every little worry can be left so far behind Wendy, you are held here, safe and warm and lined With all the love that's watching, gentle, calm, and blind to time

Outro

Leaves will keep the streetlight gentle till the morning comes for you Rest now, little Wendy, in the quiet that stayed true

Verse 1

The white cotton lifts as the window breathes in slowly carrying the cool of the evening across the floor nothing in the dark tonight is sharp or unfriendly rest against the pillow, you don't need anything more

Chorus

Wendy, close your eyes now, let the whole house grow still the curtain sways so gently, easy and unhurried you are the softest thing this quiet room ever will hold and every breath you take here comes back to you unworried

Verse 2

Somewhere past the glass the wind is turning over slowly folding through the linen like a hand smoothing a sheet you don't have to listen, you don't have to hold anything just let your small body sink and settle into sleep

Pre-chorus

Nothing out there tonight is coming in to find you the dark outside the window only wants to hum along so let your shoulders loosen while the night keeps humming its song

Chorus

Wendy, close your eyes now, let the whole house grow still the curtain sways so gently, easy and unhurried you are the softest thing this quiet room ever will hold and every breath you take here comes back to you unworried

Bridge

However far the wind goes wandering tonight it always comes home softer than it left and so will every worry that you carry into sleep

Chorus

Wendy, close your eyes now, let the whole house grow still the curtain sways so gently, easy and unhurried you are the softest thing this quiet room ever will hold and every breath you take here comes back to you unworried

Outro

The curtain settles now, the window closes over quietly and you are held here safely till the morning comes
