Songs for Wyatt

Verse 1

Boxes piled up in the kitchen half unpacked and no one cares because you walked in laughing and turned the mess into a fair

Pre-chorus

Somebody grab the horns and glasses let the paper bags stay stacked this whole house is about to

Chorus

Wyatt, light the candles now this is your day, own it loud nobody moves like you know how Wyatt, take a bow

Verse 2

You kick a box across the floor turn the chaos into song everyone here loves your timing you make the whole room belong

Pre-chorus

Somebody grab the horns and glasses let the paper bags stay stacked this whole house is about to

Chorus

Wyatt, light the candles now this is your day, own it loud nobody moves like you know how Wyatt, take a bow

Bridge

However far we've come to find you you're worth every single mile we'd cross a hundred kitchens just to watch you smile

Chorus

Wyatt, light the candles now this is your day, own it loud nobody moves like you know how Wyatt, take a bow

Outro

Leave the boxes where they landed you're the only thing worth toasting here

Verse 1

Muddy tyres against the door Green paint chipped from floor to floor Somebody's been out riding far We knew you'd land here once more

Pre-chorus

Every road you take gets narrow Every year you come back truer So grab a glass and hold it steady

Chorus

Wyatt, light the candles now Two more years since your last vow You could be quiet, you never are Wyatt, we're glad you're back somehow

Verse 2

You left your boots beside the wheel Still caked in dust from where you've been Nobody asks you where you went We're just happy you're back again

Sing it loud so the walls shake Cut the cake before it's late However far your tyres roam This green door calls you home

Chorus

Wyatt, light the candles now Two more years since your last vow You could be quiet, you never are Wyatt, we're glad you're back somehow

Outro

Lean your bike against the door We'll be here to greet you, always more

Verse 1

Old wheelbarrow rusting in the yard Cabbage leaves piled up, damp and hard Nobody looks twice, it's just a sight But you'd find something there worth the light

Pre-chorus

You see the worth in ordinary things You turn the plainest day to something it brings So let the candles catch and let this build

Chorus

Wyatt, Wyatt, make some noise tonight Cheer loud enough to start a little riot We're glad you're here, we're glad you stayed Happy birthday, Wyatt, don't be afraid

Verse 2

You laugh the loudest in a quiet room You chase the grey right out of any gloom Under clouds that never seem to part You're the warmest thing we've got, the brightest heart

Bridge

Another year of showing up for us Another year we count as pure gold dust Whatever falls, you make it feel alright

Chorus

Wyatt, Wyatt, make some noise tonight Cheer loud enough to start a little riot We're glad you're here, we're glad you stayed Happy birthday, Wyatt, don't be afraid

Outro

Even old cabbage leaves can shine Happy birthday, Wyatt, you're one of a kind

Verse 1

Close your eyes now, let the evening settle soft around you Lights slide slowly, painting gold across the quiet air Nothing here can reach you, nothing here will ever hound you Rest inside this rocking calm, so easy, free of care

Chorus

Wyatt, hush now, let the whole wide world grow still Riding gentle on the rhythm of my heartbeat's steady rhyme Wyatt, nothing in this night was ever built to spill Sleep is only love, dressed up and given time

Verse 2

Watch the amber wash and wander, drifting slow above your head Warm as any hand that ever chose to hold you near Every little shadow bends to soften round your bed Sleep will carry all you are and keep it here

Pre-chorus

Hear the seat creak low beneath this rocking, easy weight Feel how far away the morning waits before it comes So let your breathing slow and drift, there's no need to wait

Chorus

Wyatt, hush now, let the whole wide world grow still Riding gentle on the rhythm of my heartbeat's steady rhyme Wyatt, nothing in this night was ever built to spill Sleep is only love, dressed up and given time

Bridge

You are held here, safe as anything can be Wrapped in warmth that never once will let you fall Rest now, little one, and let the night be kind to thee

Chorus

Wyatt, hush now, let the whole wide world grow still Riding gentle on the rhythm of my heartbeat's steady rhyme Wyatt, nothing in this night was ever built to spill Sleep is only love, dressed up and given time

Outro

Sleep now, while the golden light slides soft above your head Rest easy, love will rock you gently to your bed

Verse 1

A thin stripe of light lies flat beneath the door tonight Waiting there so softly, patient, calm and warm and bright Close your eyes now, let the house go quiet around your head Nothing in the dark can reach you, safe here in your bed

Pre-chorus

Listen how the whole house settles into its own hush Even shadows in the corner slow their steady rush Somewhere just beyond your window, sleep is calling soft and low

Chorus

Wyatt, hush now, let the quiet wrap around you tight Nobody could love you more than we do here tonight Rest your small hand open, let the worry drift and go Wyatt, you are held here, safer than you'll ever know

Verse 2

Somewhere down the hallway, footsteps soften, then they still Every little sound tonight is gentle, none can spill You are wrapped in blankets warmer than the summer sun Dream a while of running fields when all the day is done

Pre-chorus

Listen how the whole house settles into its own hush Even shadows in the corner slow their steady rush Somewhere just beyond your window, sleep is calling soft and low

Chorus

Wyatt, hush now, let the quiet wrap around you tight Nobody could love you more than we do here tonight Rest your small hand open, let the worry drift and go Wyatt, you are held here, safer than you'll ever know

Bridge

Long after you're asleep we'll still be watching over you Counting all the ways this small quiet room loves you too

Chorus

Wyatt, hush now, let the quiet wrap around you tight Nobody could love you more than we do here tonight Rest your small hand open, let the worry drift and go Wyatt, you are held here, safer than you'll ever know

Outro

That thin stripe of light will still be glowing when you wake Watching over you all night for love's own gentle sake

Verse 1

Down where the river folds itself so slow and small reeds lean and listen for the hush before the fall water keeps the bridge's shadow safe and still you are the softest thing that I love best of all

Chorus

Wyatt, my quiet one, sleep is calling low and sweet hush now, Wyatt, let the whole wide night sit at your feet close your eyes and drift where nothing asks you to be brave you are held here gentle, Wyatt, warm from head to feet

Verse 2

Painted boards beneath the bridge are worn but holding fast nothing in this dark will ever move too fast you can rest against the calm that this old river keeps every worry of the day has quietly gone past

Pre-chorus

Somewhere past the reeds the current hums a lower tune breathe it in and let your tiny hands unclench and swoon sleep is drifting closer now like light beneath the moon

Chorus

Wyatt, my quiet one, sleep is calling low and sweet hush now, Wyatt, let the whole wide night sit at your feet close your eyes and drift where nothing asks you to be brave you are held here gentle, Wyatt, warm from head to feet

Bridge

Nothing here will wake before the morning finds its light you are safe as still water folded soft in night

Chorus

Wyatt, my quiet one, sleep is calling low and sweet hush now, Wyatt, let the whole wide night sit at your feet close your eyes and drift where nothing asks you to be brave you are held here gentle, Wyatt, warm from head to feet

Outro

Let the reeds go on brushing soft against the grey you are loved and you are sleeping, drifting far away
