Songs for Zoey

Verse 1

The candle by your bed is melting soft and low gold wax pooling gently where the warm light starts to go and it burns so easy, quiet in the room just to keep you golden in its slow and steady glow

Pre-chorus

Every little flicker settles down the way you do the wick holds still and calm the whole night through so close your eyes now, love, and let the hush come near you

Chorus

Zoey, the light is low and dreamy just for you you're the warmest thing this quiet room has ever known was true sleep is coming soft and slow and holding on to you Zoey, my glowy one, the night belongs to you

Verse 2

The wax runs down so slowly, pooling round the black tracing every softened edge without a single crack and you are just as gentle, curled up warm in white nothing in this whole wide dark could ever pull you back

Bridge

Rest now, the flame is dimming low and kind nothing in the shadows means to find you you are held by something steadier than light safe inside the calm that stays behind you

Chorus

Zoey, the light is low and dreamy just for you you're the warmest thing this quiet room has ever known was true sleep is coming soft and slow and holding on to you Zoey, my glowy one, the night belongs to you

Outro

The candle settles low and lets the dark come sweet and slow and you are still my warmest light, my Zoey, glowing so

Verse 1

Somewhere in the chimney the brick dust drifts down slow Settling like a blanket where the quiet embers used to glow You are held much gentler than that whisper falling low Safer than the softest thing that any house could know

Pre-chorus

Every little sound tonight is turning into rest Even shadows in the corner lean in soft against your chest Close your eyes, my darling, let the hush do the rest

Chorus

Zoey, the whole dark room is holding you so near Nothing needs to hurry now, there's nowhere far from here Zoey, you're the warmest thing this quiet house can hear Sleep is just another way of saying you're held dear

Verse 2

Old brick towers keep their heat long after the fire has gone Something in the walls remembers warmth and carries it along You will carry something soft no matter what comes on Wrapped in all the quiet love that this whole night has drawn

Chorus

Zoey, the whole dark room is holding you so near Nothing needs to hurry now, there's nowhere far from here Zoey, you're the warmest thing this quiet house can hear Sleep is just another way of saying you're held dear

Bridge

Let the small dust settle soft on every sleeping thing Let the hush inside this house be all the song you need

Chorus

Zoey, the whole dark room is holding you so near Nothing needs to hurry now, there's nowhere far from here Zoey, you're the warmest thing this quiet house can hear Sleep is just another way of saying you're held dear

Outro

Somewhere the brick dust settles soft and finally lies still Rest now, you are held as gently as the night can hold anything

Verse 1

A far off light is sliding soft across the ceiling white it wanders once and fades again like it was never there nothing in this room will ever come to bring you harm you are curled up safe and warm inside this quiet air

Chorus

Zoey, close your eyes now, let the darkness hum you low sleep is only kindness folding gently over you stars are keeping watch tonight though you don't need to know little Zoey, drift away, there's nothing you must do

Verse 2

Somewhere past the window cars are humming down the lane every beam that passes by is only passing through none of it can touch you, none of it can stay you are held much closer than the night could ever know

Pre-chorus

Hush now, let your breathing slow to match the falling dark the whole wide world is settling to something soft and small and sleep is waiting gently just beyond the edge of thought

Chorus

Zoey, close your eyes now, let the darkness hum you low sleep is only kindness folding gently over you stars are keeping watch tonight though you don't need to know little Zoey, drift away, there's nothing you must do

Bridge

Rest inside the hush that only night can give you were loved before this day and will be loved beyond it

Chorus

Zoey, close your eyes now, let the darkness hum you low sleep is only kindness folding gently over you stars are keeping watch tonight though you don't need to know little Zoey, drift away, there's nothing you must do

Outro

That far off light has gone now, gentle as it came sleep well, little Zoey, you are safe within this name
