Moonlit Cradle

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Under my ceiling, slow and blue Your little hands cut through the room You drift like mist in a paper boat Round-eyed, quiet, holding hope [Pre-Chorus] And I reach up, but you keep rising Soft little moon in the washing light Mama’s heartbeat, steady and trying Keep you near me through the night [Chorus] Float, baby, float Stay in my arms, stay in my boat Float, baby, float I’ll keep you safe where the soft winds go (Float, baby, float) (Float, baby, float) [Verse 2] Your laugh falls down like silver rain Over the sheets, over the pain You kick the air with tiny sparks And turn the dark into a spark [Pre-Chorus] And I reach up, but you keep rising Soft little moon in the washing light Mama’s heartbeat, steady and trying Keep you near me through the night [Chorus] Float, baby, float Stay in my arms, stay in my boat Float, baby, float I’ll keep you safe where the soft winds go (Float, baby, float) (Float, baby, float) [Bridge] If the world gets loud outside I’ll be the tide, I’ll be the tide If the floor drops out beneath I’ll be the hands that lift you back [Final Chorus] Float, baby, float Stay in my arms, stay in my boat Float, baby, float I’ll keep you safe where the soft winds go (Float, baby, float) (Float, baby, float)
