Things That Stay Awake

Verse 1 Small light on the table Soft and still and low Keeping watch beside me With a quiet glow The fridge hums in the kitchen The wind is at the glass Someone's always watching While the hours pass Chorus Not everything is sleeping Not everything is still The moon is slowly walking Over every hill Someone takes the night shift Someone holds the dark And all the world keeps breathing While you rest your heart Verse 2 A window far across the street Still burning in the night Someone's ending something long Someone's holding light The stars stay at their station The clouds drift soft and low The world goes on around you Easy, calm and slow Chorus Not everything is sleeping Not everything is still The moon is slowly walking Over every hill Someone takes the night shift Someone holds the dark And all the world keeps breathing While you rest your heart Bridge (più lento, quasi parlato) You don't have to watch it all You don't have to stay The world will do its quiet work And meet you the next day Outro (ripetuto in dissolvenza) Still breathing… Still here… Until morning…
