Steady Breathing

(album: Stories From The Steeples - 2011)

Hush now sleep is coming
I'll keep my hand on your brow
Good night steady breathing now

It took a lot for you to say
So proud and strong but not today
There's so much that I can do
But I can't take this away from you

I say, hush now sleep is coming
I'll keep my hand on your brow
Good night steady breathing now

We've been through the how and why
It only serves to make us cry
Tomorrow you must brave the fight
But I won't leave alone tonight

Hush now sleep is coming
I'll keep my hand on your brow
Good night steady breathing now

Behind those eyes I know so well
The struggle now a living hell
Unspoken words but the truth remains
The enemy is running through your veins

And you have so very much
A children's love and a lovers touch
Hold on strong and don't let go
Tonight the stars are shining
Just for you, you know

I say, hush now sleep is coming
I'll keep my hand on your brow
Good night, steady breathing now
Hush now sleep is coming
I'll keep my hand on your brow
Good night, steady breathing now
Steady breathing now
