Settled Down

I'll keep my hand here on your back
I won't move it while you sleep
The shaking hours have settled down
Take all the help that you need

I put it on just like an evening dress
Parade to the right, sway to the left
In the morning everything is spent
And I make my way back home

What the wires couldn't catch
Fails to give a certainty
And the world stirs around
On the edge of all you see

I put it on just like an evening dress
Parade to the right, sway to the left
In the morning everything is spent
And I make my way back home

I put it on just like an evening dress
Parade to the right, sway to the left
In the morning everything is spent
And I make my way back home

Settled down, settled down
Settled down for the night

We can put blankets under the leaves
We can fill pages and keep on the dream
I set a good table, take all that you need
I can set more if you come back to me

We can keep sleeping, be late on the rise
We can stay novel with every surprise
I set a good table, take all that you need
They all remain open, you see what I mean

We will blur edges and rid every cage
We will push candles and feel every blaze
We set a good table, take all that you need
We set a good table, take all that you need

We will see colors that wonder and burst
We will raise glasses that rid every thirst
We set a good table, take all that you need
We set a good table, take all that you need

All you need, all you need, all you need
All you need, all you need

You put it on just like a hiding place
With three separate acts, that ends in disgrace
In the morning everything is safe
And you make your way back home

I put it on just like an evening dress
Parade to the right, sway to the left
In the morning everything is spent
And I make my way back home

Settled down, settled down
Settled down for the night
