Night Shift Wind-Down (Gentle Acoustic)

[Intro] (soft fingerpicked guitar) [Verse 1] The sun is coming up while I am heading home The streets are waking slowly, I am tired to the bone I hang my keys and badge beside the kitchen door The shift is over now, I do not need to carry more [Pre-Chorus] Pull the blinds and dim the day Let the morning fade away [Chorus] This is my night shift wind-down Lay the long hours on the ground Breathe in deep and let it go Every muscle soft and slow While the world is getting loud I can rest without a sound This is my night shift wind-down [Verse 2] I did my part tonight, I helped where I could help Now it is time to turn that kindness to myself A cup of something warm, a pillow cool and deep The daylight does not mean that I am not allowed to sleep [Pre-Chorus] Pull the blinds and dim the day Let the morning fade away [Chorus] This is my night shift wind-down Lay the long hours on the ground Breathe in deep and let it go Every muscle soft and slow While the world is getting loud I can rest without a sound This is my night shift wind-down [Bridge] Feet are heavy, hands are still Rest is earned and rest is real Close my eyes and count to four Nothing waiting at the door [Final Chorus] This is my night shift wind-down Lay the long hours on the ground Soft and slow, safe and sound This is my night shift wind-down [Outro] Wind it down... wind it down Rest now... safe and sound
