Kirsty, Rest Your Eyes
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
A passing car sends light across the wall above your head
it slips along so slowly like a boat upon a bed
watch the bars of shadow drifting easy overhead
you are held here safely, nothing waits for you to dread

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the darkness wrap you soft and slow
feel your breathing settle into rhythms it will know
this whole wide house is quiet, keeping watch for you below

[Chorus]
Kirsty, hush now, let the night come drifting in
nobody is safer than you sleeping, Kirsty, in your skin
the shadows on the wall are only passing by unseen
sleep now, little Kirsty, let the quiet begin

[Verse 2]
Somewhere out beyond the glass the whole world settles too
cars and lights and voices fading soft the way they do
nothing out there needs an answer, nothing comes for you
just the gentle hush of evening folding soft and blue

[Chorus]
Kirsty, hush now, let the night come drifting in
nobody is safer than you sleeping, Kirsty, in your skin
the shadows on the wall are only passing by unseen
sleep now, little Kirsty, let the quiet begin

[Bridge]
Rest your small hand open, let it loosen from the day
let every worry drifting near just wander far away

[Chorus]
Kirsty, hush now, let the night come drifting in
nobody is safer than you sleeping, Kirsty, in your skin
the shadows on the wall are only passing by unseen
sleep now, little Kirsty, let the quiet begin

[Outro]
Watch the light slide gentle as the last car rolls away
you are loved here always, through the night and into day
