Lights Going Home
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
Two silver lights are drifting past the dark and quiet glass
They blink so soft and far away, then gently they are gone
Nothing out there in the night has any power over you
Sleep is a small warm room and you are safe inside it, Phyllis

[Pre-chorus]
The lights outside are only passing, they were never staying long
Your breathing slows to something even, deeper than a sigh
Hold on to nothing but the hush that's settling all around you

[Chorus]
Phyllis, close your eyes now, let the whole wide house grow still
There's nothing in the dark tonight that means you any harm
Sleep will carry you so gently over every little hill
Phyllis, you are held here, safe and steady in my arm

[Verse 2]
The glass is cool and quiet, holding back the wind outside
While you are warm beneath the blanket, breathing slow and deep
Every light that passes by is winking you goodnight
And leaves you to the softness of a long and easy sleep

[Chorus]
Phyllis, close your eyes now, let the whole wide house grow still
There's nothing in the dark tonight that means you any harm
Sleep will carry you so gently over every little hill
Phyllis, you are held here, safe and steady in my arm

[Bridge]
Rest now, let the night be nothing but a gentle friend
Nobody could love you more than you are loved this minute

[Chorus]
Phyllis, close your eyes now, let the whole wide house grow still
There's nothing in the dark tonight that means you any harm
Sleep will carry you so gently over every little hill
Phyllis, you are held here, safe and steady in my arm

[Outro]
The little lights have faded now, the window's dark and still
You are already drifting where no worry ever will
