  Verse 1

  Dust is turning slow in the last light of the hall catching every colour as it drifts along the wall and nothing in this house is asking you to hurry so let the evening settle without any kind of worry

  Pre-chorus

  The quiet is a blanket that the whole room seems to wear and every little sound tonight is softened in the air so close your eyes and drift to where I'm taking you

  Chorus

  Ada, the light is low and gold along the floor Ada, you are so loved, you couldn't be loved more the whole wide house breathes slow around where you lie and I'll be right here watching as the hours drift by

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window the evening folds up small and the hallway light goes gentle on the wall you don't need to hold on to a single thing tonight just let go and rest inside this warm and quiet light

  Bridge

  Rest your small hands, let your breathing slow right down there's nothing waiting for you but the softness all around

  Chorus

  Ada, the light is low and gold along the floor Ada, you are so loved, you couldn't be loved more the whole wide house breathes slow around where you lie and I'll be right here watching as the hours drift by

  Outro

  The dust has settled soft where the hallway light has been sleep now, little one, in the gold and gentle in between

  Verse 1

  The lace by the window is barely moving now Only a breath of night could stir it somehow Everything past the glass has gone soft and slow And you are the warmest thing I know how to hold

  Chorus

  Ada, the room is holding its breath for you Nothing tonight is sharper than it needs to be, Ada Sleep is only a door that opens later Close your eyes, love, there is nothing you have to do

  Verse 2

  The white of the cot is glowing soft in the dark Small enough now to fit in the corner of my arm Somewhere outside the wind is turning over leaves But nothing gets past this window while you dream

  Pre-chorus

  I will stay here longer than the candle can burn Longer than the curtain takes to settle and turn Watching you drift where the quiet things belong

  Chorus

  Ada, the room is holding its breath for you Nothing tonight is sharper than it needs to be, Ada Sleep is only a door that opens later Close your eyes, love, there is nothing you have to do

  Bridge

  Hush now, the whole house is turning down its light Every small sound is folding into night

  Chorus

  Ada, the room is holding its breath for you Nothing tonight is sharper than it needs to be, Ada Sleep is only a door that opens later Close your eyes, love, there is nothing you have to do

  Outro

  The lace will still be there when the morning comes in soft And you will still be loved exactly as you are now

  Harp lullaby · Harp · Gentle · Flowing

  A slow harp lullaby for settling a baby or young child to sleep, built around the hush of a downstairs clock keeping quiet watch over the house.

  Verse 1

  Downstairs the old clock keeps its slow and steady swing Behind the glass it moves without a single sound You are held so gently in the peace that it can bring While all the house lies soft and still around

  Pre-chorus

  The hour hand is patient and it never has to hurry Every tick is soft as breath, there's nothing left to worry So close your eyes, my love, and let the quiet carry you

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Ada, the whole night is holding you near Nothing will wake you, nothing will find you here Ada, you are safer than the softest thing, my dear Wrapped in the warmth that never has to disappear

  Verse 2

  The pendulum keeps swinging though nobody's watching it It doesn't need an audience to keep its promise true And that's how you are loved here, quiet as it, just as fit A steady kind of loving that will always follow you

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Ada, the whole night is holding you near Nothing will wake you, nothing will find you here Ada, you are safer than the softest thing, my dear Wrapped in the warmth that never has to disappear

  Bridge

  Every small hour is passing gently by No need to count them, no need to ask them why Rest here where the dark is only ever kind

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Ada, the whole night is holding you near Nothing will wake you, nothing will find you here Ada, you are safer than the softest thing, my dear Wrapped in the warmth that never has to disappear

  Outro

  Somewhere down below the clock is swinging on for you Keeping time so softly while you dream the whole night through
