  Verse 1

  Grey wool is resting warm and soft across my knees tonight The rain is tapping on the glass so quiet, so light Somewhere the whole wide world is turning slow And you are here, held close, and everything is right

  Chorus

  Adam, the dark is only velvet come to call Nothing can reach you here inside these walls Sleep now, and let the hours grow small Adam, I'll be near you through it all

  Verse 2

  The lamp is low, the room has gone to amber and to hush The wind outside is only passing through the brush Nothing tonight will ever trouble you No need to fight the sleep, no need to rush

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes, the night has softened everything it holds Let your breathing slow to something warm and gold There is nothing waiting that could ever pull you far

  Chorus

  Adam, the dark is only velvet come to call Nothing can reach you here inside these walls Sleep now, and let the hours grow small Adam, I'll be near you through it all

  Bridge

  However far the night stretches on and on However long till morning comes with light You are the safest thing I've ever known Sleeping sound and sheltered through the night

  Chorus

  Adam, the dark is only velvet come to call Nothing can reach you here inside these walls Sleep now, and let the hours grow small Adam, I'll be near you through it all

  Outro

  The rain has softened to a whisper on the pane And you are wrapped in warmth that will remain

  A slow vibraphone lullaby for winding down a bedroom at night, built around a soft light circling the wall while a quiet voice keeps watch.

  Verse 1

  A steady beam turns slowly on the wall above your head It circles round so gently, never hurrying its light There's nothing here to fear now, only softness in its stead Just quiet shapes and shadows settling into the night

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the day go drifting out of view Every worry folds up small and quietly steps away There's nowhere you need be but here, all warm and held and true

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Adam, let the dark be soft and kind and slow Nothing here will ever sadden you while I'm this near You are loved beyond the reach of anything you know Rest now, Adam, you are safe, there's nothing you should fear

  Verse 2

  The room breathes low and easy while the beam keeps turning round It never stops to hurry, never rushes through the grey Somewhere past the window there's a hush without a sound And you are wrapped inside it as the night rolls gently away

  Bridge

  Whatever the day held, it can rest now too Morning waits its turn while the stars watch over you

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Adam, let the dark be soft and kind and slow Nothing here will ever sadden you while I'm this near You are loved beyond the reach of anything you know Rest now, Adam, you are safe, there's nothing you should fear

  Outro

  The beam turns slower now, so soft it barely seems to move And you are already dreaming, safe in all this quiet love

  Verse 1

  Far beyond the window, dark water meets the stones Softly calling out to you in quiet, patient tones You are held here closer than a shoreline holds the tide Warm and safe and wanted with your dreams tucked by your side

  Pre-chorus

  Every ripple settles slow, and so do you tonight Nothing out there in the dark will touch this gentle light Close your eyes now, let the hush come pulling soft and tight

  Chorus

  Adam, sleep is calling soft as water on the stones Nothing in this whole wide world will leave you here alone You were loved before you breathed your very first small sigh Sleep now, Adam, sleep beneath this calm and steady sky

  Verse 2

  Somewhere out beyond the sill the water moves so slow Carrying no worry with it, only room to grow Rest here where the night is kind and every hour is yours Wrapped up warm and certain, safe behind these gentle doors

  Chorus

  Adam, sleep is calling soft as water on the stones Nothing in this whole wide world will leave you here alone You were loved before you breathed your very first small sigh Sleep now, Adam, sleep beneath this calm and steady sky

  Bridge

  Let the far off water hum you low and slow Nothing you could dream tonight I wouldn't want to know

  Chorus

  Adam, sleep is calling soft as water on the stones Nothing in this whole wide world will leave you here alone You were loved before you breathed your very first small sigh Sleep now, Adam, sleep beneath this calm and steady sky

  Outro

  Somewhere still that water moves against the quiet stones You are safe here, always, never far from home
