  Verse 1

  Watch the water find its way down the window glass tonight Every drop is in no hurry, and that is only right The room is losing all its edges, going soft and dim There is nowhere in this world you need to be but mine

  Pre-chorus

  Let the last light fold away and take its time Nothing out there needs an answer, nothing needs a sign So close your eyes and drift where the hush will let you climb

  Chorus

  Adeline, the dark is only quiet wearing softer clothes Nothing in this house will let you fall, that much I know Adeline, the rain is only singing you to rest Hold onto nothing but my voice, that will always be enough

  Verse 2

  The glass is cool but you are warm beneath my steady hand Somewhere past the window there's a whole and waiting land But it can wait for morning, it has never once complained Tonight the only place that matters is exactly where you land

  Bridge

  Let the raindrops race each other, nobody keeps the score Sleep is just a door that opens soft, not a closing door

  Chorus

  Adeline, the dark is only quiet wearing softer clothes Nothing in this house will let you fall, that much I know Adeline, the rain is only singing you to rest Hold onto nothing but my voice, that will always be enough

  Outro

  The water's slowing on the glass, the room has gone to grey Sleep now, and I will still be here to greet the day

  Verse 1

  Far down the shore the white foam turns so slowly over stone Every dark pebble kept and held, never once left alone Something is smoothing all the edges the whole night through And that same gentle hand is always, always holding you

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the tide pull the day away Nothing can reach you here where the warm dark waters stay Rest a little longer, there's no need to find the light

  Chorus

  Adeline, the night is yours and yours alone tonight Nothing in the wide dark world could ever dim your shine You are held the way the shore holds on to every tide Sleep now, sleep now, Adeline, you're safe and you are mine

  Verse 2

  The water never hurries when it comes to smooth the stone It only knows to keep on loving what it's always known So let the hours turn as slow as foam upon the sand There is nowhere in this world you're not held by a hand

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the tide pull the day away Nothing can reach you here where the warm dark waters stay Rest a little longer, there's no need to find the light

  Chorus

  Adeline, the night is yours and yours alone tonight Nothing in the wide dark world could ever dim your shine You are held the way the shore holds on to every tide Sleep now, sleep now, Adeline, you're safe and you are mine

  Bridge

  Whatever the day brought you, let it drift and settle now Somebody loves you softer than the tide loves the shore somehow

  Chorus

  Adeline, the night is yours and yours alone tonight Nothing in the wide dark world could ever dim your shine You are held the way the shore holds on to every tide Sleep now, sleep now, Adeline, you're safe and you are mine

  Outro

  Far down the shore the white foam still turns soft over stone Sleep now, little one, you are never, ever alone

• A Yellow Circle of Light

  Music box · Tender · Delicate

  A slow music box lullaby for settling a little one to sleep, built around the small warm glow of a lamp turned low on the floor.

  Verse 1

  The lamp is turned down to a small yellow ring on the floor Soft as a coin someone dropped from the moon above Nothing can reach you inside of this quiet, gentle glow You are the reason this whole house is wrapped in love

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the day slip off your shoulders Every worry can wait outside this door Sleep is coming soft and slow to carry you

  Chorus

  Adeline, the light is low and you are safe and warm Nothing in the dark tonight will ever cause you harm Adeline, you are the calm at the end of every line Rest your head, the whole wide world can wait until it's time

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window the stars are keeping watch for you Quiet as a lullaby that never needs to rhyme Every breath you take tonight is steady, slow and sure You were made to be adored, you were always mine

  Chorus

  Adeline, the light is low and you are safe and warm Nothing in the dark tonight will ever cause you harm Adeline, you are the calm at the end of every line Rest your head, the whole wide world can wait until it's time

  Bridge

  Hush now, there is nowhere else that you should be Just this small warm circle, just this you and me

  Chorus

  Adeline, the light is low and you are safe and warm Nothing in the dark tonight will ever cause you harm Adeline, you are the calm at the end of every line Rest your head, the whole wide world can wait until it's time

  Outro

  The lamp will keep its small round watch until the morning comes Sleep now, you are held inside that gentle yellow glow
