  Verse 1

  Brown feathers rest so quiet against the old chimney stone Softly they hold their warmth while the whole house breathes and sighs Nothing tonight can reach you, you are not out there alone Sleep pulls a gentle blanket low across the darkened skies

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere a small wing settles, folding the night in tight Hush now, the hour is gentle, nothing will ask you to wake Let your small breaths grow slower, matching the calm of the night

  Chorus

  Adrian, the dark is only feathers laid soft on stone Quiet as a wing that's found its warm and steady place Nobody will wake you, Adrian, you're never alone Sleep now in the hush that gathers gently round your face

  Verse 2

  Feathers brush the window glass so lightly you'd barely hear Some small thing outside is settling too, just like you should Nothing in this house tonight will bring you cause to fear Rest inside the calm that's held here since the day you could

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere a small wing settles, folding the night in tight Hush now, the hour is gentle, nothing will ask you to wake Let your small breaths grow slower, matching the calm of the night

  Chorus

  Adrian, the dark is only feathers laid soft on stone Quiet as a wing that's found its warm and steady place Nobody will wake you, Adrian, you're never alone Sleep now in the hush that gathers gently round your face

  Bridge

  You are held the way the chimney holds the warm feathers still Loved as steady as the roof stands quiet against the chill

  Chorus

  Adrian, the dark is only feathers laid soft on stone Quiet as a wing that's found its warm and steady place Nobody will wake you, Adrian, you're never alone Sleep now in the hush that gathers gently round your face

  Outro

  Somewhere the brown feathers rest, so still against the chimney stone Sleep now, small one, you were never once left out here alone

  Verse 1

  Beyond the cracked pane the dark sand is holding its breath and far white foam spreads soft as a promise of rest Nothing tonight can come looking for you here for every small sound is dissolving, and sleep is near

  Pre-chorus

  Let the tide pull the noise of the day out to sea let your shoulders forget every place they should be close your eyes now, and drift where I'm leading you to

  Chorus

  Adrian, the night is a hand laid so light on your chest and Adrian, you're carried while the whole world goes to rest Nothing out there in the dark means you any harm you are held, you are warm, you are safe in my arm

  Verse 2

  The window keeps watch so your eyes never have to the foam keeps on turning so nothing stays new Whatever the day asked of you, it is finished now and sleep is the softest of all the things I know how

  Pre-chorus

  Let the tide pull the noise of the day out to sea let your shoulders forget every place they should be close your eyes now, and drift where I'm leading you to

  Chorus

  Adrian, the night is a hand laid so light on your chest and Adrian, you're carried while the whole world goes to rest Nothing out there in the dark means you any harm you are held, you are warm, you are safe in my arm

  Bridge

  Somewhere the foam is still finding the shore quiet and steady, the same as before You don't have to watch it, you don't have to see only to rest here, exactly as sleepy as you need to be

  Chorus

  Adrian, the night is a hand laid so light on your chest and Adrian, you're carried while the whole world goes to rest Nothing out there in the dark means you any harm you are held, you are warm, you are safe in my arm

  Outro

  The foam keeps its slow watch on the far dark shore and I will keep mine till you're sleeping once more

• Under the Low Branches

  Glockenspiel · Twinkling · Simple

  A slow, glockenspiel lullaby that turns a quiet corner of the garden, wheels resting on damp mulch beneath low branches, into a picture of safekeeping for the child being sung to sleep.

  Verse 1

  Somewhere the wheels have gone quiet on the damp mulch tonight Tucked where the low branches lean down soft and slow Everything outside has settled into shadow and low light And you are the warmest thing that I know

  Chorus

  Adrian, Adrian, close your eyes now The dark is only a blanket pulled thin Nothing tonight can touch you, I won't allow Adrian, you are safe, you are held, you are kin

  Verse 2

  The branches keep their small quiet watch above the ground Holding the night the way I'm holding you Not one leaf stirs, not one small worried sound Only the hush that carries the whole night through

  Pre-chorus

  Rest your small head, let the evening grow still Let the wheels stay parked and the garden stay dim There's nothing to chase and nowhere you need to be until

  Chorus

  Adrian, Adrian, close your eyes now The dark is only a blanket pulled thin Nothing tonight can touch you, I won't allow Adrian, you are safe, you are held, you are kin

  Bridge

  Sleep is a soft road with no end in sight I will be here when the morning begins

  Chorus

  Adrian, Adrian, close your eyes now The dark is only a blanket pulled thin Nothing tonight can touch you, I won't allow Adrian, you are safe, you are held, you are kin

  Outro

  The wheels will still be waiting under the low, damp trees Sleep now, you are loved beyond any of these
