  Verse 1

  Somewhere below a chair is creaking soft and low Rocking out a rhythm only quiet hearts can know Under the boards the old house breathes so slow Albert, that sound is just for you, so let it go

  Pre-chorus

  Every creak below is saying you are held Nothing in this house has ever felt so well kept Close your eyes now, let the whole night melt

  Chorus

  Albert, Albert, sleep is calling soft and near Nothing in the dark tonight will ever bring you fear You are wrapped in every warm and gentle year Rest now Albert, there is nothing you should fear

  Verse 2

  Wicker bends the way a hand bends round a small held thing Careful, patient, holding you through every wandering You are the reason this old floor still likes to sing Albert, you're the softest kind of everything

  Chorus

  Albert, Albert, sleep is calling soft and near Nothing in the dark tonight will ever bring you fear You are wrapped in every warm and gentle year Rest now Albert, there is nothing you should fear

  Bridge

  Even when the house goes still and no one makes a sound Love keeps rocking gently, quiet, safe and round You will always be the softest thing that's found

  Chorus

  Albert, Albert, sleep is calling soft and near Nothing in the dark tonight will ever bring you fear You are wrapped in every warm and gentle year Rest now Albert, there is nothing you should fear

  Outro

  Somewhere below, the wicker settles into rest Sleep now, Albert, you were always, always blessed

  Verse 1

  The little radio hums low upon the drawers tonight Its quiet static fills the room with something soft and right You settle deeper into blankets, warm against my arm Nothing in this world tonight will ever bring you harm

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the hush come drifting in Feel the warmth begin to hold you, soft as skin Sleep is waiting gently just beyond the light

  Chorus

  Albert, the night is yours to keep Wrapped up so safely, drifting deep in sleep Nobody's dearer, nobody's held so tight Albert, my Albert, sleep through the night

  Verse 2

  Somewhere behind the hiss a whisper hums a lullaby Soft as the breath that rises slow with every sigh You curl your fingers round the blanket's edge so light Held here forever, safe within the fading light

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the hush come drifting in Feel the warmth begin to hold you, soft as skin Sleep is waiting gently just beyond the light

  Chorus

  Albert, the night is yours to keep Wrapped up so safely, drifting deep in sleep Nobody's dearer, nobody's held so tight Albert, my Albert, sleep through the night

  Bridge

  Rest now, let the static hum you low and slow Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will go

  Chorus

  Albert, the night is yours to keep Wrapped up so safely, drifting deep in sleep Nobody's dearer, nobody's held so tight Albert, my Albert, sleep through the night

  Outro

  Somewhere the radio murmurs on, soft and low Sleep now, Albert, safe in all I know

• Snow at the Window

  Humming choir · Choir · Wordless · Warm

  A slow, hushed lullaby for settling a little one to sleep, built around the warm glow of a lamp against the falling snow outside.

  Verse 1

  Snow is falling soft and slow past the window glass tonight Every flake is drifting down to where you rest so still Watch the lamplight gold and warm hold back the winter white Nothing cold can reach you here, tucked beneath the sill

  Pre-chorus

  Outside the glass the whole wide world is turning slow and blue But here inside this small warm room there's only me and you So let the hush come gather round and carry you off soon

  Chorus

  Albert, close your eyes now, let the lamplight hold you tight Nothing in the snowfall ever needs to trouble you tonight Albert, you're the warmest thing inside this quiet night Rest here safe as embers glowing soft and gold and bright

  Verse 2

  The glass is cold but you are warm beneath the blankets deep Every falling flake outside is singing you to sleep I see your small face in the window, calm before you dream Nothing out there in the dark is half as bright, it seems

  Bridge

  Let the snow keep falling, let the lamp burn low and slow You are held here closer than the whole wide world can know

  Chorus

  Albert, close your eyes now, let the lamplight hold you tight Nothing in the snowfall ever needs to trouble you tonight Albert, you're the warmest thing inside this quiet night Rest here safe as embers glowing soft and gold and bright

  Outro

  Snow will keep on falling soft while you are fast asleep Warm behind the window glass, forever yours to keep
