  Verse 1

  Soft foam slips over the pebbles and pulls away again far off a foghorn hums low like a friend nothing tonight is asking you to be strong you can just breathe and let the dark hum along

  Pre-chorus

  Hear how the water forgets every worry it holds feel how the warmth of this bed keeps out the cold close your eyes now, there's nowhere you need to be

  Chorus

  Alex, the tide won't leave you, it only comes near sleep now, my Alex, there's nothing to fear every wave that breaks is a hush meant for you Alex, the night keeps its promise, soft and true

  Verse 2

  Stones on the shoreline have waited through storms before quiet now, worn smooth, and needing nothing more you are held the same way, gentle and whole warm as a hand resting soft on your soul

  Bridge

  Somewhere a boat finds its way home by that sound turning through darkness till harbour is found you don't have to travel, you're already there

  Chorus

  Alex, the tide won't leave you, it only comes near sleep now, my Alex, there's nothing to fear every wave that breaks is a hush meant for you Alex, the night keeps its promise, soft and true

  Outro

  Let the foam settle soft where the pebbles lie still sleep now, you're safe, and you always will

  Verse 1

  Wool socks carry me so quietly across this old wood floor Every board complains a little, but you never even stir Painted rails around your crib are keeping out the world once more Nothing in this house tonight is half so precious as you were

  Chorus

  Alex, hush now, let the dark be kind Sleep is only love with the lights down low Close your eyes and leave the day behind Alex, you're the softest thing I know

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window, all the stars are settling in to rest Nobody could love a small warm weight the way that I love you Creaking floors have learned to whisper since they know you sleep the best Even shadows in this room are gentle, only passing through

  Pre-chorus

  Feel how slow the whole house breathes around you now Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will pull you far Let the quiet fold you up and show you how

  Chorus

  Alex, hush now, let the dark be kind Sleep is only love with the lights down low Close your eyes and leave the day behind Alex, you're the softest thing I know

  Bridge

  Every step I take is soft because you're worth the softness No sound too loud gets near you, none at all Rest inside the calm that only you could ask this house to hold

  Chorus

  Alex, hush now, let the dark be kind Sleep is only love with the lights down low Close your eyes and leave the day behind Alex, you're the softest thing I know

  Outro

  Wool socks pause beside the crib and all the boards go still Sleep now, Alex, you are safe, and always will

  Verse 1

  Dust is turning slowly in the porch light's golden hush Nothing hurries here tonight, no reason left to rush Every drifting speck of gold is floating soft and free And you are held as gently as that light holds onto me

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the evening settle on your chest Nothing in this whole wide world can trouble you at rest So let the hush come nearer now, and lean into the rest

  Chorus

  Alex, sleep is calling soft and low tonight Nothing in the dark can dim your light You are safe within this warm and quiet space Alex, dream a while in this small, peaceful place

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window all the stars are settling too Quiet falls around the house like it was made for you Every little sound tonight has softened to a hum Rest now, little one, until the morning light has come

  Bridge

  Nothing needs to happen now, no reaching, no demand Just the gentle rise and fall of breathing, slow and grand

  Chorus

  Alex, sleep is calling soft and low tonight Nothing in the dark can dim your light You are safe within this warm and quiet space Alex, dream a while in this small, peaceful place

  Outro

  Somewhere still that porch light glows and dust drifts on and on Sleep now, love, until you wake to find the warmth still shining strong
