  Verse 1

  Yellow light is pooling soft where the little buttons gleam Brass and gold are holding still inside this quiet, drowsy beam Nothing here can reach you now, nothing sharp or loud You are wrapped in warmth as deep as any river's dream

  Chorus

  Sleep now, sweet Alina, let the whole wide world go dim Close your eyes, Alina, drift on out to sleep's edge and swim Nothing waits to trouble you when morning comes again You are safe as anything, held soft within

  Verse 2

  Every little button holds a small and steady spark Watching over you tonight, keeping back the dark Breathe it slow, my darling, let your shoulders finally rest You have carried far enough, you can lay down your heart

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the lamp burn low and gentle where you lie Let the hours soften round you like a long, unhurried sigh Somewhere warm is waiting just to hold you as you fly

  Chorus

  Sleep now, sweet Alina, let the whole wide world go dim Close your eyes, Alina, drift on out to sleep's edge and swim Nothing waits to trouble you when morning comes again You are safe as anything, held soft within

  Bridge

  You are loved beyond the reach of any counting or of time Held inside a quiet only you and stillness understand

  Chorus

  Sleep now, sweet Alina, let the whole wide world go dim Close your eyes, Alina, drift on out to sleep's edge and swim Nothing waits to trouble you when morning comes again You are safe as anything, held soft within

  Outro

  Yellow light will still be burning soft when you wake up again You are held here, always, past the edges of the lamp

  Verse 1

  Somewhere a window is growing its small white ferns of frost but you are warm here, and nothing cold can find you the night keeps travelling on, and you are never lost the dark outside is soft, it will not remind you

  Pre-chorus

  Let your small breath slow to the hush that carries you let every worry melt like frost against the warm glass you are held so gently, closer than the night is to you

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Alina, the whole world can wait till morning hush now, Alina, there is nothing you should fear you are the warmest light this quiet night is holding sleep now, Alina, I am here, I am here

  Verse 2

  The bus rolls on through streets that no one else is watching but you don't need to watch, you only need to rest the glass may hold the cold, yet you are never touching it, wrapped instead in something warmer than a nest

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Alina, the whole world can wait till morning hush now, Alina, there is nothing you should fear you are the warmest light this quiet night is holding sleep now, Alina, I am here, I am here

  Bridge

  Every small fern of frost will melt when morning comes but the warmth that I have for you never leaves, never dims

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Alina, the whole world can wait till morning hush now, Alina, there is nothing you should fear you are the warmest light this quiet night is holding sleep now, Alina, I am here, I am here

  Outro

  Let the frost keep its patterns on the glass till the light you are already home, and home is warm tonight

• Grey Wool, Soft Light

  Rain and piano · Rain · Piano · Hushed

  A slow bedtime lullaby that turns the simple act of wool tangling on a lap into a promise of steady, sleepy love, gentle enough for the final wind down before sleep.

  Verse 1

  Grey wool threads are tangling softly on my knee tonight Somewhere past the window, the last of day gives up its light You are curled here breathing slower than the settling wool Warm and small and certain, wrapped in something peaceful and full

  Pre-chorus

  Rain is tapping quiet on the glass beside your head Nothing in this whole wide world can reach you in this bed So let your eyes grow heavy as the story softly ends

  Chorus

  Alina, sleep is calling soft and low and slow Close your eyes, my darling, let the whole night go Nothing here will hurt you, nothing here will roam Alina, you are held here, you are always home

  Verse 2

  My fingers keep on winding through the greying woollen thread While the piano hushes every worry from your head You do not need to wonder what tomorrow's hours bring Only need to listen to the rain and let it sing

  Pre-chorus

  Rain is tapping quiet on the glass beside your head Nothing in this whole wide world can reach you in this bed So let your eyes grow heavy as the story softly ends

  Chorus

  Alina, sleep is calling soft and low and slow Close your eyes, my darling, let the whole night go Nothing here will hurt you, nothing here will roam Alina, you are held here, you are always home

  Bridge

  Whatever comes tomorrow, you are loved this very way Held so gently closer than the fading edge of day

  Chorus

  Alina, sleep is calling soft and low and slow Close your eyes, my darling, let the whole night go Nothing here will hurt you, nothing here will roam Alina, you are held here, you are always home

  Outro

  The wool lies still and quiet now, its tangles all at rest You are sleeping softly now, the safest and the best
