  Verse 1

  A white beam turns slowly across the old cracked tile above you It circles like it's guarding you from anything unkind Nothing in this room tonight would ever want to trouble you You are so completely loved, you are so hard to find

  Pre-chorus

  Let your small hands soften now and let your breathing slow The house is holding still for you, the dark is warm and kind Close your eyes and let the quiet gently carry you and go

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Alys, in the hush of this small palace Nothing here can touch you, nothing means you harm There's no room tonight for any kind of malice Only you, my Alys, wrapped up safe and warm

  Verse 2

  The night outside is patient and it never means to hurry You've got till morning wrapped around you like a gentle arm No need to fight the sleep that's coming, no need ever to worry Whatever waits tomorrow cannot touch you, cannot harm

  Bridge

  Somewhere the stars are turning too, slow as that light above Watching over someone small who's held in so much love

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Alys, in the hush of this small palace Nothing here can touch you, nothing means you harm There's no room tonight for any kind of malice Only you, my Alys, wrapped up safe and warm

  Outro

  The beam keeps turning gently on that same old cracked ceiling Sleep now, you are certain, you are wanted, you are held

  Verse 1

  A strip of yellow light lies across the worn old rug and somewhere past your door the house breathes low and slow that thin gold line will keep its watch till morning holding the dark back gently, keeping it from you

  Chorus

  Alys, the night has folded soft around you now every corner of this room is kept just for your rest Alys, nothing here will come to trouble you tonight you are the warmest thing this house has ever blessed

  Verse 2

  The rug has worn thin where small feet love to wander but you are wrapped up safe, still and warm in bed that same old light will lie there when you're waking the same soft gold to greet your sleepy head

  Pre-chorus

  Let your breathing find the hush that fills the hallway let the small light by the door be all you need and drift now toward the calm that's always waiting

  Chorus

  Alys, the night has folded soft around you now every corner of this room is kept just for your rest Alys, nothing here will come to trouble you tonight you are the warmest thing this house has ever blessed

  Bridge

  No shadow here would dare to come too near you you are held closer than you'll ever know sleep now, and let the whole wide dark grow gentle

  Chorus

  Alys, the night has folded soft around you now every corner of this room is kept just for your rest Alys, nothing here will come to trouble you tonight you are the warmest thing this house has ever blessed

  Outro

  The light beneath the door will burn on softly watching over you until the morning comes

  Cello cradle · Cello · Low · Warm

  A slow cello lullaby for settling a little one at bedtime, built around the gentle back and forth of an old clock in the hall.

  Verse 1

  Somewhere down the hallway a steady clock is swinging low Marking every minute with a calm and patient flow You are held much closer than that pendulum in its case Nothing in the whole wide house could ever take your place

  Pre-chorus

  Let the ticking carry you where all your worries land Every little tremor smoothed by one unhurried hand Close your eyes and drift now, sleep is closer than you think

  Chorus

  Alys, the dark is only quiet wearing down its edge Nothing here will hurt you, nothing past this window ledge Alys, you are steady as that swinging in the hall Loved before you knew it, loved through every fall

  Verse 2

  Somewhere in the stillness something old keeps beating on Patient as a heartbeat that has never once been gone You will always matter more than any hour it keeps Wrapped in something gentler while the whole house sleeps

  Chorus

  Alys, the dark is only quiet wearing down its edge Nothing here will hurt you, nothing past this window ledge Alys, you are steady as that swinging in the hall Loved before you knew it, loved through every fall

  Bridge

  Back and forth, back and forth, so soft it barely seems to move Somebody near you always has a reason to approve Rest inside the rhythm, let the night go on and on

  Chorus

  Alys, the dark is only quiet wearing down its edge Nothing here will hurt you, nothing past this window ledge Alys, you are steady as that swinging in the hall Loved before you knew it, loved through every fall

  Outro

  Somewhere down the hallway that old clock is swinging still Carry on its rhythm to wherever dreams may spill
