  Verse 1

  The lamp burns low across your sleeping knees tonight Wool threads are catching every bit of amber glow I wrap you up so nothing dims your gentle light You are the softest thing this quiet house will know

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the day slip out beyond the door Your breathing slows and settles like a tide going still There is nothing left for you to carry anymore

  Chorus

  Amira, sleep is coming soft and slow and near Nobody in this whole wide world could love you clearer Rest your head, there's nothing in the dark to fear With every year that passes you grow only dearer

  Verse 2

  The small lamp hums a colour warm as honeyed thread It never asks a thing of you, it just stays lit I'll keep it burning gently right beside your bed So even in your dreaming you can still feel it

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the day slip out beyond the door Your breathing slows and settles like a tide going still There is nothing left for you to carry anymore

  Chorus

  Amira, sleep is coming soft and slow and near Nobody in this whole wide world could love you clearer Rest your head, there's nothing in the dark to fear With every year that passes you grow only dearer

  Bridge

  Whatever colour morning brings will find you held No corner of the night was ever yours to fear alone

  Chorus

  Amira, sleep is coming soft and slow and near Nobody in this whole wide world could love you clearer Rest your head, there's nothing in the dark to fear With every year that passes you grow only dearer

  Outro

  The lamp will dim to nothing while you drift so deep and free Still wrapped in every warm thread that was ever spun for thee

  Verse 1

  A slow gold light slides over the whitewashed wall tonight turning the quiet room from shadow into glow you watch it drift like something soft is guarding you and this is all the world you need to know

  Chorus

  Amira, sleep is close and softly falling now nothing in the dark can find you here hush now, let the hours turn without a sound Amira, you are held, you are so dear

  Verse 2

  Every ten seconds the light comes round again brushing the wall like a hand that will not stop you do not need to watch to know it's coming back so let your eyes grow heavy, let them drop

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere a warmth is keeping every worry small breath by breath the night is growing kind so let the last light settle you to sleep

  Chorus

  Amira, sleep is close and softly falling now nothing in the dark can find you here hush now, let the hours turn without a sound Amira, you are held, you are so dear

  Bridge

  Nothing asks anything of you now, only rest the whole wide night has gathered round to keep you safe

  Chorus

  Amira, sleep is close and softly falling now nothing in the dark can find you here hush now, let the hours turn without a sound Amira, you are held, you are so dear

  Outro

  Somewhere the light still sweeps the wall so slow and gold sleep now, Amira, you are held, you are known

• Still Water, Amira

  Glockenspiel · Twinkling · Simple

  A hushed, glockenspiel lullaby for settling a little one to sleep, drifting on the image of oars resting quiet against a boat while the water gently rocks it still.

  Verse 1

  Let the oars rest easy, their work for today is done Rock here beside me, my quietest, dearest one Every ripple that reaches you is soft and slow This is the calm little harbour where you always go

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, the water has grown so still Nothing will wake you, nothing ever will Just this gentle drifting, closer than a hill

  Chorus

  Amira, sleep is calling soft and low Wrapped in warmth the whole night through Nobody holds you nearer than I do There is no harbour dearer than you, Amira, too

  Verse 2

  You are the reason the ripples learn to hush Held in a stillness no wind could ever rush Every wooden rib holds warmth against the chill And you are the reason this small boat stays still

  Chorus

  Amira, sleep is calling soft and low Wrapped in warmth the whole night through Nobody holds you nearer than I do There is no harbour dearer than you, Amira, too

  Bridge

  Drift now, drift further, past the edges of the day Nothing can follow you, nothing will stay You are the calmest water I have ever known

  Chorus

  Amira, sleep is calling soft and low Wrapped in warmth the whole night through Nobody holds you nearer than I do There is no harbour dearer than you, Amira, too

  Outro

  Rest now, the oars are still against the wooden hull Sleep now, my dearest, the night is warm and full
