  Verse 1

  Far away a lighthouse turns its slow and gentle beam Sweeping soft across the dark like something out of a dream You are watching how it passes, calm and white and slow Wrapped in blankets, warm and quiet, nowhere left to go

  Pre-chorus

  Every corner of this room is soft and safe tonight Nothing here can reach you, held so close and held so right Close your eyes and let it carry you to something bright

  Chorus

  Atlas, sleep, and let the whole night pass Rest so easy, little one, at last I am here, and here is where you stay Atlas, dream, till morning finds its way

  Verse 2

  That beam of light will circle round and find this wall again Steady as a heartbeat, always gentle, never plain You do not need to watch it, you can let your eyelids fall Someone here is holding you through all of it, through all

  Pre-chorus

  Every corner of this room is soft and safe tonight Nothing here can reach you, held so close and held so right Close your eyes and let it carry you to something bright

  Chorus

  Atlas, sleep, and let the whole night pass Rest so easy, little one, at last I am here, and here is where you stay Atlas, dream, till morning finds its way

  Bridge

  Somewhere far off, someone keeps a light for sailors lost at sea But nothing out there shines as steady as the love in me You are not adrift, you never will be, never far from shore

  Chorus

  Atlas, sleep, and let the whole night pass Rest so easy, little one, at last I am here, and here is where you stay Atlas, dream, till morning finds its way

  Outro

  Somewhere still that beam goes sweeping gently over sleeping walls And you are held here safe and warm, whatever falls

  Verse 1

  Somewhere down the hall a heavy clock is swinging slow Its brass hands keeping time so soft you'd barely hear it pass Every quiet beat is measured out to let you go Down into the kind of sleep that always holds you fast

  Chorus

  Atlas, close your eyes, the whole wide night is holding still There is nowhere safer than this warm and sleepy patch Nothing in the dark tonight will ever mean you ill Atlas, you are loved beyond whatever you could catch

  Verse 2

  Far off in the shadows something swings and never stops Steady as a heartbeat that was made to never rest You are wrapped up warmer than the softest thing it drops Sinking low and easy into everything that's blessed

  Pre-chorus

  Listen how the ticking slows the tumble of your day Feel the weight of sleepiness now pulling you to stay Let the swinging carry every worry far away

  Chorus

  Atlas, close your eyes, the whole wide night is holding still There is nowhere safer than this warm and sleepy patch Nothing in the dark tonight will ever mean you ill Atlas, you are loved beyond whatever you could catch

  Bridge

  Somewhere in another room the pendulum swings on for you Marking every minute as a minute you are loved

  Chorus

  Atlas, close your eyes, the whole wide night is holding still There is nowhere safer than this warm and sleepy patch Nothing in the dark tonight will ever mean you ill Atlas, you are loved beyond whatever you could catch

  Outro

  Somewhere down the hall the brass is swinging slow and true Sleep now, little one, that steady heart is here for you

  Verse 1

  Somewhere past the glass a quiet wing is folding down to rest Nothing in the dark tonight will ever come to find you All the small brown feathers settle soft against the sill Sleep is only kindness wrapped in shadow laid behind you

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the house grow warm and slow around you Every little sound outside is just the night saying goodnight Nothing has to happen now except the breathing

  Chorus

  Atlas, the whole wide world can wait until the morning Rest here where the quiet holds you close and safe at last Nobody needs you to be anything but sleepy Atlas, this small warm bed is yours, it's yours to hold you fast

  Verse 2

  The owl outside is watching over branches, not the window Guarding nothing but the calm that settles once you're under You are held by every soft thing gathered in this room tonight Wrapped in blankets thick enough to keep away the thunder

  Chorus

  Atlas, the whole wide world can wait until the morning Rest here where the quiet holds you close and safe at last Nobody needs you to be anything but sleepy Atlas, this small warm bed is yours, it's yours to hold you fast

  Bridge

  However far the night stretches out beyond this room You are the one thing certain, the one I'm watching over

  Chorus

  Atlas, the whole wide world can wait until the morning Rest here where the quiet holds you close and safe at last Nobody needs you to be anything but sleepy Atlas, this small warm bed is yours, it's yours to hold you fast

  Outro

  Somewhere the owl folds its wings and settles into stillness Sleep now, Atlas, you are already so loved, so safe, so still
