  Verse 1

  Little dust motes are turning slow in the golden warm air Drifting so soft where the radiator hums low and steady You are the reason this whole quiet room feels so gentle Wrapped up and held while the night settles in, warm and ready

  Pre-chorus

  Every small breath that you take pulls the evening in closer Shadows are kind here, they lean in to keep you protected Close your eyes now, let the hush carry you where it's going

  Chorus

  Aubrey, the light on the wall is turning to honey and gold Somewhere past sleepy your eyelids are learning to fall Nothing tonight has to hurry, nothing has to be told Aubrey, you're held here as safe as this house and these walls

  Verse 2

  Watch how the light seems to float like it's barely awake Just like you, drifting soft between here and your dreaming Whatever the day was, it's over, it's yours now to shake Sleep is a boat and you're already gently careening

  Chorus

  Aubrey, the light on the wall is turning to honey and gold Somewhere past sleepy your eyelids are learning to fall Nothing tonight has to hurry, nothing has to be told Aubrey, you're held here as safe as this house and these walls

  Bridge

  Somebody's here while the whole house breathes low and slow Somebody's watching the gold dust settle like snow

  Chorus

  Aubrey, the light on the wall is turning to honey and gold Somewhere past sleepy your eyelids are learning to fall Nothing tonight has to hurry, nothing has to be told Aubrey, you're held here as safe as this house and these walls

  Outro

  The dust keeps turning so slowly in the warm yellow light Sleep now, you're carried right through to the far side of night

  Verse 1

  A strip of golden carpet stretches over the dark old floorboards It leads from the doorway right to where your small head is resting The house goes quiet and settles down around you I watch that gold light and think how dearly you are held

  Pre-chorus

  The lamp stays low and the hallway hums you gentle Every shadow tonight has promised to be kind So let your eyes go heavy, love, and drift

  Chorus

  Aubrey, sleep is a warm road home for you Aubrey, nothing tonight can touch you, that's true Rest in the hush that the whole house is keeping Nothing out there is bigger than my love for you

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window the whole wide world turns slowly But here the light stays low and easy, only for you Your breathing slows to match the house's breathing I could watch you sleeping and never once feel lonely

  Chorus

  Aubrey, sleep is a warm road home for you Aubrey, nothing tonight can touch you, that's true Rest in the hush that the whole house is keeping Nothing out there is bigger than my love for you

  Bridge

  Every night that gold strip finds you again Laid out soft as a hand across the floor However far your dreams decide to wander There is always this warm way back to shore

  Chorus

  Aubrey, sleep is a warm road home for you Aubrey, nothing tonight can touch you, that's true Rest in the hush that the whole house is keeping Nothing out there is bigger than my love for you

  Outro

  The gold on the floorboards will still be there come morning And so will this love, waiting quiet, holding you

• Soft as Hangers

  Harp lullaby · Harp · Gentle · Flowing

  A gentle harp lullaby for settling a little one to sleep, built around the soft click of coat hangers in a closing closet and the quiet it leaves behind.

  Verse 1

  Coat hangers click as the closet door swings slowly shut tonight Somewhere behind it your little shoes are lined up out of sight Every small sound in this house is turning softer than before Hush follows hush as we settle in and quietly close the door

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing will stir and nothing will call you back from where you lie Only the hush of a closing house and one soft lullaby Close your eyes now, let the last of the evening drift on by

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Aubrey, the whole house has gone quiet and slow Nothing can reach you, nowhere you have to go You are the warmest thing in this whole sleepy place Aubrey, my Aubrey, dream with a peaceful face

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a sleeve is swaying gently on its little wooden hook Nothing is watching over you tonight except this quiet book Shadows have folded themselves up small along the wall You are too loved to notice them or worry about them at all

  Bridge

  Rest your whole weight down into the dark, it will hold you fine Every soft click in the quiet house is only a lullaby line

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Aubrey, the whole house has gone quiet and slow Nothing can reach you, nowhere you have to go You are the warmest thing in this whole sleepy place Aubrey, my Aubrey, dream with a peaceful face

  Outro

  Somewhere the hangers have settled and stopped their gentle sway You are held safe here until the light of day
