  Verse 1

  Heavy drops are falling soft against the glass tonight Tapping out a rhythm just to hold you in the light Nothing in the dark outside can reach this quiet room Everything is gentle here, and everything's alright

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the humming rain be all you hear Every little worry now can simply disappear Let the hush come closer, let it draw the whole world near

  Chorus

  August, you are safe here, you're the only one I trust Nothing in this whole wide world could ever turn to rust Sleep now while the soft rain falls, and let your breathing hush August, you are held here, you're the treasure and the must

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window all the streets are turning grey and still Nothing out there matters now, and nothing ever will You are wrapped in warmth tonight, so small and safe and true Let the falling rain outside just gently work its will

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the humming rain be all you hear Every little worry now can simply disappear Let the hush come closer, let it draw the whole world near

  Chorus

  August, you are safe here, you're the only one I trust Nothing in this whole wide world could ever turn to rust Sleep now while the soft rain falls, and let your breathing hush August, you are held here, you're the treasure and the must

  Bridge

  Whatever comes tomorrow, you are loved before it starts Carried soft and steady in the quiet of these hearts

  Chorus

  August, you are safe here, you're the only one I trust Nothing in this whole wide world could ever turn to rust Sleep now while the soft rain falls, and let your breathing hush August, you are held here, you're the treasure and the must

  Outro

  Let the drops keep falling soft above your little cot Sleep now, you are loved here, August, sleep, you're all I've got

• Slow As Ash

  Vibraphone drift · Vibraphone · Drifting · Soft

  A gentle vibraphone lullaby that watches the fire settle low behind the guard, comparing that soft collapse into embers to the safety of a small child finally letting go into sleep.

  Verse 1

  The grey ash falls so slowly behind the quiet guard tonight and the whole room breathes out with the dimming of the light you are curled up warm where nothing here can reach you now safe behind the glow that settles soft and out of sight

  Chorus

  August, hush now, let the embers have their way August, you are held here, you can drift and float away nothing in this house will stir before the break of day rest is yours completely, August, come what may

  Verse 2

  Every spark that fades tonight was once a wild and restless thing and it settles now to nothing but a gentle, dying ring you were loud and bright with living all the whole day through and now you fold down softly like a bird upon a wing

  Pre-chorus

  The last log shifts and settles with a sound too soft to fear warmth is closing round you like the falling of the year hold on to nothing, let it all come near

  Chorus

  August, hush now, let the embers have their way August, you are held here, you can drift and float away nothing in this house will stir before the break of day rest is yours completely, August, come what may

  Bridge

  You are not the ash, you are the warmth it leaves behind you are not the dark, you are the calm inside my mind

  Chorus

  August, hush now, let the embers have their way August, you are held here, you can drift and float away nothing in this house will stir before the break of day rest is yours completely, August, come what may

  Outro

  The ash falls quiet now behind the guard, and so do you sleep soft, sleep sure, there's nothing waiting through the night for you

  Verse 1

  The water goes still while the steam climbs the tiles You're warm in my arms, not a worry in sight I'll hold you through every small sound that the house makes And carry you gently on into the night

  Pre-chorus

  Your breathing has slowed to the pace of the steam Your eyes are so heavy, they're closing like doors I feel you go soft as you drift into

  Chorus

  August, the whole house is holding its breath for you Nothing can reach you while I'm standing near August, I'll keep every shadow from finding you You're safe as the stillness, you're safe right here

  Verse 2

  The tiles have gone dark now, the water has cooled But you are still warm underneath every fold I wrap you up tighter and hum something wordless A song only you and this quiet house hold

  Chorus

  August, the whole house is holding its breath for you Nothing can reach you while I'm standing near August, I'll keep every shadow from finding you You're safe as the stillness, you're safe right here

  Bridge

  Let the steam settle soft where the dark used to be There's nothing to fear in this house, only me

  Chorus

  August, the whole house is holding its breath for you Nothing can reach you while I'm standing near August, I'll keep every shadow from finding you You're safe as the stillness, you're safe right here

  Outro

  The steam has all faded, the tiles have gone cold But you are still held here, still warm, still whole
