  Verse 1

  The fire is breathing slower now behind the iron bars Its glow is turning softer like the fading of the stars And you are safe and heavy in the cradle of my arm So let the last light dwindle, you were never meant for harm

  Chorus

  Beverly, the whole house has gone quiet just for you Every corner softened now, every worry through Beverly, my heavenly, my calm and steady girl Rest inside the hush tonight, let go and let it curl

  Verse 2

  The ash falls in without a sound, it settles where it lies No need to keep your eyes on it, you don't need open eyes Whatever burned today is done, it's turning soft and grey There's nothing left to hold onto except the end of day

  Pre-chorus

  Feel how the warmth still lingers though the flames have gone to rest Feel how the dark is gentle now, it only means you're blessed So let your breathing follow mine and drift where dreaming's best

  Chorus

  Beverly, the whole house has gone quiet just for you Every corner softened now, every worry through Beverly, my heavenly, my calm and steady girl Rest inside the hush tonight, let go and let it curl

  Bridge

  Nothing needs to hold its shape when morning's still so far You can crumble soft as embers, you can loosen who you are

  Chorus

  Beverly, the whole house has gone quiet just for you Every corner softened now, every worry through Beverly, my heavenly, my calm and steady girl Rest inside the hush tonight, let go and let it curl

  Outro

  The bars hold nothing now but warmth and quiet and the grey So close your eyes, my Beverly, and drift the dark away

• A Strip of Light

  Glockenspiel · Twinkling · Simple

  A slow, glockenspiel lullaby for settling a little one to sleep, built around the comfort of a thin line of hallway light and the promise that you are near.

  Verse 1

  A strip of yellow light lies soft across the floor tonight It slips beneath the door to say that someone's near Close your eyes now, let the dark feel gentle, feel alright There's nothing in the quiet house for you to fear

  Pre-chorus

  The house breathes slow, the walls are warm and leaning in to listen Every shadow folds itself to lay its head down too So let the hush come closer, let your small hands finally loosen

  Chorus

  Beverly, the night is only quiet, never far Every corner of this house is fond of who you are Close your eyes, my Beverly, and drift as soft as breath Wrapped in something warmer than the dark could ever guess

  Verse 2

  The floorboards hold their stillness like they're guarding something small Somewhere past the doorway there's a hand that won't let go You don't have to watch the light or listen for a call Just rest, and let the warmth around you start to grow

  Bridge

  Nothing in this house will move to wake you from your rest Every hush tonight was made to prove that you are blessed

  Chorus

  Beverly, the night is only quiet, never far Every corner of this house is fond of who you are Close your eyes, my Beverly, and drift as soft as breath Wrapped in something warmer than the dark could ever guess

  Outro

  The light along the floor will keep its quiet watch till morning Sleep now, Beverly, you're held, and you were never on your own

  Verse 1

  Somewhere a light is turning slowly over the dark water and every time it passes it remembers where you are it slides across the ceiling like a hand upon your shoulder then dims to let you dream beneath your small and steady star

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing in the night is coming closer than this glow it only means to find you, then to leave you to your rest so let your breathing follow how the beam moves soft and slow

  Chorus

  Beverly, the whole wide dark is holding you so gently you are the warmest corner in this quiet turning world sleep now, little Beverly, you are so nearly heavenly safe beneath the light that sweeps so softly where you're curled

  Verse 2

  The plaster walls go pale and bright then settle back to shadow just like the tide of breath that rises quiet in your chest nothing here will hurry you, no reason left to follow only stillness gathering to carry you to rest

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing in the night is coming closer than this glow it only means to find you, then to leave you to your rest so let your breathing follow how the beam moves soft and slow

  Chorus

  Beverly, the whole wide dark is holding you so gently you are the warmest corner in this quiet turning world sleep now, little Beverly, you are so nearly heavenly safe beneath the light that sweeps so softly where you're curled

  Bridge

  Every hour that turns tonight is turning to protect you far beyond the window, past the trees and past the tide nothing in this wide dark world was ever built to hurt you

  Chorus

  Beverly, the whole wide dark is holding you so gently you are the warmest corner in this quiet turning world sleep now, little Beverly, you are so nearly heavenly safe beneath the light that sweeps so softly where you're curled

  Outro

  The light will keep on turning long after you have slept and you were loved through every sweep it ever kept
