  Verse 1

  A green little radio hums by your bed, low and slow Half a glass of water sits catching the lamp's small glow Nothing in this room is asking you to be anywhere else You are held here safely, and that is all you need to know

  Pre-chorus

  Let the hum become a hand that rests upon your chest Every soft and fuzzy sound is only night's own gentle test Close your eyes now, Blake, and let the quiet do the rest

  Chorus

  Blake, the dark is only a blanket pulled up high Sleep is just a boat that carries you and doesn't ask you why Nothing here can touch you, nothing here will ever break You are the safest thing this whole wide house has, Blake

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window a small light hums its own quiet song Your breathing finds its rhythm, slower now, and drifting long Nobody needs you awake for one more single thing tonight Rest here where you're wanted, where you have always belonged

  Bridge

  Even static settles when you let it simply be Even glass half empty holds enough to let you sleep, believe me

  Chorus

  Blake, the dark is only a blanket pulled up high Sleep is just a boat that carries you and doesn't ask you why Nothing here can touch you, nothing here will ever break You are the safest thing this whole wide house has, Blake

  Outro

  Let the radio hum you softer than any word could say Sleep now, Blake, and know that you were loved this way

• Soft as Falling Soot

  Celesta and strings · Celesta · Strings · Dreamy

  A slow, hushed lullaby that turns the quiet slide of soot in a still chimney into a picture of safety, sung to settle a little one all the way down to sleep.

  Verse 1

  Somewhere in the dark a little soot slips down the wall soft as breath, it settles without any sound at all you are curled up warmer than the coals could ever be and nothing needs to move tonight, no matter how small

  Chorus

  Blake, the whole house breathes around you, slow and low hush is just another word for how much you are loved you don't have to hold on tight to anything you know Blake, the dark is only night wrapped soft as a glove

  Verse 2

  Every ember dims to orange, then to grey, then to rest that's the way a good day folds itself and lies down too you were held through all its noise and now you're held through this sleep is just the softest thing that ever happened to you

  Pre-chorus

  Listen how the quiet settles thicker than before feel it gather round your shoulders, heavier, more sure this is where the night was always leading you toward

  Chorus

  Blake, the whole house breathes around you, slow and low hush is just another word for how much you are loved you don't have to hold on tight to anything you know Blake, the dark is only night wrapped soft as a glove

  Bridge

  Down in the dark of the chimney nothing hurries, nothing falls too hard every small thing finds its bed eventually, given time you are already halfway there, already halfway safe

  Chorus

  Blake, the whole house breathes around you, slow and low hush is just another word for how much you are loved you don't have to hold on tight to anything you know Blake, the dark is only night wrapped soft as a glove

  Outro

  Somewhere the last of the soot has settled soft and still sleep now, you are held exactly where you're meant to be

  Verse 1

  A far off light slides slowly over the wall tonight Passing so calm above your head as you lie still Nothing about this moment needs to move so bright Rest here beneath it, wrapped in warmth until you will

  Pre-chorus

  Rain keeps its own soft time against the glass Every small sound tonight is only a lullaby And the hours are wide enough to let you pass

  Chorus

  Blake, the whole wide house is holding still for you Close your eyes now, let the quiet take your hand Nothing tonight is asking anything of you, Blake You are the softest thing in all this land

  Verse 2

  That beam will keep on sweeping long after you sleep Tracing the same slow path it always takes It never rushes, never has a reason to keep Time moving faster than the peace that settling makes

  Pre-chorus

  Rain keeps its own soft time against the glass Every small sound tonight is only a lullaby And the hours are wide enough to let you pass

  Chorus

  Blake, the whole wide house is holding still for you Close your eyes now, let the quiet take your hand Nothing tonight is asking anything of you, Blake You are the softest thing in all this land

  Bridge

  However far that light has come to reach this room It only ever wanted to lie down beside you So let the dark be gentle, let it loosen soon Nothing you carry now is yours to carry through

  Chorus

  Blake, the whole wide house is holding still for you Close your eyes now, let the quiet take your hand Nothing tonight is asking anything of you, Blake You are the softest thing in all this land

  Outro

  The light will still be moving when the morning comes to find you And you will still be loved exactly as you are right now
