  Verse 1

  Golden light is spilling soft along the landing floor tonight Stretching out in yellow stripes to guide you toward the warm and right Every shadow here is gentle, nothing waits to do you harm You are walking into softness, into sleep and into calm

  Chorus

  Bonnie, Bonnie, close your eyes and let the evening in Nothing here can trouble you, no need to fight or spin Bonnie, hush now, you are held as tight as tight can be Rest inside this rocking hour, safe as safe will ever be

  Verse 2

  Somewhere down that quiet hallway all the worry drains away You can hear the house breathe slowly as it settles into grey Wrapped in blankets, wrapped in stillness, nothing sharp can find you here Every corner of this darkness only holds you soft and near

  Pre-chorus

  Feel the rocking start to slow you, feel your breathing find its place Nothing hurries in this moment, nothing chases, nothing races Sink a little deeper now, let the quiet take its space

  Chorus

  Bonnie, Bonnie, close your eyes and let the evening in Nothing here can trouble you, no need to fight or spin Bonnie, hush now, you are held as tight as tight can be Rest inside this rocking hour, safe as safe will ever be

  Bridge

  Whatever came before this moment, let it fold and drift away You are only meant for softness, only meant for rest tonight

  Chorus

  Bonnie, Bonnie, close your eyes and let the evening in Nothing here can trouble you, no need to fight or spin Bonnie, hush now, you are held as tight as tight can be Rest inside this rocking hour, safe as safe will ever be

  Outro

  Somewhere still that golden light lies quiet on the floor You are carried past it gently, into sleep and nothing more

• The Fire Settles Down

  Clarinet nightlight · Clarinet · Woodwind · Round

  A slow bedtime lullaby that watches the last embers fall quiet in the grate, the way the room settling down mirrors a child finally settling into sleep.

  Verse 1

  The fire is turning softer now, easing into grey There is nowhere left to hurry, nothing left to do Every small sound in the house has folded itself away And the whole night bends down gently to look after you

  Pre-chorus

  Ash is falling quiet where the flame was bright Nothing asks a thing of you this deep into the night So let your breathing slow to match the dimming light

  Chorus

  Bonnie, the embers are closing their eyes like you Warm in the hush that the dark is gathering round Nothing will wake you, nothing will find its way through Bonnie, you're held here as safe as anything I've found

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a door has stopped its creaking for the day The iron is cooling slow beside your quiet head Whatever the light was worried about has drifted away And all that is left is the warmth still caught in the bed

  Bridge

  Even the last spark bows and lets itself go out Trusting the dark to carry what the fire cannot hold

  Chorus

  Bonnie, the embers are closing their eyes like you Warm in the hush that the dark is gathering round Nothing will wake you, nothing will find its way through Bonnie, you're held here as safe as anything I've found

  Outro

  The grate has gone quiet, the last small glow has died But you are still warm, and I am still right by your side

• Small Gold Light

  Accordion cradle · Accordion · Old world · Gentle

  A slow, breathy lullaby for settling a baby or young child at night, built around the gentle flicker of a stairwell bulb as a symbol of steady, watching love.

  Verse 1

  A moth taps soft on the bulb above the stairs tonight Circling round and round a small and steady glow You are held here safer than that fluttering flight Nothing in this house will let the warmth go slow

  Pre-chorus

  Every wing that beats is just the hush of dark settling down Every shadow on the wall is only sleep coming round Close your eyes now, let the quiet carry what it found

  Chorus

  Bonnie, the light stays lit for you all through the night Nothing can touch you while you're wrapped up warm and tight You are the reason this house glows so bright Sleep now, Bonnie, you are held here, you're alright

  Verse 2

  The old bulb flickers but it never once goes out It just keeps humming low to keep the dark away You are the calm inside this small and gentle house Nothing can follow you into the hush of grey

  Bridge

  Even moths find their way home to the light Even the dark makes room for you tonight

  Chorus

  Bonnie, the light stays lit for you all through the night Nothing can touch you while you're wrapped up warm and tight You are the reason this house glows so bright Sleep now, Bonnie, you are held here, you're alright

  Outro

  The small gold light will still be burning when you wake Sleep now, you are loved for every breath you take
