  Verse 1

  There's a small yellow bulb swinging soft on its wire up above the landing, hung a little bit higher and it watches the hallway while the house breathes slow keeping you from the shadows that would rather not go

  Chorus

  Caleb, the light is low and the night is kind Caleb, there's nothing waiting to trouble your mind rest in the hush that the evening has made you are the reason the quiet was stayed

  Verse 2

  That crooked little wire has swayed there for years holding its glow through the softest of fears it isn't much, just a flicker, a hum but it waits up for you until morning has come

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere below you the house settles deeper doors easing shut like a slow, gentle keeper and the warmth from that bulb is the last thing to fade

  Chorus

  Caleb, the light is low and the night is kind Caleb, there's nothing waiting to trouble your mind rest in the hush that the evening has made you are the reason the quiet was stayed

  Bridge

  Let the whole house hold its breath around you nothing can reach where the dark won't find you

  Chorus

  Caleb, the light is low and the night is kind Caleb, there's nothing waiting to trouble your mind rest in the hush that the evening has made you are the reason the quiet was stayed

  Outro

  That small yellow light will keep swinging so slow just to watch over you while you drift and let go

  Verse 1

  A pale little light is turning slowly overhead it slides across the tiles and never makes a sound you watch it drift the way a boat goes drifting on its bed of water soft and still with nothing lost or found

  Pre-chorus

  Your eyes are getting heavy now, they flutter and they close the beam keeps turning gently like it's rocking you to rest and everything is softer than the whole wide world it knows

  Chorus

  Caleb, the night is holding you so warm and low sleep is a river and you're floating in its stream nobody's leaving, Caleb, nothing here will go you're safe inside the hush of every quiet dream

  Verse 2

  The shapes above you turn as slow as honey poured from jars circling soft and easy like they've got no place to be tonight the ceiling holds a little patch of borrowed stars just for you to watch until your eyes can barely see

  Chorus

  Caleb, the night is holding you so warm and low sleep is a river and you're floating in its stream nobody's leaving, Caleb, nothing here will go you're safe inside the hush of every quiet dream

  Bridge

  Breathe out slow, let your shoulders sink and settle every worry folds itself away and disappears

  Chorus

  Caleb, the night is holding you so warm and low sleep is a river and you're floating in its stream nobody's leaving, Caleb, nothing here will go you're safe inside the hush of every quiet dream

  Outro

  The light keeps turning gently long after you have gone to sleep and it will still be turning soft and steady when you wake

  Verse 1

  Somewhere a wheel has stopped turning under branches hanging low Resting so quiet on leaves that the whole wood seems to know Nothing tonight has to hurry or travel anywhere far And that is how I hold you, Caleb, safe and slow

  Pre-chorus

  The dark outside is gentle, it only wants to stay It folds around the garden and softly waits for day So let your breathing settle, there's nowhere else to be

  Chorus

  Caleb, close your eyes now, let the quiet in Nothing needs to move tonight, not one single thing Caleb, you are held here, warm beneath my arm Sleep is just the leaves, and you the gentle rain

  Verse 2

  Low branches lean together like they're whispering goodnight Water on the leaf tops catching one last bit of light Everything is settling, folding softly into rest And you are the softest part of all I see tonight

  Pre-chorus

  The dark outside is gentle, it only wants to stay It folds around the garden and softly waits for day So let your breathing settle, there's nowhere else to be

  Chorus

  Caleb, close your eyes now, let the quiet in Nothing needs to move tonight, not one single thing Caleb, you are held here, warm beneath my arm Sleep is just the leaves, and you the gentle rain

  Bridge

  Nothing far away tonight, no road to travel on Just the hush of leaves outside and you till morning comes

  Chorus

  Caleb, close your eyes now, let the quiet in Nothing needs to move tonight, not one single thing Caleb, you are held here, warm beneath my arm Sleep is just the leaves, and you the gentle rain

  Outro

  Somewhere still a wheel is resting quiet on the ground And you are just as still now, safe till morning's found
