  Music box · Tender · Delicate

  A slow, hushed lullaby for settling a little one to sleep, built around the quiet of a boat drawn in for the night.

  Verse 1

  Rest the oar across the boat and let it lie so still Water only whispers now against the wooden sill Nothing pulls you, nothing calls you, nowhere left to row Close your eyes and let the dark be gentle as it goes

  Chorus

  Callum, Callum, drift and settle deep Ripples humming softly while you sleep Callum, safe as anything can be Held here quiet, just like a small drum, just you and me

  Verse 2

  Metal rings that held the oar are resting now like you Every little creak has said the work it had to do Nothing needs your hands tonight, no distance left to keep Sink into the hull of dark and let it rock you deep

  Pre-chorus

  Hear how the water settles into hush upon the side Feel how the whole night leans in close to keep you safe inside Nothing in the dark tonight has any need to hide

  Chorus

  Callum, Callum, drift and settle deep Ripples humming softly while you sleep Callum, safe as anything can be Held here quiet, just like a small drum, just you and me

  Bridge

  You are not adrift, you're anchored fast and warm Nothing on this water means to bring you harm

  Chorus

  Callum, Callum, drift and settle deep Ripples humming softly while you sleep Callum, safe as anything can be Held here quiet, just like a small drum, just you and me

  Outro

  Let the oar lie easy now, its journey through for tonight Sleep will carry you as gently till the morning light

  Verse 1

  Thin white curtains lift and settle like they're breathing with the dark Out beyond the glass the lamps are waking one by one You are curled up warm and certain, safe inside this quiet spark Nothing in the whole wide night can catch you now or come undone

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the evening close its hand around this room Every worry of the daylight folds itself away Close your eyes, the dark is gentle, gentle as it comes

  Chorus

  Callum, Callum, hear the quiet calling soft and low Nothing waits outside these curtains but a peaceful glow Sleep is coming closer, slower than a small drum's beat Callum, you are held here, warm from head to feet

  Verse 2

  The light outside goes amber, then it settles into blue Somewhere far a window closes, somewhere near you sigh You don't need to know the answers, only that I'm here with you Only that the night was always softer than the sky

  Chorus

  Callum, Callum, hear the quiet calling soft and low Nothing waits outside these curtains but a peaceful glow Sleep is coming closer, slower than a small drum's beat Callum, you are held here, warm from head to feet

  Bridge

  No need to watch the lamplight or the shapes it makes and leaves Rest is only love that's learned to breathe

  Chorus

  Callum, Callum, hear the quiet calling soft and low Nothing waits outside these curtains but a peaceful glow Sleep is coming closer, slower than a small drum's beat Callum, you are held here, warm from head to feet

  Outro

  The curtains settle still now, and the lamps burn soft and low Sleep well, you are so loved, and it will still be so

  Rain and piano · Rain · Piano · Hushed

  A slow, rain soft lullaby for settling a little one to sleep, built around the far off sound of a night train fading into quiet.

  Verse 1

  Somewhere a train is rolling off through the dark Its light growing small as the field turns to grey You are so loved that even the falling dark Cannot touch where you rest at the end of the day

  Pre-chorus

  Hear how the wheels go soft as a small drum Slower and slower until they are barely there Close your eyes now, the quiet is nearly come

  Chorus

  Callum, the night is holding you gentle and slow Nothing can follow you into this warm little room Callum, wherever the lights of the evening go You are the reason the dark doesn't feel like the gloom

  Verse 2

  The field outside is damp and hushed under grey Every small sound is fading further from view Nothing tonight has to trouble or lead you astray Because all of my quiet is wrapped around you

  Bridge

  Let the far off rumble carry you under Let your breathing slow to match the rain

  Chorus

  Callum, the night is holding you gentle and slow Nothing can follow you into this warm little room Callum, wherever the lights of the evening go You are the reason the dark doesn't feel like the gloom

  Outro

  Far off now, the train has gone quiet and small Sleep now, my Callum, held safer than all
