Verse 1
White cotton muslin hangs still on the wooden frame tonight Waiting to catch you soft in its fold of gentle light Moonlight crosses the floor in a slow and silver line Finding your small warm hand and folding it into mine
Pre-chorus
Every breath you take is a wave upon the shore Every hush I sing is a door closing soft and sure And the dark outside is only the calm before
Chorus
Sleep now, Cecil, the whole wide night is holding you Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will deceive you Close your eyes, Cecil, let the quiet carry you home You are so deeply loved you never sleep alone
Verse 2
The wooden frame stands steady while the house breathes slow around you Every corner of this room was built to be a home for you No shadow here has ever learned a single way to harm you Only soft light drifting down to settle warm upon you
Chorus
Sleep now, Cecil, the whole wide night is holding you Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will deceive you Close your eyes, Cecil, let the quiet carry you home You are so deeply loved you never sleep alone
Bridge
Rest easy now, there is nowhere else you need to be Just this warmth, just this hush, just you held close to me
Chorus
Sleep now, Cecil, the whole wide night is holding you Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will deceive you Close your eyes, Cecil, let the quiet carry you home You are so deeply loved you never sleep alone
Outro
The muslin sways so gently on the wooden frame once more While moonlight keeps on crossing, soft, across the floor
Snow on the Sill
Fingerpicked night · Fingerpicked · Guitar · QuietA slow, hushed lullaby for bedtime, built around the quiet of a snowy window and the safety of being held through the night.

Verse 1
Grey clouds lean low and settle soft against the glass tonight White flakes gather on the sill like sleep that's come to stay Somewhere out there the whole wide world is turning down its light And here you're warm, and nothing cold can find its way
Chorus
Cecil, Cecil, let your breathing slow Rest inside the quiet only you and I can keep Nothing out there ever needs to know Cecil, close your eyes, it's time to sleep
Verse 2
Frost is drawing shapes along the corner of the pane You don't have to watch it, you can let your eyelids fall I will keep the warmth in here however hard it's blown Nothing from the night outside can reach you through this wall
Pre-chorus
Feel how still the room has grown around you now Every little worry loosens, drifting out of reach Hush is calling softly, and it's calling loud enough
Chorus
Cecil, Cecil, let your breathing slow Rest inside the quiet only you and I can keep Nothing out there ever needs to know Cecil, close your eyes, it's time to sleep
Bridge
You are held here safer than a candle from the wind Loved here steadier than any light could ever be
Chorus
Cecil, Cecil, let your breathing slow Rest inside the quiet only you and I can keep Nothing out there ever needs to know Cecil, close your eyes, it's time to sleep
Outro
Snow will keep on falling soft and settle on the sill You can sleep, my Cecil, you are safe here still
Dark Water, Hold Still
Accordion cradle · Accordion · Old world · GentleA slow, breathing lullaby for settling a very young child at night, built around water that rocks gently against a far wall and never once wakes.

Verse 1
Dark water is rising so slowly against the far wall Nothing in this whole quiet room is going to fall Close those two eyes now, let the wide night in You are the softest thing that I know at all
Pre-chorus
Listen how gently the water keeps time Feel how the warmth wraps round you like a rhyme Sleep is just waiting to carry you further
Chorus
Cecil, the water is easy tonight Nothing will hurry you, nothing will fright You're held here as safe as a light behind glass Cecil, you're mine in the hush and the light
Verse 2
Somewhere the water folds soft on itself again Breathing so slow that it barely makes sound, and then Quiet comes down like a blanket pulled over the sky You are the reason this whole room feels calm
Chorus
Cecil, the water is easy tonight Nothing will hurry you, nothing will fright You're held here as safe as a light behind glass Cecil, you're mine in the hush and the light
Bridge
Rest now, let the far wall keep its slow low tide Nothing needs you awake, nothing needs you to hide
Chorus
Cecil, the water is easy tonight Nothing will hurry you, nothing will fright You're held here as safe as a light behind glass Cecil, you're mine in the hush and the light
Outro
Somewhere that water still rises and falls on the wall You are already sleeping, held safest of all
