  Verse 1

  Somewhere a tap is letting its water go slow drop by drop into the warm and waiting tub hush is the only sound that the whole house will know and you are the reason my heart beats so full

  Chorus

  Cerys, the night is holding you soft and near close your eyes, love, there is nothing to fear you are the calm at the end of my day Cerys, sleep now, I am here to stay

  Verse 2

  The water runs warm and it never runs fast filling the tub the way love fills a room you are so small but your light is so vast and I would sit here till the stars fill the gloom

  Pre-chorus

  Let every worry drift down and away let your small breaths slow at the end of the day let sleep come in like the turn of a tide

  Chorus

  Cerys, the night is holding you soft and near close your eyes, love, there is nothing to fear you are the calm at the end of my day Cerys, sleep now, I am here to stay

  Bridge

  Every drop that falls is a moment I keep held in my hand while you drift into sleep nothing can touch you while I'm holding on

  Chorus

  Cerys, the night is holding you soft and near close your eyes, love, there is nothing to fear you are the calm at the end of my day Cerys, sleep now, I am here to stay

  Outro

  Somewhere the water has slowed to a rest and you are the softest and safest and best

  Verse 1

  A line of yellow light comes creeping past the door spilling soft across the rug where all your dreaming lies close your eyes now, little one, you don't need to see more safety hums around you like a hundred lullabies

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing in the dark tonight can find you where you rest hearing rain against the glass, so gentle and so slow holding you here quiet now against a steady chest

  Chorus

  Cerys, the whole wide night belongs to you alone every star has bent down low to watch you sleeping still Cerys, you are held so close, you never sleep unknown rest here soft as falling rain, however dark or chill

  Verse 2

  Shapes upon the carpet fade as evening settles in watching shadows learn to soften, learning to be kind drifting slowly, you don't notice when the dreams begin peace is quietly arranging all you leave behind

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing in the dark tonight can find you where you rest hearing rain against the glass, so gentle and so slow holding you here quiet now against a steady chest

  Chorus

  Cerys, the whole wide night belongs to you alone every star has bent down low to watch you sleeping still Cerys, you are held so close, you never sleep unknown rest here soft as falling rain, however dark or chill

  Bridge

  Piano notes are falling slow like rain upon a sill you are wanted, you are certain, you are cradled and you're still

  Chorus

  Cerys, the whole wide night belongs to you alone every star has bent down low to watch you sleeping still Cerys, you are held so close, you never sleep unknown rest here soft as falling rain, however dark or chill

  Outro

  That thread of yellow light will keep its quiet watch till morning and you'll wake to find the whole soft world was warming

  Verse 1

  Somewhere the old tyre swing has gone still and quiet tonight Pine needles hold it soft like they know just how to be kind Nothing is asking to move, nothing is asking to hurry You are the reason this whole evening finally settles right

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the dark green branches lean in low Every small sound in the yard is turning slow and slower Sleep is right here, waiting warm for you to let it grow

  Chorus

  Cerys, the night has folded softly down around your bed Nobody's rushing you, nobody's counting what gets said Rest in the hush that's been saved just for you, only you Cerys, sleep easy, there's nothing waiting to be feared

  Verse 2

  Underneath the leaves the air keeps still like it's holding you close Shadows lie down gentle, not one of them means any harm You are held tighter than any rope tied around a branch Safe as the ground that never once let that old swing go

  Bridge

  Let the whole world hush now, let it wait outside your door You don't have to keep it turning anymore

  Chorus

  Cerys, the night has folded softly down around your bed Nobody's rushing you, nobody's counting what gets said Rest in the hush that's been saved just for you, only you Cerys, sleep easy, there's nothing waiting to be feared

  Outro

  Somewhere the tyre still rests where the pine needles fell Sleep now, you're held, and that is all there is to tell
