  Verse 1

  Somewhere near you a needle rises and falls so slow Threads of wool going quiet as the lamp burns low Every stitch is a promise that only you would know Made to keep you warmer than the wind could ever go

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing in this room is asking you to wake Every sound tonight is soft for your own sake So let your breathing settle into all the peace we make

  Chorus

  Christine, the dark is gentle when you're held this near Nothing in the shadows has a reason to appear Rest inside the quiet, let the whole wide night grow clear There is nowhere safer for Christine than right here

  Verse 2

  The wool moves over fabric like a tide too small to see Rising with a rhythm slower than a heartbeat has to be Nothing in this house tonight is rushing you or me We could stay like this till morning, easy as can be

  Pre-chorus

  No clock is asking anything of you tonight Every hour is soft and every hour feels right So close your eyes and drift into the warm and fading light

  Chorus

  Christine, the dark is gentle when you're held this near Nothing in the shadows has a reason to appear Rest inside the quiet, let the whole wide night grow clear There is nowhere safer for Christine than right here

  Bridge

  Somebody is watching long after you have gone to sleep Somebody will keep this small room warm and deep

  Chorus

  Christine, the dark is gentle when you're held this near Nothing in the shadows has a reason to appear Rest inside the quiet, let the whole wide night grow clear There is nowhere safer for Christine than right here

  Outro

  Somewhere the thread is still, the needle finally laid down Sleep now, Christine, safe and steady, wrapped in warmth and gone from sound

  Verse 1

  Frost ferns are spreading soft across the cold glass pane while warm inside the dark you're drifting home again above the white wood slats the whole wide house is still and nothing in the night can touch you or ever will

  Pre-chorus

  Outside the glass turns silver, quiet and serene but here inside the warmth is where you've always been so let the hush come closer, soft as breath between

  Chorus

  Christine, the night is gentle, and it holds you like a dream the whole wide world is sleeping underneath the frost's soft sheen you are the warmest corner of this cold and quiet scene rest now, my little Christine, safe as you have ever been

  Verse 2

  The window keeps its patterns while you keep your slow small breath and every hush around you is as soft as it gets the dark is not a shadow, it's a blanket drawn up high so close your eyes and trust it, let the quiet pass you by

  Bridge

  Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will roam you are held and treasured, you are always home

  Chorus

  Christine, the night is gentle, and it holds you like a dream the whole wide world is sleeping underneath the frost's soft sheen you are the warmest corner of this cold and quiet scene rest now, my little Christine, safe as you have ever been

  Outro

  The frost will keep its patterns on the glass till morning light and you'll be here still dreaming, warm and held, held through the night

• Far Across the Field

  Rocking chair waltz · Waltz · Rocking · Slow

  A slow rocking waltz for settling a baby or young child to sleep, built around the distant sound of a train easing through the night.

  Verse 1

  Somewhere a train is rolling slow through the dark and the green Its wheels are humming soft on tracks that nobody can see Nothing that far away could ever trouble your rest You are the calmest thing in this whole quiet scene

  Chorus

  Christine, the night has folded gently down around you Every small sound out there is only passing through Christine, you never have to carry what is far off Sleep is the only place I want to lead you to

  Verse 2

  The wheels keep clicking on, steady as a heartbeat should be Carrying nothing that will ever come and find you here Let the sound go by like water going under a bridge Nothing about tonight was ever meant to be unclear

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, there is nothing moving closer than my arms The dark outside is empty, and the field is calm and wide So let the far off engine sing you gently to my side

  Chorus

  Christine, the night has folded gently down around you Every small sound out there is only passing through Christine, you never have to carry what is far off Sleep is the only place I want to lead you to

  Bridge

  Let the whole loud world go rolling on without you There is nothing out there worth the leaving of this bed

  Chorus

  Christine, the night has folded gently down around you Every small sound out there is only passing through Christine, you never have to carry what is far off Sleep is the only place I want to lead you to

  Outro

  Far off now the wheels are fading into the green Sleep, my Christine, the whole soft field is dreaming too
