  Verse 1

  Soot comes falling slow behind the old red brick tonight You are settling down as quiet as the embers glow Every little sound outside has softened out of sight And the warmth stays here with you, however cold winds blow

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the darkness gather soft around your bed There is nothing out there waiting that can reach you here Close your eyes, my love, and let the quiet fill your head

  Chorus

  Cole, the fire is banked and low and steady through the night Nothing in this house will stir before the morning sun Sleep, Cole, sleep, and let the grate hold all its gentle light You are held here safe and warm till every dream is done

  Verse 2

  Somewhere up the chimney, one last curl of smoke drifts free And it carries off the worries of the whole long day You are wrapped in blankets warmer than a cup of tea Let the small flame guard your sleeping while the shadows stay

  Bridge

  No need to keep one eye open, love, no need to fear Every gentle sound around you only means you're near

  Chorus

  Cole, the fire is banked and low and steady through the night Nothing in this house will stir before the morning sun Sleep, Cole, sleep, and let the grate hold all its gentle light You are held here safe and warm till every dream is done

  Outro

  Somewhere the last soot settles soft and still upon the floor And you sleep on, held closer now than ever, safe once more

  Verse 1

  Out where the bean leaves are bending so low tonight Dew has come down to rest gentle, silver and bright You are the weight that the whole quiet garden can feel Sleepy and safe while the moonlight turns everything still

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere a crescent is hung low and thin overhead Watching the hush settle soft around your little bed Come now and let all the day's little worries unfold

  Chorus

  Cole, my love, let the whole night grow slow and low Dew on the leaves and a moon like a curl of gold You are the warmth that keeps every shadow at bay Cole, hold my hand and just drift the whole night away

  Verse 2

  Under the pale bit of moon the whole garden leans in Holding its breath for the hush that the evening brings Nothing can touch you while everything round you stays still Wrapped up in quiet the way that the dew wraps the hill

  Chorus

  Cole, my love, let the whole night grow slow and low Dew on the leaves and a moon like a curl of gold You are the warmth that keeps every shadow at bay Cole, hold my hand and just drift the whole night away

  Bridge

  Rest now, the weight of the world can wait by the door Nothing tonight will ask more of you than before

  Chorus

  Cole, my love, let the whole night grow slow and low Dew on the leaves and a moon like a curl of gold You are the warmth that keeps every shadow at bay Cole, hold my hand and just drift the whole night away

  Outro

  Somewhere the dew still rests heavy and calm on the vine Sleep now, my Cole, you are held and you always are mine

• A Beam Across the Wall

  Harp lullaby · Harp · Gentle · Flowing

  A slow harp lullaby that follows a beam of light across a dark room to say what it means to watch over someone this small and this loved.

  Verse 1

  A far yellow beam is sweeping over the wall so slow It slides through the dark like it has somewhere quiet to go But nothing outside is worth more than this room tonight You settle down deeper wherever that soft light seems to flow

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the hush come and hold you still Every shadow in this room means you no ill So let the night carry you gently up over the hill

  Chorus

  Cole, you are the warmest thing this whole house knows Sleep now, safe as embers when the fire is low Nothing in the dark can touch what your small heart holds Cole, my quiet one, this is how the calm night goes

  Verse 2

  The beam keeps its slow watch, steady as a heartbeat can be Tracing a soft path none of us but you can see You breathe out the day like it was never any weight at all And the whole dim room leans in to let you simply be

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the hush come and hold you still Every shadow in this room means you no ill So let the night carry you gently up over the hill

  Chorus

  Cole, you are the warmest thing this whole house knows Sleep now, safe as embers when the fire is low Nothing in the dark can touch what your small heart holds Cole, my quiet one, this is how the calm night goes

  Bridge

  Wherever that light lands, may you feel it there too Held soft as a promise that keeps coming back to you

  Chorus

  Cole, you are the warmest thing this whole house knows Sleep now, safe as embers when the fire is low Nothing in the dark can touch what your small heart holds Cole, my quiet one, this is how the calm night goes

  Outro

  The beam moves on slowly, its work for tonight nearly done Sleep well, my Cole, you are loved before the light or the sun
