  Verse 1

  Somewhere the water has gone smooth and still tonight Nothing is asking to be carried anymore Your small hands can finally let go of the light This is the calm that we were rowing toward

  Pre-chorus

  Lean your head where all the warmth is keeping Let the hush come find you where you lie There's nothing left to do tonight but

  Chorus

  Colin, the oars are resting now against the side Colin, the boat is yours and it will hold Nothing will wake you, nothing will need untying Sleep is the shore that's always safe to hold

  Verse 2

  Every splash and current has gone quiet in the dark All the going somewhere has softened into rest You don't have to steer through anything tonight Just drift the way the calmest water does best

  Pre-chorus

  Lean your head where all the warmth is keeping Let the hush come find you where you lie There's nothing left to do tonight but

  Chorus

  Colin, the oars are resting now against the side Colin, the boat is yours and it will hold Nothing will wake you, nothing will need untying Sleep is the shore that's always safe to hold

  Bridge

  Whatever you carried today can rest against the hull Nobody needs rowing till the morning comes to call

  Chorus

  Colin, the oars are resting now against the side Colin, the boat is yours and it will hold Nothing will wake you, nothing will need untying Sleep is the shore that's always safe to hold

  Outro

  Somewhere the oars are leaning, quiet, against the side Sleep now, Colin, still and safe till morning's light

  Verse 1

  A single stripe of gold slips underneath the door tonight It stretches down the floorboards soft and low and slow with light The whole house holds its breath and settles into calm and rest And you are held the safest here, right where you're loved the best

  Pre-chorus

  The hush is gathering gently all around your little bed The quiet wraps its arms around each thought inside your head So let the day go softly now and let it drift instead

  Chorus

  Colin, close your eyes now, let the whole wide world go still Nothing in the dark tonight is coming near to harm or chill Colin, you're the warmest light this house has ever known Sleep now, Colin, safe and sound, you're never here alone

  Verse 2

  The corridor grows darker but that stripe of gold stays bright It watches over sleepy floors and keeps its steady light Somewhere down the hallway there's a heart that beats for you And every breath you take tonight is loved the whole night through

  Chorus

  Colin, close your eyes now, let the whole wide world go still Nothing in the dark tonight is coming near to harm or chill Colin, you're the warmest light this house has ever known Sleep now, Colin, safe and sound, you're never here alone

  Bridge

  Rest your head where all is soft and slow and warm and kind Let the whole night carry you and leave your worries far behind

  Chorus

  Colin, close your eyes now, let the whole wide world go still Nothing in the dark tonight is coming near to harm or chill Colin, you're the warmest light this house has ever known Sleep now, Colin, safe and sound, you're never here alone

  Outro

  That stripe of gold will still be there when morning finds its way So sleep now, gently held by love, until the light of day

  Verse 1

  Lace at the window is swaying so slow above your head Rain on the glass is humming a tune just for you Nothing tonight can reach you inside this quiet bed Sleep is already folding you into its calm and its blue

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere the wind is learning to whisper instead of roar Softly the night is settling its weight upon the floor Close your eyes now, Colin, there's nothing to wait for

  Chorus

  Colin, the dark is only a blanket that loves you well Curtains keep brushing like hands that are smoothing your hair Colin, there's nothing this house wouldn't do to tell You are the reason the quiet feels warm as a prayer

  Verse 2

  Every small breath that you take fills the whole room with peace Piano notes fall like rain finding its way back home Nobody needs you to hurry, no reason to cease You can just drift, little one, wherever your dreaming will roam

  Chorus

  Colin, the dark is only a blanket that loves you well Curtains keep brushing like hands that are smoothing your hair Colin, there's nothing this house wouldn't do to tell You are the reason the quiet feels warm as a prayer

  Bridge

  Hold onto nothing, just float and let go Morning will find you still safe here, still whole

  Chorus

  Colin, the dark is only a blanket that loves you well Curtains keep brushing like hands that are smoothing your hair Colin, there's nothing this house wouldn't do to tell You are the reason the quiet feels warm as a prayer

  Outro

  Lace at the window will still be there when you wake Sleep now, my Colin, held safe for love's own sake
