Verse 1
A soft light is creeping under the wooden door tonight Right onto the carpet stair where your small feet love to go Nothing out there can reach you while you're wrapped up warm and tight Close your eyes now, let the hush settle soft and slow
Pre-chorus
Somewhere past that amber glow the whole house breathes and waits Every corner of this night is holding you in its arms Sleep is coming closer now, so gentle as it grows
Chorus
Dakota, the light is low and the night is only kind Nobody could love you more than the ones who watch you dream You're the warmest thing in this house, the best thing I could find Dakota, hush now, safe in gold, exactly where you should be
Verse 2
Down the hall the floor creaks soft beneath a settling home Shadows curl up gentle in the corners of the stair Nothing in this house tonight will leave you here alone Sleep will hold you steady like the warmth still in the air
Pre-chorus
Somewhere past that amber glow the whole house breathes and waits Every corner of this night is holding you in its arms Sleep is coming closer now, so gentle as it grows
Chorus
Dakota, the light is low and the night is only kind Nobody could love you more than the ones who watch you dream You're the warmest thing in this house, the best thing I could find Dakota, hush now, safe in gold, exactly where you should be
Bridge
Rest your head, there's nothing here to fear Every breath you take is safe and near
Chorus
Dakota, the light is low and the night is only kind Nobody could love you more than the ones who watch you dream You're the warmest thing in this house, the best thing I could find Dakota, hush now, safe in gold, exactly where you should be
Outro
That amber glow will still be there when morning comes to find you Sleep now, Dakota, warm and held, with all that light behind you
Soft as Wool

Verse 1
The wool hangs still where the old chair waits in shadow Every thread is soft and none of them will fray You are wrapped in something warmer than you know And the dark tonight has nothing left to say
Pre-chorus
Close your eyes, the room is settling into quiet Every breath is pulling softer than before Sleep is coming closer with the light turned low
Chorus
Dakota, the night is folding gentle around you Nothing here will ever pull away You are held the way the fringe holds shadow Dakota, safe until the break of day
Verse 2
The armchair keeps its shape while the whole house dreams Nothing needs to move, nothing needs to stir You are curled up smaller than the smallest seams and still the whole wide dark belongs to you, I'm sure
Pre-chorus
Close your eyes, the room is settling into quiet Every breath is pulling softer than before Sleep is coming closer with the light turned low
Chorus
Dakota, the night is folding gentle around you Nothing here will ever pull away You are held the way the fringe holds shadow Dakota, safe until the break of day
Bridge
Rest now, there is nothing left to carry Every worry has already drifted far
Chorus
Dakota, the night is folding gentle around you Nothing here will ever pull away You are held the way the fringe holds shadow Dakota, safe until the break of day
Outro
The wool still hangs soft where the old chair is dreaming And you are the warmest thing that this house has ever known
Slow as the Pendulum

Verse 1
The house has gone quiet, every window turned to grey Somewhere behind glass a slow gold pendulum will sway I hear it keeping time while you are curled up small And nothing in this whole wide house will lead you astray
Pre-chorus
Let your breathing slow to match that patient wooden beat Let the day dissolve away from your tired little feet There is nowhere left to be but here, and warm, and deep
Chorus
Sleep now, Dakota, the dark is only soft Nothing out there tonight will find you or make you lost I will watch the small hand turning, low light and low key Hush now, Dakota, you're the calm this whole house has sought
Verse 2
The clock behind the oak door doesn't hurry, doesn't fear Back and forth it goes so gently, always staying near You are held the way that pendulum is held by time Steady, sure, and never far from someone who loves you dear
Chorus
Sleep now, Dakota, the dark is only soft Nothing out there tonight will find you or make you lost I will watch the small hand turning, low light and low key Hush now, Dakota, you're the calm this whole house has sought
Bridge
Tick by tick the whole wide night grows softer, grows so slow Every swing says you are loved more than you'll ever know
Chorus
Sleep now, Dakota, the dark is only soft Nothing out there tonight will find you or make you lost I will watch the small hand turning, low light and low key Hush now, Dakota, you're the calm this whole house has sought
Outro
Somewhere behind glass the pendulum will keep its gentle sway Sleep on, little one, we're both still here at the close of day
