  Verse 1

  White foam slides over the stones so soft and slow tonight Every wave that comes to shore is gentle in its light Somewhere past the dark the sky goes on so wide and clear Close your eyes now, love, there's nothing in the world to fear

  Chorus

  Darlene, the water knows your name and hums it low Rest your head, Darlene, and let the tide just come and go Sleep is close and calm and deep, serene and warm and true There is nothing in this wide night that could ever trouble you

  Verse 2

  Somewhere the sea breathes out and pulls the foam back with the moon Nothing hurries in this hour, nothing comes too soon You are safe beneath a sky that holds you like a friend Every little wave that rolls will bring you home again

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the quiet water carry all you carry Let the dark stones keep their watch so you don't have to worry Sleep is coming closer now, soft as foam on sand

  Chorus

  Darlene, the water knows your name and hums it low Rest your head, Darlene, and let the tide just come and go Sleep is close and calm and deep, serene and warm and true There is nothing in this wide night that could ever trouble you

  Bridge

  Stones stay still while soft foam turns them slowly, slowly clean Nothing in this night will ever hurry you between You are held as gently as the shore is held by sea

  Chorus

  Darlene, the water knows your name and hums it low Rest your head, Darlene, and let the tide just come and go Sleep is close and calm and deep, serene and warm and true There is nothing in this wide night that could ever trouble you

  Outro

  Somewhere still the foam runs soft across the same dark stones Sleep now, love, the wide sky holds you safe until the dawn

  Verse 1

  The leaves outside are turning slowly darker in the yard But nothing in this room could ever touch you, resting here I'll leave the hose still dripping softly, water falling far And gather every worry up until the morning's clear

  Pre-chorus

  The dark is only night pulling a blanket round the trees Nothing out there wants to reach you, nothing means you harm So let your busy little heartbeat slow into the breeze

  Chorus

  Darlene, the whole wide night is holding still just to keep you safe Softer than a shadow settling quiet in between You are the calm the evening reaches for when light gives way Sleep now, my Darlene, my own, my evergreen

  Verse 2

  The garden's turning black and green to something soft and blue Water keeps on falling gently, patient as can be I think of all the mornings still arriving just for you And how each one will find you closer, safer, wrapped in me

  Chorus

  Darlene, the whole wide night is holding still just to keep you safe Softer than a shadow settling quiet in between You are the calm the evening reaches for when light gives way Sleep now, my Darlene, my own, my evergreen

  Bridge

  Let the hose keep dripping soft out in the dark You are held much closer than you'll ever have to know

  Chorus

  Darlene, the whole wide night is holding still just to keep you safe Softer than a shadow settling quiet in between You are the calm the evening reaches for when light gives way Sleep now, my Darlene, my own, my evergreen

  Outro

  The leaves will turn to green again when morning comes round soon And you'll still be my quiet certain evergreen till noon

  Verse 1

  Somewhere a floorboard sighs beneath the weight of resting feet Warmth is leaking slowly out as evening turns to blue You are curled up safe and small beneath the woollen sheet Nothing in this house tonight will come to trouble you

  Pre-chorus

  Listen how the radiator hums its slowing song The wood beside you settles like it's breathing right along Close your eyes now, love, and let the quiet carry you along

  Chorus

  Darlene, the house is holding still and holding you the same Every creak and every tick is calling out your name Sleep is coming gentle now, so soft it needs no reason Darlene, you are safe here through the turning of the season

  Verse 2

  Shadows on the ceiling move so slow they barely stir Nothing sharp or loud tonight, just breathing, soft and low Somewhere past the window frost is settling like a purr You don't need to know the hour, only that I'm here, and so

  Bridge

  Hold the hush the way the old wood holds its creak Rest inside the calm no cold can ever reach

  Chorus

  Darlene, the house is holding still and holding you the same Every creak and every tick is calling out your name Sleep is coming gentle now, so soft it needs no reason Darlene, you are safe here through the turning of the season

  Outro

  Let the wood keep creaking soft while all the warmth runs low Sleep now, little Darlene, there is nowhere else to go
