  Verse 1

  Close your eyes now, let the carriage rock you slow Branches lean down low to keep the dark from reaching in You are held here, safer than the world could ever know Sleep is waiting soft and warm beneath your chin

  Chorus

  Deborah, my own, the night is gentle where you lie Nothing in the dark will ever come to find you here Hush now, Deborah, there is no need to cry Sleep is close and calm and you are always dear

  Verse 2

  Heavy branches bend to keep you shaded from the moon Every creak and sway is just the world rocking you to rest Somewhere far away the morning waits, but not too soon You are wrapped in dark that only means you're blessed

  Pre-chorus

  Feel the wheels go quiet as the road turns into dreaming Let your small hands loosen, let your breathing slow and fall Something soft is coming, something warm is gleaming

  Chorus

  Deborah, my own, the night is gentle where you lie Nothing in the dark will ever come to find you here Hush now, Deborah, there is no need to cry Sleep is close and calm and you are always dear

  Bridge

  No harm can climb this high, no cold can reach this deep Rest now, little one, there's nothing left to fear

  Chorus

  Deborah, my own, the night is gentle where you lie Nothing in the dark will ever come to find you here Hush now, Deborah, there is no need to cry Sleep is close and calm and you are always dear

  Outro

  Still the branches bend to shade the small and sleeping You are cradled safe while all the dark keeps quiet watch

  Verse 1

  Out on the wire the small birds fold their wings in brown feathers settling soft as evening starts to begin Everything outside is turning gentle, turning slow and here inside you're warm, and that's all you need to know

  Pre-chorus

  The wire hums quiet where the sleepy birds are pressed the sky is going grey and soon will give its best so let your breathing follow how the whole world starts to rest

  Chorus

  Deborah, the dusk is falling soft and slow you are the warmest thing that this old night could know Sleep now, Deborah, let the quiet be your friend you are held, you are loved, and this day has a gentle end

  Verse 2

  One bird leans closer to another on the line and that small nearness is a kind of gift, a sign Nothing has to happen now, nothing has to be just this hush, just this rest, just you close to me

  Bridge

  Whatever the day carried, it can lay itself down here every worry gets to rest now that the dark is near

  Chorus

  Deborah, the dusk is falling soft and slow you are the warmest thing that this old night could know Sleep now, Deborah, let the quiet be your friend you are held, you are loved, and this day has a gentle end

  Outro

  The wire will still be there come morning, the birds will fly away but you'll wake up loved the same as you were kept this way

• Steady as the Night

  Verse 1

  Somewhere behind a wooden door a pendulum swings slow Keeping the time so softly that only love can hear Nothing will hurry tonight and nothing needs to go You are the calm at the centre, you are held so near

  Pre-chorus

  The house breathes low around you, every corner kind Every tick of the clock is folding the day away And still there is one more thing that waits for you to find

  Chorus

  Deborah, Deborah, sleep now, the night is fairer here Nothing can touch you while the dark stays warm and near Rest in the quiet that has always been your carer Deborah, you are the softest name I know how to say

  Verse 2

  The walnut cabinet gleams a little in the low light Steady as a heartbeat that never learned to race Sleep is only the hush that follows you through the night Wrapped in the same warm corner of a safe, small place

  Chorus

  Deborah, Deborah, sleep now, the night is fairer here Nothing can touch you while the dark stays warm and near Rest in the quiet that has always been your carer Deborah, you are the softest name I know how to say

  Bridge

  Let the slow swing carry every worry far from you Let the dark be gentle, let the dark be true

  Chorus

  Deborah, Deborah, sleep now, the night is fairer here Nothing can touch you while the dark stays warm and near Rest in the quiet that has always been your carer Deborah, you are the softest name I know how to say

  Outro

  Somewhere the pendulum swings on, keeping watch till light Sleep well, Deborah, you are safe within the night
