  Verse 1

  A small yellow light is glowing soft beside your bed tonight Falling through the blue cotton sheets in the gentlest kind of light Everything is quiet now, the whole wide world has slowed right down You are wrapped in warmth and stillness, safest thing that can be found

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes, let the hush come rolling gently over you Every breath is carrying you softer than the sky is blue Nothing here can hurry you, there's nowhere else to be but here

  Chorus

  Declan, Declan, sleep is calling soft and low Rest your head, there's nowhere in the world you need to go You are held here, Declan, warm beneath the fading light Drifting gently, drifting easy, into sleep tonight

  Verse 2

  The little light will watch you while the whole house settles down to rest Nothing in the dark can touch you, you are held and you are blessed Every shadow softens gently when it knows that you are near Sleep is only sweetness waiting, nothing here to bring you fear

  Chorus

  Declan, Declan, sleep is calling soft and low Rest your head, there's nowhere in the world you need to go You are held here, Declan, warm beneath the fading light Drifting gently, drifting easy, into sleep tonight

  Bridge

  However far the night may stretch, you're never truly far from love Somebody's always watching over, gentle as the stars above

  Chorus

  Declan, Declan, sleep is calling soft and low Rest your head, there's nowhere in the world you need to go You are held here, Declan, warm beneath the fading light Drifting gently, drifting easy, into sleep tonight

  Outro

  The little light still glows there soft behind the blue tonight Sleep now, you are loved completely, held here till the morning light

  Verse 1

  The floorboards creak soft under one careful wool sock tonight Easing you gently toward the edge of a dream Every small sound in this house is turned down for your light Nothing tonight is louder than how loved you seem

  Chorus

  Declan, the dark is only a blanket pulled slow Rest now, the whole tired house breathes with you Declan, you're held here whichever way the wind blows There's nowhere as safe as this quiet room

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a sock still pads down a hall grown thin with night Carrying warmth from one sleepy room to the next You are the reason these floors learn to walk so light Guarding the small steady rise of your chest

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes, let the ceiling turn to soft grey Nothing tonight asks anything more of you Just this breath, and the hush that leads the way

  Chorus

  Declan, the dark is only a blanket pulled slow Rest now, the whole tired house breathes with you Declan, you're held here whichever way the wind blows There's nowhere as safe as this quiet room

  Bridge

  Sleep gathers you slow, the way warmth gathers a room Every creak on the floor is a hand held near You are the calm this whole night is leaning toward

  Chorus

  Declan, the dark is only a blanket pulled slow Rest now, the whole tired house breathes with you Declan, you're held here whichever way the wind blows There's nowhere as safe as this quiet room

  Outro

  The floor settles quiet, the house folds its wings round you Sleep well, you are carried all the way through

  Verse 1

  Steam is rising soft and slow above the water's gentle glow Warmth is wrapped around you now, and nothing here will let you go The whole wide world has gone to hush, and dimmed its light for you to rest This quiet room will hold you close, you are the calmest, safest guest

  Pre-chorus

  The candle dims, the water cools, but you are warm beneath my arm Every worry drifts away like steam that rises soft and calm Close your eyes now, let it come, the sleep that keeps you safe from harm

  Chorus

  Declan, Declan, drift away on breath as soft as falling snow There is nowhere you could go where you're not loved, so you should know Hush now, Declan, let the hours turn so easy, turn so slow Sleep is calling gentle now, and I won't let the night's wind blow

  Verse 2

  The lamp turns low, the water's still, and shadows settle on the wall You are wrapped in something softer than a blanket after all Every little sound tonight is far away and losing sound This is where you're meant to be, right here where love has always found

  Pre-chorus

  The candle dims, the water cools, but you are warm beneath my arm Every worry drifts away like steam that rises soft and calm Close your eyes now, let it come, the sleep that keeps you safe from harm

  Chorus

  Declan, Declan, drift away on breath as soft as falling snow There is nowhere you could go where you're not loved, so you should know Hush now, Declan, let the hours turn so easy, turn so slow Sleep is calling gentle now, and I won't let the night's wind blow

  Bridge

  Somewhere past the edge of dreaming, someone's watching over you Nothing in the dark can reach you, nothing sharp or hard or true

  Chorus

  Declan, Declan, drift away on breath as soft as falling snow There is nowhere you could go where you're not loved, so you should know Hush now, Declan, let the hours turn so easy, turn so slow Sleep is calling gentle now, and I won't let the night's wind blow

  Outro

  The steam has settled, and the water's still and quiet now You are safe and warm and sleeping, and I'm watching over you somehow
