  Verse 1

  Soft little feathers are brushing against the old bark outside Somewhere a curtain is swaying so gently and slow Close your two eyes now and drift where the quiet things hide You are the warmest thing here that I know

  Chorus

  Delaney, hush now, the dark is only resting Sleep finds you softer than any rainy sky Nothing will wake you while these arms are your nesting Delaney, my whole heart is stitched to your lullaby

  Verse 2

  Down in the branches a small wing folds itself away Wind through the window comes gentle as your breath Nobody's leaving and nothing will take you from today Here in this room you are far from anything like fright

  Pre-chorus

  Feel how the night wraps around you loose and slow Every small sound outside is only settling to rest Let your whole body go heavy, there's nowhere else to go

  Chorus

  Delaney, hush now, the dark is only resting Sleep finds you softer than any rainy sky Nothing will wake you while these arms are your nesting Delaney, my whole heart is stitched to your lullaby

  Bridge

  Stay this small forever, just for tonight Wrapped where nothing sharp can reach you at all

  Chorus

  Delaney, hush now, the dark is only resting Sleep finds you softer than any rainy sky Nothing will wake you while these arms are your nesting Delaney, my whole heart is stitched to your lullaby

  Outro

  Somewhere that feather is still against the bark, unmoving You are already deep in the dream it was keeping

  Verse 1

  Far away the steel wheels click along a track carrying their hum through the quiet and the dark dust drifts slow through beams of silver light and here in my arms is exactly where you're at

  Chorus

  Delaney, my love, let the night hold you tight close those eyes and drift with the dust and the light nothing out there needs to reach you now Delaney, you're safe until the morning's bright

  Verse 2

  Moonbeams wander slow across the floor tonight settling soft on the blanket where you lie somewhere far a whistle calls and fades but you are held, you never have to wonder why

  Pre-chorus

  Listen how the distant clatter softens as it goes feel how warm this little room can be sleep is only one more breath away

  Chorus

  Delaney, my love, let the night hold you tight close those eyes and drift with the dust and the light nothing out there needs to reach you now Delaney, you're safe until the morning's bright

  Bridge

  Rock gently now, the way the old wheels roll steady as a heartbeat, soft and slow you are held closer than any distant sound wrapped in more than moonlight, wrapped in love you know

  Chorus

  Delaney, my love, let the night hold you tight close those eyes and drift with the dust and the light nothing out there needs to reach you now Delaney, you're safe until the morning's bright

  Outro

  Somewhere the wheels keep singing soft along the track but you are here, and you are held, and nothing calls you back

  Verse 1

  Yellow light is washing soft across the seats tonight Engine humming quiet like it's holding you so tight Raindrops on the window turn to little beads of gold You are warm and you are safe, held in from the cold

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes, the world can wait outside this door Nothing here can reach you, you don't need to keep the score Just the hum and just the light and one heart beating for

  Chorus

  Delaney, sleep is coming soft and slow and gainy Every breath you take is calm, every breath is rainy Nothing in this world could ever love you plainer Rest your head, my quiet one, my own Delaney

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the fogging glass the streetlights start to blur Engine settles into song, a low and steady purr You don't need to understand a single thing tonight Only feel the seat beneath you, feel the golden light

  Bridge

  Wherever you go, however far you roam This little glow will always call you home No storm outside can ever touch this quiet space

  Chorus

  Delaney, sleep is coming soft and slow and gainy Every breath you take is calm, every breath is rainy Nothing in this world could ever love you plainer Rest your head, my quiet one, my own Delaney

  Outro

  The light still hums its yellow song across the seat Sleep now, Delaney, safe and warm and sweet
