  Verse 1

  The lamp burns low and gold across the old woollen rug Every rough little thread is holding warmth just for you Outside the window the dark is soft as a gentle hug Nothing can reach you here, nothing untrue

  Pre-chorus

  The house breathes slow now, every corner settled and still Your small hand rests where the amber light falls warm and slow And sleep is coming gentle, waiting just past the windowsill

  Chorus

  Derek, the night is holding you soft and near Nothing will wake you, nothing will roam Derek, there is nothing at all to fear This rug, this lamp, this quiet, is home

  Verse 2

  The wool is coarse but warm beneath your drifting little hand Every fibre catches light the way your breathing finds its rhyme Somewhere far off the wind moves slow across the sleeping land Nothing will hurry you, we have all the time

  Chorus

  Derek, the night is holding you soft and near Nothing will wake you, nothing will roam Derek, there is nothing at all to fear This rug, this lamp, this quiet, is home

  Bridge

  Close your eyes now, let the amber glow keep watch tonight Sleep can carry you further than any road we know

  Chorus

  Derek, the night is holding you soft and near Nothing will wake you, nothing will roam Derek, there is nothing at all to fear This rug, this lamp, this quiet, is home

  Outro

  The lamp will still be burning low when morning comes to find you Wrapped in wool and amber light, and loved the whole night through

  Clarinet nightlight · Clarinet · Woodwind · Round

  A slow, hushed lullaby for winding down a night drive or a bedtime, built around the soft glow of streetlamps passing by and the safety of being held close.

  Verse 1

  Orange lamps go blinking softly past the window glass tonight Your buckle holds you steady while the whole world drifts away You watch the light slide over, quiet as a slow held breath I keep you safe inside this hush until the break of day

  Pre-chorus

  Every little light that passes waves and then it's gone Your eyes are growing heavy though you fight to keep them on So let the dark come closer, we are drifting into song

  Chorus

  Derek, close your eyes now, let the night wrap round you slow Nothing in the dark tonight can touch you where you go Derek, I am near you, closer than the streetlamps glow Sleep now, little Derek, that's the only thing to know

  Verse 2

  You are wrapped in warmth as softly as a blanket pulled up high Nothing but the hum of engines singing you a lullaby Rest your head against the quiet, let your small hands loosen free Drifting slow past sleepy windows, you are safe as safe can be

  Chorus

  Derek, close your eyes now, let the night wrap round you slow Nothing in the dark tonight can touch you where you go Derek, I am near you, closer than the streetlamps glow Sleep now, little Derek, that's the only thing to know

  Bridge

  Every light that blinks and fades is only saying goodnight You are held through every mile, however far or slight

  Chorus

  Derek, close your eyes now, let the night wrap round you slow Nothing in the dark tonight can touch you where you go Derek, I am near you, closer than the streetlamps glow Sleep now, little Derek, that's the only thing to know

  Outro

  The lamps still glow but softer now, they're fading out of sight Sleep on, my Derek, safe and warm, held close through all the night

• Far Down the Tracks

  Soft piano · Piano · Soft · Sleepy

  A slow, soft lullaby for Derek, built around two distant headlights glowing through fog beyond the garden fence, and the safety of the one small room they never reach.

  Verse 1

  Far beyond the fence the fog is rolling low and slow Two small lights are drifting where the quiet engines go But nothing out there matters more than breath beneath this roof You are held so gently here, all warm and safe and proof

  Pre-chorus

  Let the distant world keep turning past the garden gate Every worry waits outside and you don't have to wait Close your eyes now, let the hush come rolling in to stay

  Chorus

  Derek, Derek, sleep is calling soft and low Nothing out there needs you, nothing you must know Derek, you're the warmest thing this whole house owns tonight Rest now while the world goes by in far off yellow light

  Verse 2

  Somewhere down the tracks a train is humming out of sight Carrying its own small load of shadows through the night You are not a passenger on any road so far You're the reason this whole house feels steady as it are

  Bridge

  Fog will lift by morning, light will find another shape Nothing in the dark tonight has any claim to take You are tucked in closer than the quiet ever gets

  Chorus

  Derek, Derek, sleep is calling soft and low Nothing out there needs you, nothing you must know Derek, you're the warmest thing this whole house owns tonight Rest now while the world goes by in far off yellow light

  Outro

  The lights beyond the fence will fade to nothing but the fog And you'll be sleeping warm and safe, held closer than a hug
