  Verse 1

  Raindrops are sliding slow down the windowpane tonight Somewhere an engine hums low and out of sight Nothing outside this room can touch you here You're wrapped in warmth with nothing left to fear

  Chorus

  Dominic, the whole wide world can wait till morning Rain keeps time while the dark is softly forming You are the calm that this house was always missing Dominic, sleep now, safe beneath my listening

  Verse 2

  The glass holds every drop like it holds you close A quiet hum drifts by like a gentle ghost Nothing needs to happen, nothing needs to start You are already whole, you are already art

  Pre-chorus

  Let your breathing slow to match the falling rain Let the hum outside dissolve your day's small pain Close your eyes now, drift where the soft light leans

  Chorus

  Dominic, the whole wide world can wait till morning Rain keeps time while the dark is softly forming You are the calm that this house was always missing Dominic, sleep now, safe beneath my listening

  Bridge

  Every drop that falls is only saying stay Every hum that fades is carrying the day away You are held, you are kept, you are never far from sight

  Chorus

  Dominic, the whole wide world can wait till morning Rain keeps time while the dark is softly forming You are the calm that this house was always missing Dominic, sleep now, safe beneath my listening

  Outro

  The rain still slides down the glass while the hum fades to nothing You sleep now, wrapped in all my quiet loving

  Verse 1

  The wool fringe brushes soft against the grey of quiet trousers Your small hand curls around a thread and holds it tight I feel your breathing slowing as the lamp light dims to nothing And every worry folds away into the fading light

  Pre-chorus

  The room goes softer, hushed and warm as evening settles round us Your eyelids heavy, drifting now to somewhere calm and slow I'll stay right here and hold you close till morning finds us

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Dominic, the night is calm and kind There's nothing here to fear, no storm you'll ever find Rest now, Dominic, you're held and you're not alone This quiet room tonight is yours, is safe, is home

  Verse 2

  You yawn against my shoulder while the clock ticks soft and slowly The wool fringe settles still now, resting where it lay I hum a tune I don't quite know but somehow it feels holy And all the noise of daylight simply drifts away

  Bridge

  However far the morning is, however dark it seems You're wrapped in something steady now that carries you through dreams No harm will find you here tonight, no need to be afraid

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Dominic, the night is calm and kind There's nothing here to fear, no storm you'll ever find Rest now, Dominic, you're held and you're not alone This quiet room tonight is yours, is safe, is home

  Outro

  The wool fringe rests so still now, soft against the grey Sleep on, my dear one, sleep until the light of day

  Verse 1

  Outside the window the snow is falling soft and slow It settles on the black iron lamp without a sound The whole dark street is quiet and letting the light glow But here inside the warmth is where you can be found

  Chorus

  Dominic, the night is wide but you are held so near Every hour that passes only brings you closer to me Sleep now, Dominic, there is nothing left to fear Safe as the last light on a snow covered tree

  Verse 2

  The flakes keep sticking gently to the lamp out in the cold Building soft and slowly like a blanket made of white You are wrapped up warmer than any story ever told Nothing in this whole wide world could touch you tonight

  Pre-chorus

  The house grows dim around us and the fire settles low Your breathing slows to something calm and easy and true So let the hush come closer, let the quiet start to grow

  Chorus

  Dominic, the night is wide but you are held so near Every hour that passes only brings you closer to me Sleep now, Dominic, there is nothing left to fear Safe as the last light on a snow covered tree

  Bridge

  Somewhere past the glass the whole world turns to white and still Nothing out there matters more than the breath you're breathing now

  Chorus

  Dominic, the night is wide but you are held so near Every hour that passes only brings you closer to me Sleep now, Dominic, there is nothing left to fear Safe as the last light on a snow covered tree

  Outro

  The snow still falls on the old iron lamp, so soft, so slow And you are held here warmer than any light could ever glow
