  Verse 1

  The wool fringe drifts so slowly along the old wooden floor soft as a whisper you barely could hear every colour of that quilt was chosen just for you, Donald and the dark outside tonight has nothing to fear

  Pre-chorus

  Your breathing slows to match the candle's gentle sway the whole wide house is settling down to rest and quiet wraps around you closer than the day

  Chorus

  Donald, the night is holding you so gently now soft as the wool that trails along the floor Donald, you are loved beyond what words can carry safe in this room and needing nothing more

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a thread of wool has stopped its wandering path curled at the edge where the shadows grow long you are the warmest thing this whole house is keeping tucked in as safe as a well remembered song

  Bridge

  Every stitch of that quilt was made with you in mind let your small hands go still, let your worries unwind

  Chorus

  Donald, the night is holding you so gently now soft as the wool that trails along the floor Donald, you are loved beyond what words can carry safe in this room and needing nothing more

  Outro

  Somewhere that fringe of wool has come to rest at last and so, dear one, may you, as the night grows deep and vast

• Quiet as the Wall

  A slow, soft lullaby for settling a little one named Donald, built around the tiny click of a radiator and the safety of a closed curtain.

  Verse 1

  The radiator clicks so soft against the wall tonight Behind the floral curtain all the world has gone to rest Donald, you are wrapped in warmth and gentle amber light Every hush around this room was made to keep you blessed

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes, the house is breathing slow and low Nothing in this room will ask you to be anywhere but here So let the quiet carry you to where the soft dreams go

  Chorus

  Donald, sleep, the night is holding you so gently now Warm and small beneath the ceiling, safe from any storm You are loved beyond whatever words could ever quite allow Donald, rest here where it's tender, rest here where it's warm

  Verse 2

  The click behind the curtain hums a tune too small to name Somewhere far away the wind is turning, but it can't get in You are curled up like a secret, safe from anything like blame Nothing has to happen now, no reason to begin

  Bridge

  Sleep can be a small warm room where nothing needs to change Hold that thought like it's a coal still glowing after dark

  Chorus

  Donald, sleep, the night is holding you so gently now Warm and small beneath the ceiling, safe from any storm You are loved beyond whatever words could ever quite allow Donald, rest here where it's tender, rest here where it's warm

  Outro

  The radiator clicks its last soft click against the wall And Donald, you are held here, softer than a curtain's fall

• Rest the Oar

  Gentle acoustic · Acoustic · Nylon guitar · Soft

  A slow, hushed lullaby for settling a little one named Donald, drawn from the image of stillness after rowing: oar laid down, water calm, everything safe till morning.

  Verse 1

  Rest the oar across the boat and let the water still Nothing pulls you now, my love, no current and no chill Close your eyes beneath the quiet dark Sleep will carry you where dreaming has no will

  Chorus

  Donald, hush now, all the rowing's done Float here safely till the rise of sun Donald, nothing calls you back tonight You are held already, you are the only one

  Verse 2

  Somewhere far the ripples fold themselves to sleep Every wave that rocked you now is soft and slow and deep You don't need to steer or reach or hold This is the hour when even rivers keep

  Pre-chorus

  Let your small hands loosen, let them drift and settle down Feel how the dark has wrapped you gently all around There is nowhere left to go but into

  Chorus

  Donald, hush now, all the rowing's done Float here safely till the rise of sun Donald, nothing calls you back tonight You are held already, you are the only one

  Bridge

  Whatever the day asked of you, it can wait outside this room No oar to lift, no shore to find, only you and this soft gloom

  Chorus

  Donald, hush now, all the rowing's done Float here safely till the rise of sun Donald, nothing calls you back tonight You are held already, you are the only one

  Outro

  Lay the oar down flat, let the water hold its breath Sleep now, Donald, safe till morning comes on soft, slow steps
