  Verse 1

  Watch how the small light drifts across the white curtain tonight Nothing out there in the dark street can trouble this room or this light Soft little motes turning slow, hanging still in the air You are the warmest thing here, little Edna, held safe and held right

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the hush settle over your chest Nothing you carried today needs carrying past this small rest Just breathe with the dark, let it fold you in soft and undressed

  Chorus

  Edna, the night has gone quiet and kind just for you Curtains are drawn and the whole street has softened its view Nothing can reach you, no worry, no sound, no unrest Sleep now, my Edna, there's nowhere that's safer than here

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a streetlamp is humming a low steady song of its own Here in this room there is only your breathing, so even, so slow Dust keeps on turning as if it has nowhere to be You are the reason this whole quiet house doesn't feel so alone

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the hush settle over your chest Nothing you carried today needs carrying past this small rest Just breathe with the dark, let it fold you in soft and undressed

  Chorus

  Edna, the night has gone quiet and kind just for you Curtains are drawn and the whole street has softened its view Nothing can reach you, no worry, no sound, no unrest Sleep now, my Edna, there's nowhere that's safer than here

  Bridge

  Whatever the dark holds beyond this small room, it can wait Here you are wanted, you're held, you are never too late

  Chorus

  Edna, the night has gone quiet and kind just for you Curtains are drawn and the whole street has softened its view Nothing can reach you, no worry, no sound, no unrest Sleep now, my Edna, there's nowhere that's safer than here

  Outro

  Still the light drifts, slow and low, through the white curtain thread Sleep now, little Edna, the whole quiet world holds your head

  Verse 1

  Somewhere the water is lapping soft under the old wooden pier Steady and slow like a heartbeat that only you're meant to hear Nothing can reach you, no current can carry you far from this bed Rest now, my darling, and let all the noise of the day fade instead

  Chorus

  Edna, the night is a harbour and you are the ship coming home Quietly rocking, you're held here, you never need drift off alone Close your eyes gently, let sleep pull you soft like the tide Edna, I'm with you, I'm right here, I'm here by your side

  Verse 2

  You are the calm at the centre of every wave rolling by Nothing that moves in the dark tonight ever needs make you cry I hold what is precious the way that the shoreline holds the sea Whatever you dream of tonight, may it carry you gently to me

  Pre-chorus

  Hear how the water goes quiet the closer it comes to the shore Feel how your breathing goes slower than ever it has gone before Something is closing around you, softer than what came before

  Chorus

  Edna, the night is a harbour and you are the ship coming home Quietly rocking, you're held here, you never need drift off alone Close your eyes gently, let sleep pull you soft like the tide Edna, I'm with you, I'm right here, I'm here by your side

  Bridge

  No storm ever reaches this far, no wind ever troubles this deep Only the dark and the water, only you drifting to sleep

  Chorus

  Edna, the night is a harbour and you are the ship coming home Quietly rocking, you're held here, you never need drift off alone Close your eyes gently, let sleep pull you soft like the tide Edna, I'm with you, I'm right here, I'm here by your side

  Outro

  Far off the pier still stands quiet while the water keeps lapping below Sleep now, my Edna, and know you are loved wherever you go

  Verse 1

  Small amber circles drift across the ceiling above your bed They wander soft and slow like they are floating just for you Nothing in this room can touch the quiet that they spread Rest inside this glow, there is nothing you must do

  Chorus

  Edna, close your eyes, the night has room for you The dark is only velvet wrapping soft around your bed Every star tonight is holding still for Edna too Sleep now, little one, there's nothing waiting to be said

  Verse 2

  The light moves gentle circles like a hand upon your hair It never rushes, never fades, it simply stays with you Whatever waits tomorrow is not something you need bear Tonight the whole wide world has narrowed down to something true

  Pre-chorus

  Your breathing slows to match the hush that settles on the room The amber light keeps watch as shadows soften into blue And somewhere in the quiet, sleep is coming to you soon

  Chorus

  Edna, close your eyes, the night has room for you The dark is only velvet wrapping soft around your bed Every star tonight is holding still for Edna too Sleep now, little one, there's nothing waiting to be said

  Bridge

  You are held here safe and steady while the whole house settles down No sound but your own breathing, soft and even, calm and slow

  Chorus

  Edna, close your eyes, the night has room for you The dark is only velvet wrapping soft around your bed Every star tonight is holding still for Edna too Sleep now, little one, there's nothing waiting to be said

  Outro

  The amber circles fade now as your breathing turns to rest Sleep on, dear Edna, you are held and you are blessed
