  Verse 1

  Somewhere a pendulum swings soft behind the glass door and faint little chimes go on drifting down the floor you rest in the hush that comes after each sound wrapped up in the quiet that gathers around

  Pre-chorus

  Down the dark hallway the echoes grow thin listen how gently the night tucks you in hold on to that stillness, let it carry you in

  Chorus

  Eileen, my Eileen, the hour is serene hush now and drift where the chimes have been you are the calm between one breath and the next Eileen, sleep easy, there's nothing to dread

  Verse 2

  Somewhere that pendulum rocks slow behind the glass time moves so gently it barely seems to pass you are the warmth that stays after the light dims safe in the arms that are holding you in

  Pre-chorus

  Down the dark hallway the echoes grow thin listen how gently the night tucks you in hold on to that stillness, let it carry you in

  Chorus

  Eileen, my Eileen, the hour is serene hush now and drift where the chimes have been you are the calm between one breath and the next Eileen, sleep easy, there's nothing to dread

  Bridge

  Every soft chime is a promise repeated that you are held close and you are completed nothing can reach you while this house breathes slow

  Chorus

  Eileen, my Eileen, the hour is serene hush now and drift where the chimes have been you are the calm between one breath and the next Eileen, sleep easy, there's nothing to dread

  Outro

  Somewhere that pendulum still swings behind the glass door and you are the peace that it's keeping time for

  Verse 1

  Green glass throws a circle of gold across your quiet floor and every little shadow has gone soft and still once more stacked up beside your pillow, the day's small stories wait you're wrapped in this warm hush that we've been drifting toward

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the hours grow slow and easy round you let the lamp burn low while the rain keeps time outside close your eyes, my darling, there's nothing left to find but

  Chorus

  Eileen, the light is holding you like something evergreen sleep is a soft field and you're the calmest thing I've seen between the dark and morning there's a hush that's clean rest here, Eileen, rest here, Eileen

  Verse 2

  Pages settle quiet now, their stories tucked away till dawn rain taps soft against the glass, a rhythm steady and drawn out you breathe in time with it, small and safe and warm nothing in this room tonight will ask you to be strong

  Bridge

  Let go of the day, it's already turning gold and small somewhere far the world keeps on, but here it doesn't call at all

  Chorus

  Eileen, the light is holding you like something evergreen sleep is a soft field and you're the calmest thing I've seen between the dark and morning there's a hush that's clean rest here, Eileen, rest here, Eileen

  Outro

  The lamp will keep its gold glow burning low till you wake sleep on, Eileen, there's nothing this soft night could ever take

  Verse 1

  Lace curtains breathe against the glass while you drift down to rest Moonlight walks in slow across the floor to find your face Nothing in this room will stir you, nothing dares intrude You are held here safe and quiet in this gentle place

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the hours grow soft and small around you Every shadow in this room has turned to kind and calm Close your eyes and let the night come gather you in close

  Chorus

  Eileen, the whole wide dark leans down to keep you warm Somewhere past the window, stars are folding into sleep Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will harm Eileen, you are the calm this quiet house will keep

  Verse 2

  Somewhere far beyond this glass the wind has settled too Everything that moves tonight moves slow because of you Even light has learned to fall so gently on this floor You could sleep for years and still be cradled safe and true

  Chorus

  Eileen, the whole wide dark leans down to keep you warm Somewhere past the window, stars are folding into sleep Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will harm Eileen, you are the calm this quiet house will keep

  Bridge

  Rest your small hands, let the night take over now You are loved so quietly, so deeply, so complete

  Chorus

  Eileen, the whole wide dark leans down to keep you warm Somewhere past the window, stars are folding into sleep Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will harm Eileen, you are the calm this quiet house will keep

  Outro

  Sleep now while the lace goes still against the pane You are held here always, long after the light has gone
