  Verse 1

  Yellow light is sliding soft across the rainy glass tonight Rocking gently while you settle into calm and golden light Every sound outside goes quiet, fading far away from here Nothing in the whole wide world can reach you, sleeping near

  Chorus

  Eilidh, close your eyes now, let the night be kind and slow Hush is falling gently, softer than the softest snow Nothing in this quiet world could ever cause you harm Eilidh, you are held here, safe and warm within my arm

  Verse 2

  Wet windows hold the glow of every lamp we pass tonight Softly does the leather seat rock with the dimming light You are wrapped in warmth that no cold wind can ever find Drifting now toward sleep with all the day left behind

  Pre-chorus

  Feel how slow the whole wide world has learned to breathe with you Nothing hurries now, no reason left to think it through Only rest is waiting, calling softly, calling true

  Chorus

  Eilidh, close your eyes now, let the night be kind and slow Hush is falling gently, softer than the softest snow Nothing in this quiet world could ever cause you harm Eilidh, you are held here, safe and warm within my arm

  Bridge

  Every light that passes by is watching over you Guiding you to somewhere calm and gentle, soft and true

  Chorus

  Eilidh, close your eyes now, let the night be kind and slow Hush is falling gently, softer than the softest snow Nothing in this quiet world could ever cause you harm Eilidh, you are held here, safe and warm within my arm

  Outro

  Somewhere the yellow light still glows on windows wet with rain Rest now, Eilidh, safe and warm, until the light again

  Verse 1

  Somewhere a heavy ring is turning soft and slow tonight and the glass hums low above the far dark water's light you are warm here, safe here, curled beneath the quiet while the world turns gently on without a single fright

  Chorus

  Eilidh, the light comes round again to find you softly as a hand that reaches out to bind you sleep now while the turning ring goes gamely on and on nothing in the dark tonight will ever unwind you

  Verse 2

  Somewhere the iron turns so slow it barely seems to move and the lens breathes out its hum like something you could prove you are held here, kept here, wrapped in something steady while the night rolls round you gently, patient as a groove

  Pre-chorus

  Hear how the hum stays low and never hurries through the dark hear how the light keeps turning, patient, marking out its arc that is how you're loved tonight, slow and sure and starting

  Chorus

  Eilidh, the light comes round again to find you softly as a hand that reaches out to bind you sleep now while the turning ring goes gamely on and on nothing in the dark tonight will ever unwind you

  Bridge

  Let the turning be the only sound you need to know let it carry you where warm and quiet always go

  Chorus

  Eilidh, the light comes round again to find you softly as a hand that reaches out to bind you sleep now while the turning ring goes gamely on and on nothing in the dark tonight will ever unwind you

  Outro

  Somewhere still that heavy ring keeps turning through the night and you are safe here, always, wrapped in that slow light

  Verse 1

  Soft goes the click as the buckle finds its home Warm little hands curled and quiet in the glow You are held tight while the engine hums so low Nothing can reach you, nowhere else to go

  Pre-chorus

  Every road tonight is leading straight to rest Close up your eyes now, let the dark be kind Sleep is the softest place that you will find

  Chorus

  Eilidh, the night is holding you so near Rock with the hum of engines soft and slow Nothing will touch you, nothing you should fear Eilidh, it's only sleep you're drifting to

  Verse 2

  Streetlights slip by like lanterns strung for you alone Hushed is the world beyond the window's frost You are the warmest thing that I have known Drift now, my dear, no minute here is lost

  Bridge

  Hold to the hum, let it carry you down Deeper than dreaming, softer than sound

  Chorus

  Eilidh, the night is holding you so near Rock with the hum of engines soft and slow Nothing will touch you, nothing you should fear Eilidh, it's only sleep you're drifting to

  Outro

  Click goes the buckle, safe as a heart at rest Sleep now, my love, held gently and blessed
