  Verse 1

  Watch the last grey ash go sliding down behind the iron bars See it fall so soft and slow into the waiting dark You are heavier with sleep now than you are with all the day There is no place safer for you than right here where you are

  Pre-chorus

  The fire has said all it needed and it settles now to rest Your small breaths are already slower than they were before So let the quiet carry you a little further in

  Chorus

  Ezra, the night is closing gently like a hand around a flame Nobody is going anywhere, nothing here will change Sleep and let the dark be kind to you the way it always does Ezra, you were loved before you ever learned your name

  Verse 2

  The room breathes slow around you like an old and patient friend Shadows on the ceiling only rock you, never stay Somewhere past the window all the stars are keeping watch tonight Close your eyes and let them do their quiet work till day

  Pre-chorus

  The fire has said all it needed and it settles now to rest Your small breaths are already slower than they were before So let the quiet carry you a little further in

  Chorus

  Ezra, the night is closing gently like a hand around a flame Nobody is going anywhere, nothing here will change Sleep and let the dark be kind to you the way it always does Ezra, you were loved before you ever learned your name

  Bridge

  Even the embers dim to hold their warmth a little longer So will this love stay banked and glowing after you have gone to sleep

  Chorus

  Ezra, the night is closing gently like a hand around a flame Nobody is going anywhere, nothing here will change Sleep and let the dark be kind to you the way it always does Ezra, you were loved before you ever learned your name

  Outro

  The grate has gone quiet now, the last of the ash settled soft and still Sleep on, you are held here, you always will

  Verse 1

  Pine needles fall so softly on the hood above your head Every hush of evening settles you instead into your bed The dark outside is gentle, it will never do you harm You are held here closer than the softest arm

  Pre-chorus

  The needles drift and settle, they are tucking you in tight Nothing in this wide world means you any harm tonight Close your eyes now, let me carry you toward the light

  Chorus

  Ezra, Ezra, sleep is calling soft and low Wrapped in warmth while all the winds forget to blow Nothing in this whole night ever needs to trouble you Ezra, you are held in everything I do

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window branches sway and let their needles go Falling slow as breathing, falling gentle, falling low You are safer than the softest thing that ever came to rest Wrapped in warmth and quiet, held against what's best

  Chorus

  Ezra, Ezra, sleep is calling soft and low Wrapped in warmth while all the winds forget to blow Nothing in this whole night ever needs to trouble you Ezra, you are held in everything I do

  Bridge

  Let the hours turn to feathers, let the dark turn to a friend Every small sound in the night is bending toward your rest Nothing asks you to be anything but calm and warm and blessed

  Chorus

  Ezra, Ezra, sleep is calling soft and low Wrapped in warmth while all the winds forget to blow Nothing in this whole night ever needs to trouble you Ezra, you are held in everything I do

  Outro

  The pine needles are falling slow and settling soft on you Sleep now, you are held here till the morning comes through

• Yellow Light in the Hall

  Soft piano · Piano · Soft · Sleepy

  A slow, soft piano lullaby for winding down a late night, following a thin line of light down the hallway to the stillness of a child asleep.

  Verse 1

  Yellow light is stretching soft across the hallway floor tonight Past midnight it still lingers on, so gentle and so slight I follow it to find you curled beneath your blanket deep And nothing in this house feels half as quiet or as right

  Pre-chorus

  The house breathes slow around you, every corner soft and still Somewhere past the window, the whole world is holding on And I could stay right here and watch you dreaming for a while

  Chorus

  Ezra, close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you away Nothing in the dark tonight will ever lead you far astray There's a warmth here just for you, it never once will fade Rest now, Ezra, till you find the morning and the day

  Verse 2

  Somewhere down the hallway, all the lights are going low And every little sound has learned to move so soft and slow You are held here safer than the moon is in the sky And nothing needs to hurry, nowhere in the world to go

  Bridge

  Sleep is just a river and I'll keep you near the shore Whatever you are dreaming, you don't need to reach for more

  Chorus

  Ezra, close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you away Nothing in the dark tonight will ever lead you far astray There's a warmth here just for you, it never once will fade Rest now, Ezra, till you find the morning and the day

  Outro

  The light along the floorboards will be waiting when you wake Sleep now, and know you're held here for your own dear sake
