  Verse 1

  A woollen blanket rests along the edge of the little boat While the water underneath you barely moves at all tonight You are wrapped up warm and steady while the whole wide world stays afloat Nothing here can reach you now, you're held so soft and tight

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and feel the gentle rocking of the tide Every star above is watching over where you lie Let the quiet carry you to somewhere warm inside

  Chorus

  Geoffrey, the water is still and it's holding you slow Nothing will wake you, no current, no breeze Deep in the calm where the soft lanterns glow Geoffrey, you're safe here, so drift if you please

  Verse 2

  The blanket smells of evening and of somewhere kind and near Every thread of it was chosen just to keep you warm You don't have to open your eyes or even hear You're already further than the reach of any storm

  Bridge

  Let the small boat carry all your worries out of sight Nothing follows you to where you're going, only light

  Chorus

  Geoffrey, the water is still and it's holding you slow Nothing will wake you, no current, no breeze Deep in the calm where the soft lanterns glow Geoffrey, you're safe here, so drift if you please

  Outro

  The blanket stays warm on the edge of the boat till morning Sleep now, Geoffrey, the water is holding you gently

  Verse 1

  Old boards under the runners hum a soft and sleepy tune Wrapped up warm against the hush of every settling sound Your breathing slows to match the sway beneath the rising moon Nothing waits out there tonight that isn't safe and sound

  Pre-chorus

  Every creak below us sings a quiet lullaby Close your eyes and let the dark feel gentle, not unkind Sleep is only drifting now, no need to wonder why

  Chorus

  Geoffrey, hush now, let the night hold you the way I do Nothing out there matters more than this small rocking room Sleep will come the way it always finds its way to you Geoffrey, close your eyes, I'll watch you drifting into dreams

  Verse 2

  Sheepskin soft beneath you keeps the midnight chill away Somewhere past the window stars are keeping watch for you Rocking slower now until your worries fade to grey Held here safe and steady, there is nothing you must do

  Chorus

  Geoffrey, hush now, let the night hold you the way I do Nothing out there matters more than this small rocking room Sleep will come the way it always finds its way to you Geoffrey, close your eyes, I'll watch you drifting into dreams

  Bridge

  Let the chair keep singing while your small hands finally rest No one else could ever be so dearly, deeply loved

  Chorus

  Geoffrey, hush now, let the night hold you the way I do Nothing out there matters more than this small rocking room Sleep will come the way it always finds its way to you Geoffrey, close your eyes, I'll watch you drifting into dreams

  Outro

  Somewhere the floor keeps rocking gently on without a sound You are held here always, long after the chair goes still

  Verse 1

  The last of the fire is breathing so slow in the grate and everything round you can wait until day, it can wait the warmth in the ash is enough for the room and for you so let your two hands and your worries go still and go loose

  Pre-chorus

  The house has gone soft with the hush of the coals dying down every small sound in the dark has grown gentle and round and sleep is the tide pulling slow at the edge of the town

  Chorus

  Geoffrey, the night has you safe in its arms nothing can reach you, no cold and no harm you are the warmest thing here in this room held while the ash breathes its slow, easy plume

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a chimney lets one thread of smoke find the sky while you are already halfway to dreaming, so heavy your eye nobody needs you to wake, love, or answer, or move there is only this quiet, and you, and the low steady groove

  Pre-chorus

  The house has gone soft with the hush of the coals dying down every small sound in the dark has grown gentle and round and sleep is the tide pulling slow at the edge of the town

  Chorus

  Geoffrey, the night has you safe in its arms nothing can reach you, no cold and no harm you are the warmest thing here in this room held while the ash breathes its slow, easy plume

  Bridge

  Whatever the day asked of you, it is finished and done rest now the way embers rest once they've given their sun

  Chorus

  Geoffrey, the night has you safe in its arms nothing can reach you, no cold and no harm you are the warmest thing here in this room held while the ash breathes its slow, easy plume

  Outro

  The grate holds its warmth long after the flames have gone still and you are held gently, and safely, and will be until
