  Verse 1

  The old chair holds its blanket like it's holding you instead Soft wool has curled around the arms that cradle your small head No need to fight the quiet, it was always on your side You're wrapped inside a warmth that this whole house has learned to hide

  Pre-chorus

  Every corner of this room is turning low and slow The lamp has dimmed its eye to watch you settle down below Close now, let the dark come soft, there's somewhere you should go

  Chorus

  Georgia, sleep is calling gently, let it carry you tonight Nothing here can touch you, you are held and you are right Rest inside the hush that loves you more than words can say Georgia, you are safe here, let the whole world drift away

  Verse 2

  Wooden arms don't ask for anything, they only learn to bend They shaped themselves around your shape until the two could blend Somewhere past the window night is folding into deeper blue And every fold of it was only ever meant for you

  Pre-chorus

  Every corner of this room is turning low and slow The lamp has dimmed its eye to watch you settle down below Close now, let the dark come soft, there's somewhere you should go

  Chorus

  Georgia, sleep is calling gently, let it carry you tonight Nothing here can touch you, you are held and you are right Rest inside the hush that loves you more than words can say Georgia, you are safe here, let the whole world drift away

  Bridge

  Hush now, little breath, the dark is only kindness dressed in grey Nobody needs you awake for one more minute of today

  Chorus

  Georgia, sleep is calling gently, let it carry you tonight Nothing here can touch you, you are held and you are right Rest inside the hush that loves you more than words can say Georgia, you are safe here, let the whole world drift away

  Outro

  The blanket stays exactly where those wooden arms have laid it down You stay exactly where you're loved, however far you've gone

  Verse 1

  The amber light is pooling soft on the top step tonight Spilling low and warm across the floor where you lie It waits there gentle just to see you drifting into rest Golden as a hush before a lullaby

  Chorus

  Georgia, close your eyes now, let the quiet come and stay Nothing in this house will ever leave you unattended You are held so closely, safe till morning finds its way Georgia, you are loved beyond what could be intended

  Verse 2

  Every shadow in this room has curled up soft and small Wrapped around the corners like a blanket laid with care Nothing here will wake or stir or reach to trouble you at all Just the amber glow still settled on the stair

  Pre-chorus

  Listen how the whole house breathes in one long steady tide Every board and beam is holding still to keep you warm So let the hush come closer now and settle deep inside

  Chorus

  Georgia, close your eyes now, let the quiet come and stay Nothing in this house will ever leave you unattended You are held so closely, safe till morning finds its way Georgia, you are loved beyond what could be intended

  Bridge

  Somewhere past the window all the stars keep their own time Somewhere in this quiet you are already home

  Chorus

  Georgia, close your eyes now, let the quiet come and stay Nothing in this house will ever leave you unattended You are held so closely, safe till morning finds its way Georgia, you are loved beyond what could be intended

  Outro

  The amber light will still be there when morning comes to call Watching gently over you who matters most of all

  Verse 1

  A white beam slips through the cotton walls of our tent tonight Soft as a hand laid gentle on the edge of the dark It finds the corner where you're curled up small and warm and light And rests there quiet like it came to leave its little mark

  Chorus

  Georgia, sleep now, the whole wide night is holding you still You are the warmest thing that this quiet house has known Nothing can reach you, not the wind nor the far off hill Georgia, you are held closer than you have ever known

  Verse 2

  The lamp turns low and the shadows learn to lie down too Every small sound outside goes soft and settles into rest Somewhere a door clicks shut and keeps the cold away from you Here in this warmth you are the safest and the best

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the beam is fading slow along the tent's white side Your breathing slows to match the turning of the far off tide And sleep comes closer, gentle, waiting just to step inside

  Chorus

  Georgia, sleep now, the whole wide night is holding you still You are the warmest thing that this quiet house has known Nothing can reach you, not the wind nor the far off hill Georgia, you are held closer than you have ever known

  Bridge

  Let the dark be only softness, only cotton, only calm Nothing in this night was ever meant to bring you harm

  Chorus

  Georgia, sleep now, the whole wide night is holding you still You are the warmest thing that this quiet house has known Nothing can reach you, not the wind nor the far off hill Georgia, you are held closer than you have ever known

  Outro

  The white beam dims to nothing on the wall where it once lay Sleep now, Georgia, safe till morning finds its way
