  Verse 1

  Little bubbles rise up slow and settle on your skin Warm water holds you soft and lets the whole day sink away You watch them pop so quietly, one by one they thin There is nowhere you need hurry to, no reason left to stray

  Chorus

  Gerald, Gerald, close your eyes, the water knows your name Every ripple round you sings the softest kind of song You are held here, Gerald, safe from anything like blame Rest inside this quiet now, it's where you still belong

  Verse 2

  Steam is curling upward past the window's cooling glass Nothing in this room will hurry, nothing needs to race You could stay here floating gently till the moment passed Wrapped in warmth that fits you like a slow and steady place

  Pre-chorus

  Hear the tap breathe softer now, its dripping start to fade Feel your whole body sinking deeper into where it's laid Sleep is coming closer, gentle, like a quiet trade

  Chorus

  Gerald, Gerald, close your eyes, the water knows your name Every ripple round you sings the softest kind of song You are held here, Gerald, safe from anything like blame Rest inside this quiet now, it's where you still belong

  Bridge

  Towels are waiting warm to wrap around you tight Someone's here to carry you the short way into night

  Chorus

  Gerald, Gerald, close your eyes, the water knows your name Every ripple round you sings the softest kind of song You are held here, Gerald, safe from anything like blame Rest inside this quiet now, it's where you still belong

  Outro

  Bubbles fade to nothing but the warmth is staying near Sleep now, Gerald, you are loved, and morning won't come near

  Verse 1

  Softly the pram rolls on beneath the old and quiet trees Shadows and light are playing gently on your wool blanket Somewhere above, a small bird settles too Nothing tonight can reach you, nothing troubles your ease

  Chorus

  Gerald, the dark is only leaves and quiet falling slow Sleep finds you soft as shade that moves without a sound Close now your eyes, let every worry go Gerald, you're held here safely, wrapped in all we know

  Verse 2

  Wheels hum a tune too low for waking ears to catch Light through the branches folds and settles on your face Every breath you take is calm and slow You drift where warmth and stillness meet in one small place

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the evening leans in closer, soft and low Even the wind has learned to move so gently by So let the quiet carry you along

  Chorus

  Gerald, the dark is only leaves and quiet falling slow Sleep finds you soft as shade that moves without a sound Close now your eyes, let every worry go Gerald, you're held here safely, wrapped in all we know

  Bridge

  No harm can find you here beneath the sheltering green Rest is a hand that holds you gently through the night

  Chorus

  Gerald, the dark is only leaves and quiet falling slow Sleep finds you soft as shade that moves without a sound Close now your eyes, let every worry go Gerald, you're held here safely, wrapped in all we know

  Outro

  Still the leaves keep turning shadows soft across your blanket Sleep now, Gerald, safe beneath the quiet trees

  Verse 1

  A curtain lifts and settles by the window near your bed Soft as breathing, soft as everything that's left unsaid You are curled up warm beneath the blankets, safe and still Nothing in this room tonight can touch you or can chill

  Pre-chorus

  Outside the air is moving but it never comes too close The dark is only resting, not a shadow, not a ghost So let your eyes grow heavy as the quiet starts to grow

  Chorus

  Gerald, the night is holding you the way it holds a star Soft as an emerald glowing wherever you are Nothing can find you, nothing can pull you from this rest Gerald, you are the sweetest thing that this house has ever blessed

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a breeze is drifting through the little gap of light Carrying no worry, only stillness through the night You don't need to listen, you don't need to understand Only rest your head and know that you are safely planned

  Pre-chorus

  Outside the air is moving but it never comes too close The dark is only resting, not a shadow, not a ghost So let your eyes grow heavy as the quiet starts to grow

  Chorus

  Gerald, the night is holding you the way it holds a star Soft as an emerald glowing wherever you are Nothing can find you, nothing can pull you from this rest Gerald, you are the sweetest thing that this house has ever blessed

  Bridge

  Sleep now, and let the small world turn without you for a while Wrapped in a hush that only knows to keep you and beguile

  Chorus

  Gerald, the night is holding you the way it holds a star Soft as an emerald glowing wherever you are Nothing can find you, nothing can pull you from this rest Gerald, you are the sweetest thing that this house has ever blessed

  Outro

  The curtain settles softly now, its gentle drifting done Sleep well, dear Gerald, you are loved by everyone
