  Verse 1

  Yellow beams are glowing soft across the patterned little bed warm and low like honey pouring gently round your sleepy head every fold and every seam is catching up the fading light and you are held inside it, safe and quiet, through the night

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the hours grow slow and wide and deep the whole house is breathing with you, settling in for sleep and something soft is holding you, right down into your dreams

  Chorus

  Harri, Harri, the light is low and kind nothing in this room will ever leave you far behind you are carried gently, easy as can be Harri, you are held here, safe as safe can be

  Verse 2

  Outside the stars are starry, small and far and softly true but nothing out there shines as steady as the love for you the shadows on the ceiling only rock and drift and sway keeping watch beside you till the dark gives way to day

  Chorus

  Harri, Harri, the light is low and kind nothing in this room will ever leave you far behind you are carried gently, easy as can be Harri, you are held here, safe as safe can be

  Bridge

  Sleep now, let the quiet wrap around you like a song nothing you could dream of could ever lead you wrong

  Chorus

  Harri, Harri, the light is low and kind nothing in this room will ever leave you far behind you are carried gently, easy as can be Harri, you are held here, safe as safe can be

  Outro

  The yellow beams are fading now, soft as breath, so slow sleep tight, my dear, and know you're loved wherever dreams may go

• The Stair That Knows Your Name

  Folk cradle song · Folk · Dulcimer · Rocking

  A slow folk cradle song for settling a little one to sleep, built around the soft creak of the stairs and the safety waiting at the top of them. Sing it low and unhurried while the house goes quiet.

  Verse 1

  The floorboards creak so softly halfway up the stair Somebody's coming careful through the dark to find you there Every gentle footstep says how much you're loved and rare Nothing in this whole wide house will ever cause you care

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the quiet settle on your chest Hear the house breathe slow around you as you take your rest Warm and held and waiting for the softest kind of yes

  Chorus

  Harri, Harri, sleep is calling low and sweet Under blankets safe and heavy, dreaming at your feet Nobody could ever love you half as starry, Harri Rest here where the dark and quiet meet

  Verse 2

  The stairs are old and know your name from all the nights before Every worn and gentle hollow led me to your door Small and warm beneath the covers, that is all you're for tonight Just to breathe and drift and settle into starlight

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the quiet settle on your chest Hear the house breathe slow around you as you take your rest Warm and held and waiting for the softest kind of yes

  Chorus

  Harri, Harri, sleep is calling low and sweet Under blankets safe and heavy, dreaming at your feet Nobody could ever love you half as starry, Harri Rest here where the dark and quiet meet

  Bridge

  Somewhere past the ceiling the whole night is standing guard Nothing gets to reach you, nothing gets to feel too hard You are held by every creak and every careful sound

  Chorus

  Harri, Harri, sleep is calling low and sweet Under blankets safe and heavy, dreaming at your feet Nobody could ever love you half as starry, Harri Rest here where the dark and quiet meet

  Outro

  The stairs go quiet now, the whole house settling down to rest Sleep, my Harri, you are carried, you are always blessed

  Verse 1

  The streetlights flash orange across the window glass and you are curled so quiet against the seat Every light that passes lets the darkness pass and you are carried home safe and warm and sweet

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the road hum low the night is wrapping round you soft and slow and there is nowhere safer you could go

  Chorus

  Harri, Harri, hush now, drift away under all these starry, quiet skies Nothing here will hurt you, come what may Harri, sleep is calling, close your eyes

  Verse 2

  The world outside goes orange, then goes grey while you stay wrapped in blankets soft as air Nothing in the dark will make you tarry because you know that you are held with care

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the road hum low the night is wrapping round you soft and slow and there is nowhere safer you could go

  Chorus

  Harri, Harri, hush now, drift away under all these starry, quiet skies Nothing here will hurt you, come what may Harri, sleep is calling, close your eyes

  Bridge

  Somebody loves you more than words can carry more than any light along the way You are the softest thing this whole night holds

  Chorus

  Harri, Harri, hush now, drift away under all these starry, quiet skies Nothing here will hurt you, come what may Harri, sleep is calling, close your eyes

  Outro

  The lights outside grow fainter now and slow and you are carried gently home to sleep
