  Verse 1

  There is a line of light that rests along the floorboards waiting there so gently while the whole house grows quiet nothing has to hurry now, nothing has to wake Isaac, it will still be there when morning comes to find you

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the small light hold its place feel how soft and slow the dark can be around you this is where the day lies down and lets you

  Chorus

  Isaac, sleep is closer than it seems tonight hush now, let the quiet learn to hold you right nothing in this room will ever leave you scared Isaac, you are safe inside this warm and gentle light

  Verse 2

  The rug lies flat and even underneath the shadow stretched out calm and patient like it means to guard you every little sound outside has settled down to rest you are wrapped in something steadier than any storm could shake

  Bridge

  Whatever waits beyond the door can wait till it is morning nothing needs your worry, only needs your slow deep breathing

  Chorus

  Isaac, sleep is closer than it seems tonight hush now, let the quiet learn to hold you right nothing in this room will ever leave you scared Isaac, you are safe inside this warm and gentle light

  The light beneath the door will keep its watch till morning so rest now, Isaac, in the calm it leaves behind

  Verse 1

  I coil the rope and lay it soft at the bottom of the boat No need to sail tonight, no need to search or float Everything that moved today can finally lie down slow You are the reason all this quiet wants to grow

  Pre-chorus

  The water settles flat and holds the little light it keeps Nothing pulls, nothing tugs, the whole night barely creeps Close your eyes now, let the hush come find you where you sleep

  Chorus

  Isaac, the harbour holds you safe and low Nothing here will pull you where you don't want to go Isaac, sleep is just the gentlest tide Rest here, coiled and warm, with the whole night on your side

  Verse 2

  You breathe the way the rope lies, loose and unafraid to rest No knot to tie tonight, no far shore to test I'll keep watch so nothing tugs the line while you dream on You can let the whole wide dark be calm until it's gone

  Chorus

  Isaac, the harbour holds you safe and low Nothing here will pull you where you don't want to go Isaac, sleep is just the gentlest tide Rest here, coiled and warm, with the whole night on your side

  Bridge

  Somewhere past the window the whole dark bay is still No current strong enough to move you if it will You are held the way the rope is held, not lost, just laid to rest

  Chorus

  Isaac, the harbour holds you safe and low Nothing here will pull you where you don't want to go Isaac, sleep is just the gentlest tide Rest here, coiled and warm, with the whole night on your side

  Outro

  The rope stays coiled and still until the morning finds the shore You are loved exactly this much, and always a little more

  Verse 1

  Somewhere the water is folding on stones in the dark white foam turning over so quietly on the shore and here in this room every shadow is soft as a spark you are held and you are wanted, you don't need anymore

  Chorus

  Isaac, the night is a blanket pulled soft round your bed Isaac, there's nothing that's chasing the warmth from this place rest now, let all of the noise of the day go instead sleep now, and know you are held by the world's gentlest grace

  Verse 2

  Far off a cliff stands so still while the tide rolls below watching the same quiet water that's watching over you nothing tonight has to hurry, and nothing must go you are the calm at the centre of all that is true

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the whole house is breathing in time with your chest let every worry dissolve like the foam on the sand close your eyes slowly and drift into somewhere you're blessed

  Chorus

  Isaac, the night is a blanket pulled soft round your bed Isaac, there's nothing that's chasing the warmth from this place rest now, let all of the noise of the day go instead sleep now, and know you are held by the world's gentlest grace

  Bridge

  Wave after wave keeps returning to shore just to prove nothing that's loved is forgotten however it moves

  Chorus

  Isaac, the night is a blanket pulled soft round your bed Isaac, there's nothing that's chasing the warmth from this place rest now, let all of the noise of the day go instead sleep now, and know you are held by the world's gentlest grace

  Outro

  Somewhere the water still folds itself soft on the stones sleep now, you're carried the whole quiet night, never alone
