  Verse 1

  A white mug breathes its slow steam onto the sill tonight Time hums along the wall in a soft and steady light Nothing here needs to hurry, nothing needs to rush You settle deeper into the quiet, out of sight

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the kettle's gone quiet, the window's turned to grey Every small sound in the house is drifting far away Close your eyes, my love, and let the evening have its say

  Chorus

  Jac, the whole wide dark is holding you so gently now Warm cups and soft light are keeping every worry down Sleep is a road that only you can find and track Nothing in this house will ever let you down, Jac

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the curtain, the porcelain begins to cool A minute folds itself away, unhurried and full You breathe like the house breathes, slow and easy on the beat Even shadows here are gentle, soft as wool

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the kettle's gone quiet, the window's turned to grey Every small sound in the house is drifting far away Close your eyes, my love, and let the evening have its say

  Chorus

  Jac, the whole wide dark is holding you so gently now Warm cups and soft light are keeping every worry down Sleep is a road that only you can find and track Nothing in this house will ever let you down, Jac

  Bridge

  Let the tick of the clock become the sound of home Let the steam rise slow and carry you where dreams have grown

  Chorus

  Jac, the whole wide dark is holding you so gently now Warm cups and soft light are keeping every worry down Sleep is a road that only you can find and track Nothing in this house will ever let you down, Jac

  Outro

  The mug sits cooling quiet now, its steam gone soft and thin Sleep well, my Jac, the whole warm house is tucked you in

  Verse 1

  A small green light is humming low beside your bed tonight Soft static hushes gently, whispering that all is right Close your eyes now, little one, and drift on quiet sound Sleep is folding round you soft, the safest place around

  Pre-chorus

  Every hush that fills this room was made to keep you still Nothing in the dark tonight will climb this quiet hill So let your breathing settle now and lean into the calm

  Chorus

  Jac, my Jac, the static hums a song just for your ear Sleep is close and gathering, there's nothing left to fear Jac, you're held by warmth and light no shadow can attack Rest here where it's soft and safe, my steady little Jac

  Verse 2

  Watch the green glow flicker slow, a lantern keeping time Nothing hurries in this room, no reason left to climb Blankets pull up to your chin, the whole wide world can wait Sleep will carry you along, so gentle and so great

  Bridge

  Hush now, let the static hold you steady through the night Nothing needs to happen but this warmth and dimming light

  Chorus

  Jac, my Jac, the static hums a song just for your ear Sleep is close and gathering, there's nothing left to fear Jac, you're held by warmth and light no shadow can attack Rest here where it's soft and safe, my steady little Jac

  Outro

  The little green light dims to rest, its work for now is done Sleep well, dear Jac, beneath its glow till morning's soft begun

  Verse 1

  Far down the shore the water breathes so slow and low tonight Sliding pale and soft across the stones without a sound Everything out there is settling into quiet white And here inside these walls, my Jac, your peace is what I've found

  Chorus

  Jac, my love, the whole wide dark is holding you so gently Rest now, Jac, there's nothing here that means you any harm Close your eyes, the night has come to keep you always with me Jac, you're warm, you're safe, you're wrapped in every kind of calm

  Verse 2

  The foam comes in so easy, and it never makes a fuss Sliding over pebbles worn by years and years of tide It doesn't need to hurry, it just goes where it must And you can rest the same way, with your softness at your side

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere far off the water's pulling back to gather more Slow as a breath held gently in the dark And all that quiet's coming closer to your door

  Chorus

  Jac, my love, the whole wide dark is holding you so gently Rest now, Jac, there's nothing here that means you any harm Close your eyes, the night has come to keep you always with me Jac, you're warm, you're safe, you're wrapped in every kind of calm

  Bridge

  No wave has ever rushed to wake a sleeping shore You are held as softly as the tide holds every stone

  Chorus

  Jac, my love, the whole wide dark is holding you so gently Rest now, Jac, there's nothing here that means you any harm Close your eyes, the night has come to keep you always with me Jac, you're warm, you're safe, you're wrapped in every kind of calm

  Outro

  Far down the shore the water settles soft and slow Sleep now, Jac, and let the quiet carry where you go
