  Verse 1

  Somewhere in the corner a little hum is humming low Just a gentle whisper meant only to be kind You are wrapped in something softer than the quiet it lets go There is nowhere calmer for your little mind

  Chorus

  Jacob, hush now, let the hum carry you away Nothing wakes you, nothing calls you back tonight Every hush that holds you says it's fine to stay Jacob, close your eyes and drift into the light

  Verse 2

  Warm beneath the blanket while the house breathes soft and slow Every worry loosens like a knot let go You don't need to listen, you don't need to know All you need is stillness, and the hush will help you grow

  Pre-chorus

  Feel the hum grow softer as the evening settles in Let it hold the corners of the room you're dreaming in Nothing needs an answer, nothing needs to begin

  Chorus

  Jacob, hush now, let the hum carry you away Nothing wakes you, nothing calls you back tonight Every hush that holds you says it's fine to stay Jacob, close your eyes and drift into the light

  Bridge

  Rest inside the quiet that was always meant for you Sleep is just a softer kind of true

  Chorus

  Jacob, hush now, let the hum carry you away Nothing wakes you, nothing calls you back tonight Every hush that holds you says it's fine to stay Jacob, close your eyes and drift into the light

  Outro

  Somewhere in the corner that small hum will hum till morning You are held inside it, safe and warm and gone to sleep

  Verse 1

  Watch how the lamplight slides so slowly over the wool Drifting across your blanket, soft and gold and full Nothing can reach you here, nothing at all Little one, you are held, you are safe, you are full

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere a window glows and dims as the night walks past Your breathing settles low and easy, deep and vast Hush now, the dark is only resting at last

  Chorus

  Jacob, the light is moving gently, easing you to rest Nothing but calm tonight, nothing but the best Sleep comes soft as breath drawn slowly from the west Jacob, you are the warmest thing that this house has ever blessed

  Verse 2

  Somewhere outside a lamp is burning low and kind Casting its glow like a hand laid soft behind Curl a little deeper into all this quiet You are the calm this whole house was designed to find

  Bridge

  Let the shadows rock you the way the branches sway Every worry folds and drifts a little further away

  Chorus

  Jacob, the light is moving gently, easing you to rest Nothing but calm tonight, nothing but the best Sleep comes soft as breath drawn slowly from the west Jacob, you are the warmest thing that this house has ever blessed

  Outro

  The lamp keeps sliding slowly, soft along the wool Sleep now, little one, you are safe, you are full

  Verse 1

  Leaves are tapping soft against the hood above your head far off streetlamps flicker gently through the dark you are warm and you are held while all the world's in bed nothing here can touch you, nothing leaves its mark

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the tapping be the only sound you hear let the night come slow around you like a blanket pulled in near hush now, drift now, morning's waiting somewhere close and clear

  Chorus

  Jacob, sleep is calling soft and low tonight you are loved beyond the reach of waking every star has found its place to hold its light you are safe, and nothing here is shaken

  Verse 2

  The wind is small tonight, it barely moves the leaves at all you are curled up warm where nothing needs to stir every corner of this room is answering your call you are wanted here, of that I am so sure

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the tapping be the only sound you hear let the night come slow around you like a blanket pulled in near hush now, drift now, morning's waiting somewhere close and clear

  Chorus

  Jacob, sleep is calling soft and low tonight you are loved beyond the reach of waking every star has found its place to hold its light you are safe, and nothing here is shaken

  Bridge

  Rest here where the quiet keeps you, where the dark is only kind leave the day behind you gently, let it slowly fade from mind

  Chorus

  Jacob, sleep is calling soft and low tonight you are loved beyond the reach of waking every star has found its place to hold its light you are safe, and nothing here is shaken

  Outro

  The leaves have stilled against the hood, the lamps have dimmed their glow sleep now, Jacob, held and certain, safe in all I know
