  Verse 1

  The pale cotton drifts inward across the open sill tonight Carrying the hush of the garden into this quiet room You are wrapped in something softer than the fading light Nothing in the dark tonight will find its way to you

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the curtain breathe for you Every soft thing in this house is turning slow Holding on to you until the morning comes through

  Chorus

  Jacqueline, the night has come to keep you safe and warm Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will make you flee You are held here gently through the smallest hour till dawn Jacqueline, my Jacqueline, there's nowhere else I'd rather be

  Verse 2

  The window lets the cool air wander slowly round your bed Somewhere far away the evening settles on the trees You are the calmest thing this quiet house has ever held Sleep now and let go of everything but ease

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the curtain breathe for you Every soft thing in this house is turning slow Holding on to you until the morning comes through

  Chorus

  Jacqueline, the night has come to keep you safe and warm Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will make you flee You are held here gently through the smallest hour till dawn Jacqueline, my Jacqueline, there's nowhere else I'd rather be

  Bridge

  However far the dark unfolds beyond this little room You are the one thing in it I would always keep Steady as the tide is pulled and loosened by the moon

  Chorus

  Jacqueline, the night has come to keep you safe and warm Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will make you flee You are held here gently through the smallest hour till dawn Jacqueline, my Jacqueline, there's nowhere else I'd rather be

  Outro

  The cotton settles quiet now against the darkened frame And you are safe and sleeping, always carrying your name

• Between the Light and Sleep

  Glockenspiel · Twinkling · Simple

  A slow, glockenspiel lullaby for winding down at bedtime, watching dust drift gold in a stripe of evening light while somebody very small is carried gently toward sleep.

  Verse 1

  Little flecks of gold are rising through the window's narrow beam You are watching them go up like tiny slow balloons unseen Everything is quiet now, the softest hush I've ever seen Rest your head and let the day dissolve to something calm and clean

  Pre-chorus

  The light is getting thinner as it leans across the floor Hold my hand a little longer, you don't need to ask for more Close your eyes and drift with me to somewhere warm and sure

  Chorus

  Jacqueline, my Jacqueline, the calmest name I've seen Sleep is coming soft and slow to carry you between You are held here, you are safe here, gentle and serene Nothing in this whole wide world could touch my Jacqueline

  Verse 2

  The dust keeps floating upward like it's climbing towards a dream You don't have to chase the light, just let it drift downstream Somewhere past the ceiling there's a hush that's calm and clean Sink into the pillow now, the softest in between

  Chorus

  Jacqueline, my Jacqueline, the calmest name I've seen Sleep is coming soft and slow to carry you between You are held here, you are safe here, gentle and serene Nothing in this whole wide world could touch my Jacqueline

  Bridge

  Stay a while inside this golden hush with me Let the whole night settle soft and slow and free

  Chorus

  Jacqueline, my Jacqueline, the calmest name I've seen Sleep is coming soft and slow to carry you between You are held here, you are safe here, gentle and serene Nothing in this whole wide world could touch my Jacqueline

  Outro

  The light has gone to amber and the dust has settled down You are sleeping soundly now, the calmest in the town

  Verse 1

  The lamp burns low and gold beside the woollen blanket near your head It catches every rough soft fibre like a field of evening wheat instead Close your eyes now, let the hours grow slow I will stay until the dark and light have properly been between

  Pre-chorus

  The house is quiet, every corner settling down to rest Your breathing slows to match the hush that's gathering in your chest Somewhere soft, the night is leaning in to hold you close

  Chorus

  Jacqueline, the dark is only softness dressed in evening's calm routine Nothing here will ever touch you, nothing sharp or unforeseen You are held the way the wool holds warmth against the amber sheen Sleep now, Jacqueline, and drift where everything is serene

  Verse 2

  Somewhere far the wind is humming quiet songs it's always known Wrapped in wool you're safer than a seed that's only just been sown Let your small hands loosen, let them rest Morning waits behind the dark, patient, calm and evergreen

  Chorus

  Jacqueline, the dark is only softness dressed in evening's calm routine Nothing here will ever touch you, nothing sharp or unforeseen You are held the way the wool holds warmth against the amber sheen Sleep now, Jacqueline, and drift where everything is serene

  Bridge

  Every thread around you was woven soft to keep you warm Nothing in this quiet house was ever built to bring you harm Rest inside the glow that never leaves your side

  Chorus

  Jacqueline, the dark is only softness dressed in evening's calm routine Nothing here will ever touch you, nothing sharp or unforeseen You are held the way the wool holds warmth against the amber sheen Sleep now, Jacqueline, and drift where everything is serene

  Outro

  The lamp will keep its low and steady glow till morning comes again Sleep now, Jacqueline, held safe and warm and wrapped in wool till then
