  Verse 1

  The little boat has finished all its slow and rocking roaming Rest the oar across the seats and let the water still You are the calm that settles in when all the waves are homing Sleep is a harbour waiting just beyond the hill

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the current carry you so lightly Nothing here will call you back before the morning gleams Hold this quiet like a gift I wrap for you so tightly

  Chorus

  Jeremy, the night has come to hold you like a memory Soft and warm and closer than the tide is to the shore You are safe as any harbour, sweet as any remedy Jeremy, there's nothing waiting but a little more

  Verse 2

  The lanterns on the water dim to just a gentle glowing Every ripple settles down to nothing but a sigh You don't need to keep the little boat from slowly going Let it drift you softly where the quiet stars all lie

  Bridge

  No storm can find you here beneath this heavy, warm blanket Every worry sinks before it ever reaches you Rest is just a river and you're already sailing through it

  Chorus

  Jeremy, the night has come to hold you like a memory Soft and warm and closer than the tide is to the shore You are safe as any harbour, sweet as any remedy Jeremy, there's nothing waiting but a little more

  Outro

  Somewhere still the oar is resting quiet across its seat Sleep now, little sailor, and let the water be so sweet

  Verse 1

  The wool blanket waits folded soft on the old grey chair warming slowly by the glow with a quiet kind of care and I think of how you curl so small beneath the light how the whole wide house grows gentle just to hold you right

  Pre-chorus

  The radiator hums a tune so low and slow letting all the heat sink deep before we go and the dark outside can wait, it is not time yet

  Chorus

  Jeremy, the warmth is folded here for you tonight every worry set aside, every corner soft and right Jeremy, you are the reason this whole room feels safe rest inside the calm that no one else could ever chase

  Verse 2

  I will tuck the wool around your shoulders nice and slow watch your breathing settle into something sweet and low and the lamp will keep its little steady golden glow just to let you know that you are loved wherever you go

  Chorus

  Jeremy, the warmth is folded here for you tonight every worry set aside, every corner soft and right Jeremy, you are the reason this whole room feels safe rest inside the calm that no one else could ever chase

  Bridge

  Nothing here will ask you to be anything but still let the hush of evening settle where it will

  Chorus

  Jeremy, the warmth is folded here for you tonight every worry set aside, every corner soft and right Jeremy, you are the reason this whole room feels safe rest inside the calm that no one else could ever chase

  Outro

  The chair will hold its warmth long after the lamp turns low and you will carry all that warmth wherever dreams may go

  Verse 1

  Somewhere a small green light is humming low and warm Keeping its steady watch through the middle of the storm Nothing can find you here beneath the quilted dark You are held so gently, safe from every harm

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the house is breathing soft and slow around you Sleep is a river and it's carrying you through Close your eyes and let it carry you to

  Chorus

  Jeremy, the dial glows a tiny shade of green Dreaming through the quiet of the softest in between Nothing in this whole wide night could ever trouble thee Jeremy, you're held by more than you have seen

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a low voice hums along an old, worn tune Drifting through the static like a slow, silver moon Every worry folds itself and settles into rest You are cradled softly, you'll be sleeping soon

  Chorus

  Jeremy, the dial glows a tiny shade of green Dreaming through the quiet of the softest in between Nothing in this whole wide night could ever trouble thee Jeremy, you're held by more than you have seen

  Bridge

  Let the small light lead you gently out to sea Nothing waits for you but calm and quiet company

  Chorus

  Jeremy, the dial glows a tiny shade of green Dreaming through the quiet of the softest in between Nothing in this whole wide night could ever trouble thee Jeremy, you're held by more than you have seen

  Outro

  Sleep now, while the small green light keeps burning low You are safe and loved, wherever dreams may go
