  Verse 1

  Soft as a whisper, an owl calls out beyond the glass Feathers of shadow drift over the blind and slowly pass Close your small hand now and let the whole wide night begin Nothing can follow you into this room where you are safe within

  Chorus

  Joanne, Joanne, the dark is only kind tonight Somebody's holding you close and warm beneath this light Joanne, you are the calmest place that this house has ever known Sleep now, and know you are never, ever here alone

  Verse 2

  Wings pass over the window slow as a lullaby hummed low Nothing out there can reach you, nothing at all, you know Rest your head where the pillow holds you soft and understands Morning will come up gently, carried in patient hands

  Pre-chorus

  Hear how the calling settles, quiet as breath drawn in Watch how the shifting shadow folds itself thin as skin Let every worry loosen, let the whole day begin to land

  Chorus

  Joanne, Joanne, the dark is only kind tonight Somebody's holding you close and warm beneath this light Joanne, you are the calmest place that this house has ever known Sleep now, and know you are never, ever here alone

  Bridge

  Somewhere an owl keeps watch above the sleeping land Nothing will ask of you more than resting where you stand

  Chorus

  Joanne, Joanne, the dark is only kind tonight Somebody's holding you close and warm beneath this light Joanne, you are the calmest place that this house has ever known Sleep now, and know you are never, ever here alone

  Outro

  Feathers still move across the blind, soft and slow as a sigh Sleep now, Joanne, safe beneath a calm and watching sky

  Verse 1

  Somewhere past the garden the water is falling soft and low It carries through the dark like a hush only you can hear You are wrapped up warm while the whole night settles slow Nothing out there wants to come near

  Pre-chorus

  The sound rolls in from the edge of the dark Soft as breathing, far and low It only wants to carry you down

  Chorus

  Joanne, the night is holding you gentle and near Close your eyes now, there is nothing to fear Every far sound is just the world saying Ann Sleep now, sleep now, Joanne

  Verse 2

  The garden goes quiet and folds itself into shadow Somewhere a splash drifts and settles into still You are the warmest thing in this whole house tonight Safe on this side of the sill

  Bridge

  Let the far water hush what the day left behind Nothing can reach you, nothing has the right You are held closer than any sound in the night

  Chorus

  Joanne, the night is holding you gentle and near Close your eyes now, there is nothing to fear Every far sound is just the world saying Ann Sleep now, sleep now, Joanne

  Outro

  Far off the water keeps its slow quiet song You can rest now, you have carried nothing wrong

  Verse 1

  Warm water curls into steam and drifts up past the door Softly the hallway light hums low along the floor You are wrapped up snug where the quiet starts to grow Little Joanne, safe in the glow you understand

  Pre-chorus

  Now the steam has settled soft and the night leans in to stay Every worry of the day has quietly slipped away Close your eyes and let it carry you

  Chorus

  Joanne, my love, the dark is only a gentle land Nothing here can touch you, nothing here is grand Sleep is a warm hand resting light upon your span Joanne, hush now, this is where you understand

  Verse 2

  Steam still rises soft where the bathwater used to swirl Wrapped in towels warm you are the calmest little pearl Breathe in slow, let go of everything you began Rest here now beneath a sky you understand

  Chorus

  Joanne, my love, the dark is only a gentle land Nothing here can touch you, nothing here is grand Sleep is a warm hand resting light upon your span Joanne, hush now, this is where you understand

  Bridge

  Hold on to nothing but the hush around your head Let every breath grow slower as you drift toward your bed

  Chorus

  Joanne, my love, the dark is only a gentle land Nothing here can touch you, nothing here is grand Sleep is a warm hand resting light upon your span Joanne, hush now, this is where you understand

  Outro

  The steam has faded soft into the quiet of the hall Sleep now, Joanne, you are held through it all
