  Verse 1

  Yellow light is lying soft across the bottom step tonight waiting there to catch you gently on your way to bed everything is slowing down and settling out of sight rest your head now, little one, there's nothing left to dread

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the whole wide house grow quiet around you let the hours fold themselves away and disappear close your eyes and let me hold the shape of you

  Chorus

  Jonah, the dark is only night and night is kind sleep is just a boat that carries you so slow you are held by everyone who loves you, always in my mind Jonah, wherever dreaming takes you, that's where I'll go

  Verse 2

  The stairs are dim but that one step still glows a little while holding on to daylight just to see you safely through I could watch that small warm patch of gold for miles knowing it will always lead me back to you

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the whole wide house grow quiet around you let the hours fold themselves away and disappear close your eyes and let me hold the shape of you

  Chorus

  Jonah, the dark is only night and night is kind sleep is just a boat that carries you so slow you are held by everyone who loves you, always in my mind Jonah, wherever dreaming takes you, that's where I'll go

  Bridge

  No harm can climb those stairs to reach you where you lie only quiet, only calm, only the soft goodnight you are the warmest thing this house has ever held inside

  Chorus

  Jonah, the dark is only night and night is kind sleep is just a boat that carries you so slow you are held by everyone who loves you, always in my mind Jonah, wherever dreaming takes you, that's where I'll go

  Outro

  The light will fade so gently from that step before you wake and I'll still be here loving you, for your whole sleep's sake

  Verse 1

  White muslin lifts and settles by the screen so soft and slow A quiet breath of evening telling every star to glow You are curled up warm beneath the blankets, safe and deep And nothing in this whole wide world can trouble your sleep

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the dark is only velvet folding round your bed Let every worry loosen and go floating from your head Close your eyes, my darling, there is nowhere else to be

  Chorus

  Jonah, the night is holding you the way it holds the sea Soft as Verona moonlight, calm as calm can be Jonah, you're cradled gently, you are safe with me Sleep now, little Jonah, drift as easy as can be

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a window's breathing with a curtain pale as cloud You don't need any lullaby that's sung out clear or loud Just this low hum beside you while the hours turn to rest You are the warmest corner of this whole night's gentle nest

  Chorus

  Jonah, the night is holding you the way it holds the sea Soft as Verona moonlight, calm as calm can be Jonah, you're cradled gently, you are safe with me Sleep now, little Jonah, drift as easy as can be

  Bridge

  Every shadow here is gentle, every hush a lullaby Nothing waits beyond the curtain but a calm and quiet sky

  Chorus

  Jonah, the night is holding you the way it holds the sea Soft as Verona moonlight, calm as calm can be Jonah, you're cradled gently, you are safe with me Sleep now, little Jonah, drift as easy as can be

  Outro

  Still that muslin curtain moves so softly by the screen Sleep on, dear Jonah, safe inside this calm goodnight

  Verse 1

  Raindrops slide down slowly while the dashboard glows so warm You are curled up softly, safe from any storm Nothing out there matters now, nothing needs to move Little Jonah, dreaming through the drive till dawn

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and listen to the engine hum so low Let the amber light around you rock you nice and slow Every mile is carrying you closer to the glow

  Chorus

  Jonah, you're the warmest thing this whole night knows Rain may fall forever but it never touches you Jonah, hold this stillness, let it carry where you go You are loved as steady as this soft light glows

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window the wet world drifts on by You don't need to watch it, you don't need to try Rest inside the quiet that this glow was made to keep Jonah, you're the reason this whole night feels so kind

  Chorus

  Jonah, you're the warmest thing this whole night knows Rain may fall forever but it never touches you Jonah, hold this stillness, let it carry where you go You are loved as steady as this soft light glows

  Bridge

  Let the wipers hush you, slow and even, side to side You are held so gently, you have nowhere left to hide

  Chorus

  Jonah, you're the warmest thing this whole night knows Rain may fall forever but it never touches you Jonah, hold this stillness, let it carry where you go You are loved as steady as this soft light glows

  Outro

  Sleep now, Jonah, while the glow keeps watching over you Rain will keep on falling soft, but you are through
