  Verse 1

  Shadows are stretching soft across the ceiling above you now Feathers brush gently on the branch outside, so soft and slow Nothing can reach you here beneath this quiet, sheltering sky You are the calmest thing I've ever held so close and warm

  Pre-chorus

  The dark is only velvet, nothing sharp is hiding there Every small sound outside is settling into evening air Close your eyes now, let the hush come closer, softer, near

  Chorus

  Kathleen, Kathleen, the night has gone serene Sleep now, my Kathleen, safest thing I've ever seen You rest between the shadows and the warm and steady light There is nowhere safer, Kathleen, than right here tonight

  Verse 2

  The branch outside sways gently while the feathers settle down to rest Somewhere past the window all the tired world is going quiet too I will stay right here and watch the ceiling's slow and easy drift You are held so fully, nothing needs to worry you tonight

  Pre-chorus

  The dark is only velvet, nothing sharp is hiding there Every small sound outside is settling into evening air Close your eyes now, let the hush come closer, softer, near

  Chorus

  Kathleen, Kathleen, the night has gone serene Sleep now, my Kathleen, safest thing I've ever seen You rest between the shadows and the warm and steady light There is nowhere safer, Kathleen, than right here tonight

  Bridge

  Whatever comes tomorrow, you are cradled now in this There is nothing you could carry that this quiet can't dissolve

  Chorus

  Kathleen, Kathleen, the night has gone serene Sleep now, my Kathleen, safest thing I've ever seen You rest between the shadows and the warm and steady light There is nowhere safer, Kathleen, than right here tonight

  Outro

  The feathers rest so still now on the branch beyond the glass Sleep on, Kathleen, the shadows keep you gently as they pass

  Verse 1

  Little flecks of gold are swimming slow above your head Drifting soft as breath through one warm bulb of amber light Nothing in this room is hurried, nothing needs to rush You are the stillest, kindest thing that this old house has seen

  Chorus

  Kathleen, the dust is dancing gently just for you tonight Rest here where the golden hush is holding on so tight Somewhere past the window, stars are settling in between Kathleen, you are the calm this whole house waits to keep

  Verse 2

  Down on the rug the shadows curl up soft around your toes Every little speck of light is floating home to rest Close your eyes and let the warm room carry what it knows You were always safe, you were always loved the best

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the evening settle low and slow and near Feel the quiet gathering to hold you soft and clear Sleep is coming gentle, and it's calling you to hear

  Chorus

  Kathleen, the dust is dancing gently just for you tonight Rest here where the golden hush is holding on so tight Somewhere past the window, stars are settling in between Kathleen, you are the calm this whole house waits to keep

  Bridge

  Every small light drifting knows the way back to your rest Nothing needs to hurry when you're held like this and blessed

  Chorus

  Kathleen, the dust is dancing gently just for you tonight Rest here where the golden hush is holding on so tight Somewhere past the window, stars are settling in between Kathleen, you are the calm this whole house waits to keep

  Outro

  Sleep now, let the golden hush drift low across the floor You are loved here, you are held here, always, evermore

  Verse 1

  Somewhere a steel tap is letting the water go slow Drop by drop into a bowl in the evening light Everything softens the longer the quiet hours grow And you are the calm at the centre of my night

  Pre-chorus

  Hear how the small sounds settle and slowly unwind Feel how the warmth of this room holds you serene Close your eyes now and let the whole world fall behind

  Chorus

  Kathleen, Kathleen, the dark is gentle and kind Nothing can reach you, nothing has slipped in between Sleep now and know you were always so loved, so entwined Every soft hour was waiting to cradle Kathleen

  Verse 2

  The water keeps falling so easy, so light on the ear Filling the bowl with a rhythm as old as the moon Nothing tonight in this house has a reason for fear And you are the reason I'm humming this tune

  Pre-chorus

  Hear how the small sounds settle and slowly unwind Feel how the warmth of this room holds you serene Close your eyes now and let the whole world fall behind

  Chorus

  Kathleen, Kathleen, the dark is gentle and kind Nothing can reach you, nothing has slipped in between Sleep now and know you were always so loved, so entwined Every soft hour was waiting to cradle Kathleen

  Bridge

  Let every worry drip away and be gone Let the hush of the night carry you until dawn

  Chorus

  Kathleen, Kathleen, the dark is gentle and kind Nothing can reach you, nothing has slipped in between Sleep now and know you were always so loved, so entwined Every soft hour was waiting to cradle Kathleen

  Outro

  Somewhere that tap is still letting the water go slow Sleep now, my Kathleen, and drift where the quiet notes go
