  Verse 1

  Somewhere a boat is resting on water so still and so wide You are the reason the dark doesn't frighten the tide Softly the oar leans quiet against the old wooden side Nothing will wake you, my love, for the night is your guide

  Chorus

  Keira, the water goes calm when you're near Sleep finds you easy, there's nothing to fear Kira, my darling, the ripples lie flat Close your eyes now, there's warmth where you're at

  Verse 2

  Little waves lift and they lower so slow near the boat Wrapped up and warm is the way that we float Nobody hurries the dark as it gathers you in You are the calm at the centre of everything

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the oar has stopped moving at all Softly the night pulls its blanket and shawl Ready to carry you, gentle and small

  Chorus

  Keira, the water goes calm when you're near Sleep finds you easy, there's nothing to fear Kira, my darling, the ripples lie flat Close your eyes now, there's warmth where you're at

  Bridge

  Let the black water hold you the way that I do Steady and slow, only gentle gets through Nothing can reach you where love keeps you deep

  Chorus

  Keira, the water goes calm when you're near Sleep finds you easy, there's nothing to fear Kira, my darling, the ripples lie flat Close your eyes now, there's warmth where you're at

  Outro

  Somewhere that boat is still resting on water so wide Sleep now, my Keira, safe on the tide

  Verse 1

  A small orange light is glowing soft above the blankets Keira, the night has folded up its noisy edges warmth is stacked in woolen piles beside your pillow hush is settling low like something we can't measure

  Chorus

  Keira, Keira, sleep is calling gentle now let the whole day slip away and loosen from your brow rest is a quiet river and you're drifting with the tide nothing in this soft dark room will ever let you down

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window there's a hum of engines sleeping numbers glow so faintly like a firefly is keeping watch your breathing finds its rhythm slower than the ticking clock this whole room breathes with you until the morning's peeking

  Pre-chorus

  Close your hands around the warmth that's piled here beside you let your worries fold themselves like blankets tucked in tight sleep is only waiting for the words that carry you

  Chorus

  Keira, Keira, sleep is calling gentle now let the whole day slip away and loosen from your brow rest is a quiet river and you're drifting with the tide nothing in this soft dark room will ever let you down

  Bridge

  Every small light in this house is watching over you dimming low so nothing wakes you, keeping steady, keeping true

  Chorus

  Keira, Keira, sleep is calling gentle now let the whole day slip away and loosen from your brow rest is a quiet river and you're drifting with the tide nothing in this soft dark room will ever let you down

  Outro

  The little orange light will keep on glowing soft till morning and you'll be wrapped in warmth the whole night long, Keira

  Verse 1

  Look how the small light spins its slow gold thread across the floor Tiny specks of dust are turning gently, going nowhere at all They drift the way your breathing drifts now, soft against the door This whole quiet room is holding still to catch you when you fall

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing here will hurry you, nothing here will pull you far The dark outside has folded up and tucked away every star So let your eyes grow heavy now, and drift to where you are

  Chorus

  Keira, the light is turning slow and low tonight Somewhere past the ceiling stars are dimming down for you There's a hush that finds you softer than the fading light Sleep now, Keira, there is nothing you must do

  Verse 2

  The little beam still wanders, tracing shapes along the wall It never rushes anywhere, it never needs to try You can let your shoulders loosen, you can let your worries fall The whole house breathes around you like a slow and gentle sigh

  Chorus

  Keira, the light is turning slow and low tonight Somewhere past the ceiling stars are dimming down for you There's a hush that finds you softer than the fading light Sleep now, Keira, there is nothing you must do

  Bridge

  Every small light dims to let the bigger dark come near You are held so closely nothing here can touch you now Rest inside the quiet, there is nothing you should fear

  Chorus

  Keira, the light is turning slow and low tonight Somewhere past the ceiling stars are dimming down for you There's a hush that finds you softer than the fading light Sleep now, Keira, there is nothing you must do

  Outro

  The dust has settled softly where the little light has gone Sleep on, Keira, the whole quiet night still holds you on
