  Verse 1

  Rain is falling soft above your little hooded head Every drop is singing you to sleep instead of dread Birch leaves catch the water and they hum a lullaby Nothing in this whole wide world could ever make you cry

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and listen to the rhythm of the night Feel your breathing slowing as I hold you close and tight Let the hush of falling rain become your quiet light

  Chorus

  Kennedy, my Kennedy, you're safe here in my arms Nothing but the rain tonight, no reason for alarm You are all I dream about, my calm, my melody Kennedy, you're heavenly, you're everything to me

  Verse 2

  Underneath the hood the world feels small and warm and slow Even heavy raindrops fall so gently, soft and low You don't need to keep your tired little eyes open wide Sleep will come and find you here, so peaceful by my side

  Bridge

  Hush now, let the rhythm of the rain become your rest Nothing you could dream of could compare to being blessed

  Chorus

  Kennedy, my Kennedy, you're safe here in my arms Nothing but the rain tonight, no reason for alarm You are all I dream about, my calm, my melody Kennedy, you're heavenly, you're everything to me

  Outro

  Sleep beneath the hood where every raindrop hums so light Kennedy, my heavenly, I'll hold you through the night

  Verse 1

  A single lamp is burning low against the kitchen wall Grey threads of wool are catching all its warm and amber light Nothing in this quiet house is asking you for anything at all You can let your small hands rest now, you can say goodnight

  Chorus

  Kennedy, the dark is only softness wrapped around your bed Close those heavy eyes, my love, there's nowhere else to be You were made for gentle hours and for being safely fed Kennedy, you carry all my quiet melody

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window frost is settling on the sill Here inside it's only breathing, slow and warm and true Every worry of the day has gone completely still There is nothing in this whole wide night that isn't holding you

  Pre-chorus

  Feel how heavy sleep is pulling gently at your chest Hear how soft the house has gone around your little rest Let the amber light be all the answer you request

  Chorus

  Kennedy, the dark is only softness wrapped around your bed Close those heavy eyes, my love, there's nowhere else to be You were made for gentle hours and for being safely fed Kennedy, you carry all my quiet melody

  Bridge

  Hush now, nothing needs deciding before the morning comes Rest inside the stillness that this whole house has become

  Chorus

  Kennedy, the dark is only softness wrapped around your bed Close those heavy eyes, my love, there's nowhere else to be You were made for gentle hours and for being safely fed Kennedy, you carry all my quiet melody

  Outro

  Sleep now while the lamp still glows so soft along the floor You are loved as gently as that light, and always more

  Verse 1

  The fire has gone quiet and the room is breathing slow White ash is settling soft over black metal bars Every small sound of the evening has learned to let go And you are the warmest thing left under all these stars

  Pre-chorus

  Outside the dark is gentle and it means you no harm Every corner of this house is folded round you tight So let your tired eyes close in the last of the warm

  Chorus

  Kennedy, sleep now, the whole world can wait till the light There is nothing out there that could ever reach so near Kennedy, you are held soft through the whole of the night Close your eyes, my darling, there is nothing to fear

  Verse 2

  The grate has gone grey but the room still holds its heat You are curled up smaller than the hush around your head Somewhere far off a clock keeps on counting slow and sweet And nothing in this wide world would dare disturb your bed

  Chorus

  Kennedy, sleep now, the whole world can wait till the light There is nothing out there that could ever reach so near Kennedy, you are held soft through the whole of the night Close your eyes, my darling, there is nothing to fear

  Bridge

  Every ember fades but the love that watches stays Long after the last of the warmth has drifted thin

  Chorus

  Kennedy, sleep now, the whole world can wait till the light There is nothing out there that could ever reach so near Kennedy, you are held soft through the whole of the night Close your eyes, my darling, there is nothing to fear

  Outro

  The ash lies quiet now, pale over darkened bars Sleep on, little one, you are safer than the stars
