  Verse 1

  The landing's dark but under your door a soft light glows a quiet strip of orange that only your room knows it waits there just for you, so patient and so still holding back the shadows wherever it goes

  Pre-chorus

  So let your busy hands go loose upon the sheet let every little worry finally lose its feet close your eyes now, love, and drift to somewhere sweet

  Chorus

  Kieran, sleep is calling soft and low there's nowhere safer than this room you know the whole wide dark can't touch you here Kieran, let the quiet warmth just grow

  Verse 2

  I'll leave a little light on, just enough to see a gentle gold that settles like a hand upon the knee it's not the dark that matters, it's who's watching over you and I am here as long as you need me to be

  Pre-chorus

  So let your busy hands go loose upon the sheet let every little worry finally lose its feet close your eyes now, love, and drift to somewhere sweet

  Chorus

  Kieran, sleep is calling soft and low there's nowhere safer than this room you know the whole wide dark can't touch you here Kieran, let the quiet warmth just grow

  Bridge

  Even when the house falls silent, even when the hallway's still someone loves you fierce and quiet, and always will

  Chorus

  Kieran, sleep is calling soft and low there's nowhere safer than this room you know the whole wide dark can't touch you here Kieran, let the quiet warmth just grow

  Outro

  That line of light will still be glowing when the morning comes and you'll still be the one I'm watching over, little one

  Verse 1

  The leaves hang low and catch the rain before it finds you Every drop that falls is losing all its way Nothing cold or loud will ever come and blind you I am close beside you, watching over where you lay

  Pre-chorus

  Rain is only humming now, a soft and steady sound Nothing in this whole wide night can pull you from the ground Close your eyes, my love, and let the hush come round

  Chorus

  Kieran, the rain is only singing you to rest Softer than a breath upon your little sleeping head Kieran, you are held here, you are warm, you are the best Safe beneath the leaves and tucked in tight within your bed

  Verse 2

  The hood above you keeps the whole wet sky away Rocking gently while the darkness turns to grey Nothing out there matters more than how you're feeling Wrapped in something soft that keeps the cold from stealing

  Pre-chorus

  Rain is only humming now, a soft and steady sound Nothing in this whole wide night can pull you from the ground Close your eyes, my love, and let the hush come round

  Chorus

  Kieran, the rain is only singing you to rest Softer than a breath upon your little sleeping head Kieran, you are held here, you are warm, you are the best Safe beneath the leaves and tucked in tight within your bed

  Bridge

  Every drop that falls is falling soft for you alone Somewhere warm and quiet you will always call your own

  Chorus

  Kieran, the rain is only singing you to rest Softer than a breath upon your little sleeping head Kieran, you are held here, you are warm, you are the best Safe beneath the leaves and tucked in tight within your bed

  Outro

  Rest now underneath the leaves where the soft rain fell Sleeping safe and sound in the quiet where you dwell

  Verse 1

  Close your eyes now, let the little boat stop drifting Oars are lying flat and quiet on the wooden seats Nothing on this water needs to move before the morning You are safe within the hush of all these gentle beats

  Pre-chorus

  Every ripple settles softer as the night grows deep Nothing out here asks for anything but rest So let the quiet carry you toward sleep

  Chorus

  Kieran, the water's still and so are you Hushed and held while the whole wide dark is caring Kieran, there's nowhere else you need to be Just here, just safe, just Kieran, softly sharing

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the water, stars are lighting slowly Watching over you the way they always do No need to reach for them, they'll still be here at morning Sleep now, little one, the sky belongs to you

  Chorus

  Kieran, the water's still and so are you Hushed and held while the whole wide dark is caring Kieran, there's nowhere else you need to be Just here, just safe, just Kieran, softly sharing

  Bridge

  Drift a little further, nothing here will stir Rest against the quiet, let the dark be kind

  Chorus

  Kieran, the water's still and so are you Hushed and held while the whole wide dark is caring Kieran, there's nowhere else you need to be Just here, just safe, just Kieran, softly sharing

  Outro

  Sleep now, the little boat has found its stillness You are held as gently as the water holds its own
