Lullabies for Lana

Verse 1

The fringe of the blanket lies soft across my lap tonight I trail it so gently along your tiny drowsy hand Every thread here is holding you steady, holding you tight And nothing tonight is too heavy for you to withstand

Chorus

Lana, the dark is a quiet and welcoming room Hush now, my Lana, the stars have all settled in place Lana, you're wrapped in the warmth of the wide gentle moon Sleep now and know you are held in a tender embrace

Verse 2

The lamp in the corner is dimming to amber and gold Your breath finds a rhythm as slow as the tide going out Nothing can reach you, my love, while these arms gently hold There's nothing tonight in this room to be wary about

Pre-chorus

Close now your eyes, let the evening grow soft as a sigh The blanket lies warm and its edges are combed with my thumb Rest here a while as the quiet keeps drifting on by

Chorus

Lana, the dark is a quiet and welcoming room Hush now, my Lana, the stars have all settled in place Lana, you're wrapped in the warmth of the wide gentle moon Sleep now and know you are held in a tender embrace

Bridge

Somewhere a clock keeps a soft steady beat through the night Somewhere the wind lays its head down and stills at your door

Chorus

Lana, the dark is a quiet and welcoming room Hush now, my Lana, the stars have all settled in place Lana, you're wrapped in the warmth of the wide gentle moon Sleep now and know you are held in a tender embrace

Outro

The fringe of the blanket still rests where your small hand had been Sleep well, little Lana, and dream of the soft and serene

Verse 1

Leaves are dancing softly on the canvas above your head Every shadow moves so gently, rocking you to bed The trees are humming quietly, keeping watch tonight And the whole wide world grows softer as the light turns red

Chorus

Lana, Lana, close your eyes and rest here now Nothing in the dark can touch you, love will show you how Somewhere past the branches, the evening bends and sighs You are held so close, Lana, safe beneath the bough

Verse 2

Little breaths are rising slowly, warm beneath the trees Nothing here can hurry you, no reason and no need The dappled light is falling soft as feathers on your face And the night wind hums a tune to carry you with ease

Pre-chorus

Hush now, let the shifting shadows carry you away Nothing waits beyond this moment, nothing needs to stay Just the gentle sway of branches leading you to

Chorus

Lana, Lana, close your eyes and rest here now Nothing in the dark can touch you, love will show you how Somewhere past the branches, the evening bends and sighs You are held so close, Lana, safe beneath the bough

Bridge

Every leaf above you falls to guard your sleeping face You are cradled gently in this quiet, moving place

Chorus

Lana, Lana, close your eyes and rest here now Nothing in the dark can touch you, love will show you how Somewhere past the branches, the evening bends and sighs You are held so close, Lana, safe beneath the bough

Outro

The leaves will keep on turning long after you're asleep Rest now, little Lana, love is yours to keep

Verse 1

White cotton lifts and settles by the window in the dark Soft as a breath that barely leaves the smallest mark You are the reason this whole room feels warm tonight Wrapped in a quiet no shadow dares to fight

Pre-chorus

Somewhere a curtain sighs and drifts against the frame Nothing can reach you here, nothing can call your name

Chorus

Lana, Lana, hush is falling slow Deep in your dreaming, softer than you know You are held closer than the curtain to the pane Lana, sleep easy, let the dark be kind again

Verse 2

Nobody needs to watch the window while you rest Nothing but calm is settling into your chest Feel how the night leans gentle over you like a friend Wrapping you round till morning without an end

Bridge

Sway a little slower now, the room has grown so still Sleep is a tide that answers to your will

Chorus

Lana, Lana, hush is falling slow Deep in your dreaming, softer than you know You are held closer than the curtain to the pane Lana, sleep easy, let the dark be kind again

Outro

Somewhere that same white curtain settles against the sill You are the calm this whole dark room is wrapped until
