  Verse 1

  A yellow beam is sweeping slow across your green wool blanket softly like it's searching just to find you and to thank you dust is drifting easy in the hush of this small room you are held here, Lena, safer than you'll ever know it

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the evening settle on your shoulders nothing here can reach you while the light keeps watching over rest is coming gentle, like a wave that's rolling nearer

  Chorus

  Lena, Lena, sleep is calling soft and low every drifting speck of dust was told which way to go down into the quiet where the warm light likes to stay Lena, you are wanted here, wherever you may go

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window night is folding in its edges warmth is climbing upward through the wool without a hurry you don't need to open eyes to feel that you are cradled stillness wraps around you like it learned your name at Athena

  Bridge

  Nothing in this room will move unless it moves for you breathing slow beside you till the morning comes back too

  Chorus

  Lena, Lena, sleep is calling soft and low every drifting speck of dust was told which way to go down into the quiet where the warm light likes to stay Lena, you are wanted here, wherever you may go

  Outro

  The beam has settled quiet on your green wool blanket now sleep well, little Lena, you are safe here, always safe now

  Verse 1

  Out past the glass the black water is wide and still There's a small red light that blinks on the far off hill It keeps its slow watch while the whole world starts to rest And you are held here, safe against a warm, calm chest

  Pre-chorus

  The night is thick but nothing here can reach you now Every shadow softens low and settles down somehow Close your eyes, my love, while the dark turns kind and slow

  Chorus

  Lena, Lena, the light beats soft and low Like a heart that's learned the gentle way to glow Nothing in this night was ever built to harm You're the warmest thing inside this quiet, dark Lena, sleep now, you are safe within my arm

  Verse 2

  The window holds the cold and keeps it far outside While the little beacon blinks its patient, steady tide Nothing has to hurry, nothing has to be undone You can drift so easy now, my dearest little one

  Chorus

  Lena, Lena, the light beats soft and low Like a heart that's learned the gentle way to glow Nothing in this night was ever built to harm You're the warmest thing inside this quiet, dark Lena, sleep now, you are safe within my arm

  Bridge

  Far off waters may be endless, deep and wide But you are closer than the breath here at my side Let the blinking light just fade into a hum Nothing in this world can touch you, love, while I am here

  Chorus

  Lena, Lena, the light beats soft and low Like a heart that's learned the gentle way to glow Nothing in this night was ever built to harm You're the warmest thing inside this quiet, dark Lena, sleep now, you are safe within my arm

  Outro

  The light still blinks out there beyond the glass, so far away But you are wrapped in warmth and drifting soft toward day

  Verse 1

  Rest now, the boat has stopped its gentle turning Water is smoothing out its every crease Softly the ripples touch the hull and settle Everything round you is easing into peace

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes, let the current carry slower Nothing tonight will ask a thing of you Sleep is the shore that we are drifting toward

  Chorus

  Lena, the night is holding you so gently Nobody's calling you away from here You are the calm this whole wide dark leans into Lena, there's nothing in the world to fear

  Verse 2

  Wrapped in the warmth that never asks you questions Held by the hush that settles on the deep You are the reason this small boat feels steady Drift now, and let the water rock you deep

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes, let the current carry slower Nothing tonight will ask a thing of you Sleep is the shore that we are drifting toward

  Chorus

  Lena, the night is holding you so gently Nobody's calling you away from here You are the calm this whole wide dark leans into Lena, there's nothing in the world to fear

  Bridge

  Somewhere an oar lies quiet across the planks Waiting for morning, patient in the dark You are the reason quiet feels like safety Sleep, little one, and let me keep the watch

  Chorus

  Lena, the night is holding you so gently Nobody's calling you away from here You are the calm this whole wide dark leans into Lena, there's nothing in the world to fear

  Outro

  The boat is still, the water calm around us Sleep now, Lena, safe till morning comes
