  Verse 1

  There's a light that turns so slowly out where the dark waves roll Round and round it goes above the water, warm and low It was built to keep the ships from ever losing hold And you are held that closely, more than you could ever know

  Chorus

  Linda, Linda, close your eyes now, let the night turn round Somewhere out beyond the harbour, that same beam sweeps the sound Nothing in the dark can find you, nothing gets you, Linda You're the safest thing this whole wide sleeping world has found

  Verse 2

  The brass is old and heavy, but it never once grows tired Turning through the salt and quiet long after lamps retire Somewhere far off a boat is steering only by that fire And you can rest inside the warmth that you and I require

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let your breathing slow to match the rolling tide Every wave that reaches shore was somewhere far and wide There's nothing in the whole night sky you need to run and hide

  Chorus

  Linda, Linda, close your eyes now, let the night turn round Somewhere out beyond the harbour, that same beam sweeps the sound Nothing in the dark can find you, nothing gets you, Linda You're the safest thing this whole wide sleeping world has found

  Bridge

  Sleep can be an ocean, wide and gentle, dark and deep And you're the one small light that I will always want to keep

  Chorus

  Linda, Linda, close your eyes now, let the night turn round Somewhere out beyond the harbour, that same beam sweeps the sound Nothing in the dark can find you, nothing gets you, Linda You're the safest thing this whole wide sleeping world has found

  Outro

  The beam still turns out there tonight, slow gold across the waves And I'll stay turning too, right here, however long it takes

  Verse 1

  Dust is spinning slow in the amber evening light Turning circles soft and easy on the wall tonight The flowers on the paper seem to breathe and sway Watching over you as the day drifts away

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the quiet pull you in Every worry of the day grows thin There's nothing waiting but the soft and gentle dark

  Chorus

  Linda, Linda, sleep is calling soft and slow Wrapped in warmth from your head down to your toe Nothing in this room can ever cause you harm Held all night inside a golden, quiet arm

  Verse 2

  The light will fade so gently till the room turns blue Still that warmth stays curled up close beside you Somewhere far the stars are waking one by one Standing watch till morning brings the sun

  Chorus

  Linda, Linda, sleep is calling soft and slow Wrapped in warmth from your head down to your toe Nothing in this room can ever cause you harm Held all night inside a golden, quiet arm

  Bridge

  You are loved more than the whole wide house can hold Cradled in a hush that never turns cold Rest now, little one, and let the night be kind

  Chorus

  Linda, Linda, sleep is calling soft and slow Wrapped in warmth from your head down to your toe Nothing in this room can ever cause you harm Held all night inside a golden, quiet arm

  Outro

  The dust still turns slow in a circle of amber light Sleep now, Linda, safe and warm through the night

  Verse 1

  Somewhere a radio hums low between the songs Static breathing soft while the house lets go its light Floorboards settle down, forgetting all their wrongs You are curled up warm and sinking into night

  Pre-chorus

  Every hiss and hush is rocking you to sleep Nothing in this room will ever let you fall Close your eyes now, love, and let the quiet keep

  Chorus

  Linda, the whole dark room is holding you tonight Hush now, Belinda, nothing here will do you harm Sleep finds you gentle in the fading amber light Linda, you are folded soft in someone's arm

  Verse 2

  Jazz notes drift like smoke through the cooling air Slipping past the static, slow and warm and low You breathe in time with songs you cannot hear Rocking chair keeps turning where the lamplight glows

  Chorus

  Linda, the whole dark room is holding you tonight Hush now, Belinda, nothing here will do you harm Sleep finds you gentle in the fading amber light Linda, you are folded soft in someone's arm

  Bridge

  Rest now, let the static hold its quiet hymn Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to end You are safe inside this small and gentle dim

  Chorus

  Linda, the whole dark room is holding you tonight Hush now, Belinda, nothing here will do you harm Sleep finds you gentle in the fading amber light Linda, you are folded soft in someone's arm

  Outro

  The radio hums itself to nothing, soft and slow You are already dreaming where the warm light used to glow
