  Verse 1

  Brass swings soft behind the wooden slats tonight Counting down the hours till the morning light Nothing in this house is asking you to hurry Rest inside the hush and let it hold you tight

  Pre-chorus

  Every tick is small and slow and kind Nothing in the dark is left to find So let your breathing follow into sleep

  Chorus

  Lindsay, the night is wrapped around you soft and low Sleep is a river and you're letting it just flow Lindsay, kinsey, windsy, none of it matters now Close your eyes, my dear one, let the whole world go

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a pendulum keeps its patient, easy pace Nothing will rush you from this warm and quiet place You are the reason the whole room feels this gentle Sink a little deeper into linseed and lace

  Chorus

  Lindsay, the night is wrapped around you soft and low Sleep is a river and you're letting it just flow Lindsay, kinsey, windsy, none of it matters now Close your eyes, my dear one, let the whole world go

  Bridge

  Every swing says stay, says rest, says you are safe Nothing out there tonight can reach this space Hold onto nothing but the sound of slow and steady

  Chorus

  Lindsay, the night is wrapped around you soft and low Sleep is a river and you're letting it just flow Lindsay, kinsey, windsy, none of it matters now Close your eyes, my dear one, let the whole world go

  Outro

  Somewhere the brass still swings behind the wooden slats You are already drifting, soft and safe and calm

  Verse 1

  Quiet falls soft over every green leaf tonight Cool drops are gathering while you drift into rest Stars have no hurry, they hang in their gentle light Sleep now, my dear one, held safe in your nest

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing will wake you, the garden has gone still Breathe with the hush now, let go of the day Close your eyes, love, and lean into what I will

  Chorus

  Lindsay, the night keeps its promise to you Softly the dark wraps around where you lie Nothing can touch you, no harm getting through Lindsay, I'm here till the morning goes by

  Verse 2

  Every small leaf holds its water till dawn Patient and full, never spilling a drop You are that quiet, that steady, that calm Wrapped in the hush where the whole world stops

  Bridge

  Rest where the black sky is holding its breath Nothing tonight asks a thing of your heart

  Chorus

  Lindsay, the night keeps its promise to you Softly the dark wraps around where you lie Nothing can touch you, no harm getting through Lindsay, I'm here till the morning goes by

  Outro

  Sleep now, the leaves hold their dew until light I will hold you the same way, all through the night

  Verse 1

  There's a strip of yellow light along the floor tonight Just enough to tell you that you are not alone It slips beneath the door and settles soft and slight Waiting there so gently till the last small yawn has grown

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the day float far away Everything is quiet, everything can wait till morning Rest is calling softly and it wants you now to stay

  Chorus

  Lindsay, the light is low and warm and kind Sleep is a river and you're drifting free and slow Nothing can reach you, nothing's left to find Lindsay, we are near you wherever dreams may go

  Verse 2

  The hallway hums a hush that only babies understand A golden thread of comfort laid so carefully and slow It reaches through the dark to gently take your hand And tells you every shadow here is one you needn't know

  Chorus

  Lindsay, the light is low and warm and kind Sleep is a river and you're drifting free and slow Nothing can reach you, nothing's left to find Lindsay, we are near you wherever dreams may go

  Bridge

  Hush now, the house breathes slow around you Every corner soft, every worry gone to rest You are held here safely, wrapped in all that found you Sinking deeper, lighter, sweetly, into sleep's own quiet nest

  Chorus

  Lindsay, the light is low and warm and kind Sleep is a river and you're drifting free and slow Nothing can reach you, nothing's left to find Lindsay, we are near you wherever dreams may go

  Outro

  The yellow light will stay there gently glowing on the floor And you are always loved here, long after you close the door
