  Verse 1

  Softly the water is folding its white foam over stone Calling you gently to rest as the daylight fades away You are the reason this quiet old harbour feels like home Nothing can trouble you now as the evening turns to grey

  Pre-chorus

  Far off a foghorn is humming its slow and steady song Wrapping the dark like a blanket to carry you along Close up your eyes now, my love, and let the tide grow strong

  Chorus

  Paula, the night is holding you soft and holding you near Sleep finds you easy tonight with nothing at all to fear Rest now, sweet Paula, the water is calling you clear Everyone loves you, my darling, and always will, my dear

  Verse 2

  Down where the pebbles are smoothed by years and years of the sea You are the warmth that outshines every star in the sky Hushed are the waves as they murmur so quietly Close is the harbour that keeps you, and close am I

  Chorus

  Paula, the night is holding you soft and holding you near Sleep finds you easy tonight with nothing at all to fear Rest now, sweet Paula, the water is calling you clear Everyone loves you, my darling, and always will, my dear

  Bridge

  Even the boats have come in now to rest where it's still You are the light that no darkness could ever quite fill

  Chorus

  Paula, the night is holding you soft and holding you near Sleep finds you easy tonight with nothing at all to fear Rest now, sweet Paula, the water is calling you clear Everyone loves you, my darling, and always will, my dear

  Outro

  Let the last of the foam settle soft on the shore You are held here forever, and loved evermore

  Verse 1

  Rain runs slow along the window while the room stays warm and still Somewhere near a glass is cooling, but you're wrapped from any chill Nothing out there needs an answer, nothing tonight will test your will Close your eyes now, little Paula, let the dark be soft, not shrill

  Chorus

  Paula, Paula, hush now, settle deep There is nowhere safer for you than this quiet, gentle sleep Every worry of the daylight has already gone to keep Paula, Paula, drift now, sleep so sweet

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a radiator hums low beneath the falling grey outside You don't need to know the weather, you have someone by your side Wood and glass and rain together make a hush that cannot hide All the love that's here around you, steady as the turning tide

  Pre-chorus

  Listen how the whole house softens, listen how it dims its light Even shadows lean in closer, gentle now and losing height Nothing left to do but hold you closer as we say goodnight

  Chorus

  Paula, Paula, hush now, settle deep There is nowhere safer for you than this quiet, gentle sleep Every worry of the daylight has already gone to keep Paula, Paula, drift now, sleep so sweet

  Bridge

  Let the glass stay cooling quietly, let the water find its way You are held through every darkness till the coming of the day

  Chorus

  Paula, Paula, hush now, settle deep There is nowhere safer for you than this quiet, gentle sleep Every worry of the daylight has already gone to keep Paula, Paula, drift now, sleep so sweet

  Outro

  Rain still runs along the window, softer now than when it came Sleep, my Paula, sleep so gently, safe and warm and known by name

  Verse 1

  Softly the small speaker hums its low and steady tune Warming the wallpaper gold beneath the rising moon You are the reason this whole room learned to glow Curled up so small where the quiet voices flow

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the humming will carry you far Nothing tonight can follow where you are Sleep is a boat and you're drifting to the stars

  Chorus

  Paula, the light is only for you tonight Nothing can reach you, you're held so tight Close your eyes, Paula, let the hum stay low You are the warmest thing this house will ever know

  Verse 2

  Down the hall a quiet gold keeps spilling on the wall Wrapping your small breathing in its gentle shawl You are so loved that even shadows soften here Nothing in this room was ever built for fear

  Bridge

  Rock slow, rock easy, the night has grown so kind Let every worry drift and stay behind

  Chorus

  Paula, the light is only for you tonight Nothing can reach you, you're held so tight Close your eyes, Paula, let the hum stay low You are the warmest thing this house will ever know

  Outro

  The speaker hums on soft as amber turns to grey You are so loved, and loved, and safe, and stay
