  Verse 1

  Yellow light comes leaking soft through the blue cotton curtain Falling down in a warm little pool where you lie Nothing out in the dark tonight could ever hurt you You are held here so gently beneath this quiet sky

  Chorus

  Quinn, my love, let the whole wide world grow still Every breath that you take is warm and calm and thin Rest your head where the light comes down so still There is nowhere as safe as right here, Quinn

  Verse 2

  The pillow beneath you has worn soft at its edges Frayed and gentle from all of the nights spent this way You have made this small corner of the house your own kingdom And I will stay close until the dark turns to grey

  Pre-chorus

  Your eyes are getting heavy now, and that is alright The lamp will keep on glowing long after you dream Close them slow, my love, and drift into the light

  Chorus

  Quinn, my love, let the whole wide world grow still Every breath that you take is warm and calm and thin Rest your head where the light comes down so still There is nowhere as safe as right here, Quinn

  Bridge

  Sleep now, and let the hours turn soft and slow around you Nothing waits in the shadows but morning coming in

  Chorus

  Quinn, my love, let the whole wide world grow still Every breath that you take is warm and calm and thin Rest your head where the light comes down so still There is nowhere as safe as right here, Quinn

  Outro

  The yellow light will still be here when you wake tomorrow Warm on the pillow, waiting for you again

  Verse 1

  Warm water is easing away down the white little basin Every small drop finds its own gentle way to begin You are dry now, wrapped up, and the night waits so quiet Nothing left in the world but this soft steady grin

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, the water has gone where it goes Let the hush of the room settle down to your toes Sleep is coming to find you, so soft and so slow

  Chorus

  Quinn, my Quinn, let the whole day drain away Nothing to carry, nothing to win or to weigh Rest here beside me where the dark is thin Quinn, you are held here, quiet and safe, my Quinn

  Verse 2

  Somewhere the last little droplet slips down and is gone now Taking the noise of the day with it, thin as a pin You keep the warmth of it, curled in your blanket Nothing can follow you here, not even the wind

  Chorus

  Quinn, my Quinn, let the whole day drain away Nothing to carry, nothing to win or to weigh Rest here beside me where the dark is thin Quinn, you are held here, quiet and safe, my Quinn

  Bridge

  Sleep like the last warm drop finding its way home Slow, and unhurried, with nowhere else to be

  Chorus

  Quinn, my Quinn, let the whole day drain away Nothing to carry, nothing to win or to weigh Rest here beside me where the dark is thin Quinn, you are held here, quiet and safe, my Quinn

  Outro

  The basin is empty now, and the whole house is still Sleep on, little Quinn, you are safe on the sill

  Verse 1

  Grey wool fringe hangs soft over corduroy knees in the dim light Down in the corner where the whole wide day finally slows to rest Nothing can reach you here, tucked so far from any kind of harm The hush of this room is only for you, of everyone, the best

  Pre-chorus

  Your breathing is slower now than the candle's little flame Somewhere above you the hum of the house is calling your name So let your small hand loosen and let the evening begin

  Chorus

  Quinn, the dark is only a blanket folded soft and thin Nothing out there can touch you, nothing can get in You are held so gently here, right where you have always been Sleep now, sleep now, Quinn, sleep now, my Quinn

  Verse 2

  The wool is warm where it rests against the old worn chair Every thread of this quiet room was gathered just for you Outside the window the night walks slow and soft on bare feet And nothing that it carries will ever come to trouble you

  Chorus

  Quinn, the dark is only a blanket folded soft and thin Nothing out there can touch you, nothing can get in You are held so gently here, right where you have always been Sleep now, sleep now, Quinn, sleep now, my Quinn

  Bridge

  Somewhere a hush is humming low, without a single word Just a warmth that gathers round you like a wing around a bird

  Chorus

  Quinn, the dark is only a blanket folded soft and thin Nothing out there can touch you, nothing can get in You are held so gently here, right where you have always been Sleep now, sleep now, Quinn, sleep now, my Quinn

  Outro

  The grey wool settles softly now over corduroy knees gone still Sleep on, little one, in the corner where nothing can touch or spill
