  Verse 1

  Grey feathers stir on the oak past the windowpane Soft as a hush, soft as the falling of rain Everything out there is settling down to rest And you are held close, my own quiet refrain

  Pre-chorus

  The branch goes still and the whole sky starts to dim Down in the warm where the candlelight is thin Sleep is coming closer now, and it wants you in

  Chorus

  Ralph, the night is soft and it knows your name Nothing in the dark tonight could ever be a gaffe Every star above has come to stand behalf Close your eyes now, Ralph, and drift beyond the frame

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the glass a small wing folds to sleep Quiet as a promise that I mean to keep You are wrapped in warmth, in blankets soft and deep While the whole wide night goes gentle, slow and deep

  Bridge

  Let the wind outside just hum a low goodnight Nothing needs to move now, nothing needs to fight

  Chorus

  Ralph, the night is soft and it knows your name Nothing in the dark tonight could ever be a gaffe Every star above has come to stand behalf Close your eyes now, Ralph, and drift beyond the frame

  Outro

  The oak stands quiet, its grey wings folded still Sleep now, little one, held safe against the chill

  Verse 1

  White foam is drifting soft over pebbles worn smooth and slow Quietly the water is learning how far it can go You are the calm that the whole tide is turning around Nothing tonight makes a single unsettling sound

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the pebbles are keeping their small secrets still Sleep is a shoreline that gathers you gentle and full Close your eyes softly, there's nowhere you need to be but here

  Chorus

  Ralph, my dear Ralph, the water is turning for you Rest in the hush that the low tide is bringing on through Nothing can reach you while starlight is watching so near Ralph, you are held, and there's nothing at all you should fear

  Verse 2

  Somewhere the waves have gone quiet and folded their light Down where the pebbles lie counting the hours of night You are the warmth that no cold little current could steal Wrapped up in stillness, so safe and so real

  Chorus

  Ralph, my dear Ralph, the water is turning for you Rest in the hush that the low tide is bringing on through Nothing can reach you while starlight is watching so near Ralph, you are held, and there's nothing at all you should fear

  Bridge

  Let every small worry drift out with the foam Sleep is the shore that will always feel like home

  Chorus

  Ralph, my dear Ralph, the water is turning for you Rest in the hush that the low tide is bringing on through Nothing can reach you while starlight is watching so near Ralph, you are held, and there's nothing at all you should fear

  Outro

  Somewhere the pebbles are settling under the foam's gentle sigh Sleep now, my Ralph, while the low tide is singing goodnight

  Verse 1

  There's a soft white light that circles slowly on your ceiling Round and round it goes while you are curled up warm in bed Nothing in this house tonight will wake you or come near you Every turning of the light says all is well instead

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the day float gently out of reach Nothing you must hold onto, nothing you must say Just the light, and you, and quiet, drifting off to sleep

  Chorus

  Ralph, the light is turning soft and slow above your head Nothing here will ever hurt you, nothing here will ask for half Ralph, the whole wide house is settled, breathing round your little bed Sleep now, hold my whisper close, and know I love you, Ralph

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window, the whole world has gone to hushing Only this small room is bright with one slow turning glow You don't have to watch it, you can let your eyelids lower It will keep on turning gently long after you let go

  Bridge

  Even when the morning comes and pulls the curtains wide I will still be near you, right here by your side

  Chorus

  Ralph, the light is turning soft and slow above your head Nothing here will ever hurt you, nothing here will ask for half Ralph, the whole wide house is settled, breathing round your little bed Sleep now, hold my whisper close, and know I love you, Ralph

  Outro

  Sleep now, little one, beneath that slow and turning light Rest easy, Ralph, and let it carry you through night
