  Verse 1

  Ash is turning softer now behind the blackened brick settling into stillness with no hurry and no trick somewhere in that quiet warmth a small light holds its place you are held as gently, safe inside this fading day

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let your breathing slow to match the fire's own nothing in this room tonight will ever leave you alone sleep is only drifting closer, wrapped in shades of grey

  Chorus

  Ray, the dark won't ever touch the warmth you carry with you every ember dims but never really goes away you are loved beyond the reach of any hour or any name rest now Ray, there's nothing here that wants you anywhere but stay

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window night is folding on itself curling round the corners like a breath held soft and slow you don't need to watch it, you can let your eyelids play closing on the comfort that will still be here to stay

  Chorus

  Ray, the dark won't ever touch the warmth you carry with you every ember dims but never really goes away you are loved beyond the reach of any hour or any name rest now Ray, there's nothing here that wants you anywhere but stay

  Bridge

  Whatever the night is turning into, you don't have to see sleep is just another way of being kept, being free

  Chorus

  Ray, the dark won't ever touch the warmth you carry with you every ember dims but never really goes away you are loved beyond the reach of any hour or any name rest now Ray, there's nothing here that wants you anywhere but stay

  Outro

  Somewhere the ash keeps glowing long after the flames have gone so does the love that's holding you gently until the dawn

  Verse 1

  A little white light sweeps slow across the ceiling tonight drifting soft through the dark like a small quiet kite and under its glow you are warm, you are still curled up safe in the hush while the whole house stays still

  Pre-chorus

  That light only passes, it never once stays but I will be here through the long quiet ways so close your eyes now, let the evening unfold

  Chorus

  Ray, my love goes with you into sleep tonight you are held so gently, you are held so tight Ray, the dark is kind here, there is nothing to fear sleep now, little Ray, for I am always near

  Verse 2

  The light will keep sweeping long after you dream tracing soft little circles, calm as a stream and you will not notice, you'll be far away somewhere warm and untroubled, drifting light as day

  Bridge

  Every shadow that moves is only the night being kind every hush in this room was made just to unwind you slow nothing here means you harm, nothing here ever will this whole small world tonight is built to keep you still

  Chorus

  Ray, my love goes with you into sleep tonight you are held so gently, you are held so tight Ray, the dark is kind here, there is nothing to fear sleep now, little Ray, for I am always near

  Outro

  The light keeps sweeping soft, but you are already gone safe inside your sleep now, till the morning comes on

• Ray, Close Your Eyes

  Cello cradle · Cello · Low · Warm

  A slow cello lullaby for settling a little one named Ray, built around pine shadows moving softly on the window as the world outside grows still.

  Verse 1

  The pine needles brush so softly on the glass tonight Their shadows sway slow like they know you're near Every little movement is gentle, never sharp or bright Nothing in this room could bring you fear

  Pre-chorus

  The house is breathing slower now, the day has let you go Your eyes are growing heavy, soft as falling snow And all the world is folding down to just this quiet glow

  Chorus

  Ray, you are the calm this whole house waits for Sleep is just a door that opens soft and wide Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to keep score Ray, you're held so gently on this side

  Verse 2

  Outside the window branches move like hands that wave goodnight Their shapes slide down the glass and fade away You don't need to watch them, you don't need to hold on tight Just let your breathing settle into grey

  Pre-chorus

  The house is breathing slower now, the day has let you go Your eyes are growing heavy, soft as falling snow And all the world is folding down to just this quiet glow

  Chorus

  Ray, you are the calm this whole house waits for Sleep is just a door that opens soft and wide Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to keep score Ray, you're held so gently on this side

  Bridge

  Whatever moved today can rest now, still and low There's nowhere left to be, no further you must go

  Chorus

  Ray, you are the calm this whole house waits for Sleep is just a door that opens soft and wide Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to keep score Ray, you're held so gently on this side

  Outro

  The pine outside will keep its watch until the morning grey Sleep now, you are so loved, and so is every day
