Lullabies for Romy

Verse 1

Softly the buckle clicks and settles you in tight the dashboard glows a small and gentle light you are the reason every road feels calm and slow the only place I want to be is close to you, I know

Pre-chorus

Let your eyes grow heavy as the streetlights drift and blur there is nowhere safer than right here where you are so let the hum beneath you carry you somewhere warm

Chorus

Romy, the night is holding you so gently now every mile is quiet, every breath somehow you are loved beyond the words I have to say Romy, close your eyes, I'm not going anywhere away

Verse 2

The clock glows soft and steady like a tiny patient moon counting down the minutes till you drift off soon nothing in this darkness means you any harm you are wrapped in something steadier than my arm

Chorus

Romy, the night is holding you so gently now every mile is quiet, every breath somehow you are loved beyond the words I have to say Romy, close your eyes, I'm not going anywhere away

Bridge

Wherever this road happens to be going I will still be here when the morning starts showing you can rest inside the warmth that we have made

Chorus

Romy, the night is holding you so gently now every mile is quiet, every breath somehow you are loved beyond the words I have to say Romy, close your eyes, I'm not going anywhere away

Outro

Sleep now while the small light glows on steady and slow you are safe here, wherever this quiet road may go

Verse 1

Outside the glass goes dark and holds the streetlight low and gold You watch it settle soft across the blanket on the radiator Warm wool waiting just for you before you're tucked and told Sleep is only love that's learned to fold itself and hold

Pre-chorus

Nothing out there needs you now, no reaching and no roam Let the window keep its light and let your eyes grow slowly closed Come and let the warm take you home

Chorus

Romy, the whole house breathes around you soft and low You're the warmest thing this quiet room will ever know Nothing in the dark tonight is anything but calm Sleep now, Romy, safe inside the glow

Verse 2

Glass keeps the cold outside and lets the amber colours in You're wrapped up closer than the wool against the radiator's hum Even shadows here seem gentle, learning how to bend Every little sound tonight is soft and slow and low

Bridge

Rest your small weight into mine and let the evening still There's nowhere warmer in the world than right here, right now

Chorus

Romy, the whole house breathes around you soft and low You're the warmest thing this quiet room will ever know Nothing in the dark tonight is anything but calm Sleep now, Romy, safe inside the glow

Outro

Somewhere past the glass the streetlight keeps its steady gold Sleep now, Romy, wrapped in warm and held in all I know

Verse 1

Somewhere past the window a breeze is barely moving white curtains lift and settle like they're breathing with you every little rustle is a secret kept for no one nothing in this room has any reason to worry you

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes now, the dark is soft and holds no harm the frame stands painted, patient, guarding where you lie and every breath you're taking pulls you closer to

Chorus

Romy, Romy, the night is wrapped around you slowly hush now, nothing stirring means you any harm you are loved beyond the reach of anything unruly Romy, you were always meant to feel this calm

Verse 2

The candlelight has dimmed to just a whisper on the wall you are smaller than the shadows but so much braver too sleep is only quiet asking you to trust it fully nothing in this house is anything but true

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes now, the dark is soft and holds no harm the frame stands painted, patient, guarding where you lie and every breath you're taking pulls you closer to

Chorus

Romy, Romy, the night is wrapped around you slowly hush now, nothing stirring means you any harm you are loved beyond the reach of anything unruly Romy, you were always meant to feel this calm

Bridge

Let the breeze keep moving, you don't need to know its reason you are held so gently, you don't need to keep watch

Chorus

Romy, Romy, the night is wrapped around you slowly hush now, nothing stirring means you any harm you are loved beyond the reach of anything unruly Romy, you were always meant to feel this calm

Outro

Sleep now while the curtains breathe their slow and quiet rhythm you are safe as morning waits to find you here
