  Verse 1

  Something soft is tapping at the window near your bed little clay pots holding all the rain that's overhead every drop is small and none of them can do you harm you are folded up and held here, safe and warm

  Chorus

  Rowan, close your eyes now, let the evening carry you nothing in this room tonight has anywhere to go but slow the rain will hum a hush that only you can hear this clear Rowan, you are wanted here, and wanted year to year

  Verse 2

  You breathe out slow and something in this house grows still the small pots catch the rain that gathers on the sill you are the warmest thing in every corner of this night held so close that nothing here could ever feel unright

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere past the glass the whole wide sky is coming down but none of it can touch the quiet that you've found so let the dark stay soft and let your breathing slow and grow

  Chorus

  Rowan, close your eyes now, let the evening carry you nothing in this room tonight has anywhere to go but slow the rain will hum a hush that only you can hear this clear Rowan, you are wanted here, and wanted year to year

  Bridge

  Let the rain keep counting hours you don't need to keep you have nothing left to hold but sleep

  Chorus

  Rowan, close your eyes now, let the evening carry you nothing in this room tonight has anywhere to go but slow the rain will hum a hush that only you can hear this clear Rowan, you are wanted here, and wanted year to year

  Outro

  The small clay pots will hold the rain till morning comes around and you will still be loved as softly, sound for sound

  Verse 1

  The lamp throws a gold little glow on the wall tonight Soft on the flowers that climb up beside your bed Stripes on the curtains are keeping the dark at bay You are the warmest, most wanted thought in my head

  Chorus

  Rowan, the night is soft and it's only glowing Close your eyes now, love, let the hours keep flowing Nothing can touch you while this light is showing Rowan, my dear one, safe while you're growing

  Verse 2

  Every small breath that you take is a peaceful sound Wrapped in the warmth that this quiet room can hold You are the calm at the centre of all I've found Sleep now, my darling, there's nothing you're owed

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the walls hold you gentle and near Nothing tonight has a reason for fear Rest in the hum of the ones who are here

  Chorus

  Rowan, the night is soft and it's only glowing Close your eyes now, love, let the hours keep flowing Nothing can touch you while this light is showing Rowan, my dear one, safe while you're growing

  Bridge

  Outside the window the world turns slow and still No storm can find you, no cold, no hurt, no chill You are the softest place that my heart can rest

  Chorus

  Rowan, the night is soft and it's only glowing Close your eyes now, love, let the hours keep flowing Nothing can touch you while this light is showing Rowan, my dear one, safe while you're growing

  Outro

  The lamp will keep glowing gold against the wall Sleep on, little Rowan, held safe through it all

  Verse 1

  A small red glow is resting on the floor beside your bed Nothing in this room would ever want to touch your head Close your eyes now, let the quiet come and settle in Sleep is only softness, love, and nothing to be scared of instead

  Pre-chorus

  Every little shadow here is gentle, none of them will stay Your breathing's getting slower and the night is clearing space So let the day go quiet now and drift another way

  Chorus

  Rowan, the whole wide house is holding still for you tonight Nothing needs your eyes open, nothing needs the light There's a warmth that stays around you even when it's snowing Rest here, Rowan, you don't have to keep on going

  Verse 2

  Tiles hold a little colour from a clock that never sleeps Watching over corners while the whole house softly breathes Nobody is asking you to notice it at all Let your thoughts go quiet as the evening falls

  Chorus

  Rowan, the whole wide house is holding still for you tonight Nothing needs your eyes open, nothing needs the light There's a warmth that stays around you even when it's snowing Rest here, Rowan, you don't have to keep on going

  Bridge

  No need to count the hours or to wonder where they went Somebody's right beside you and the night was always meant To carry you as gently as a river carries stones

  Chorus

  Rowan, the whole wide house is holding still for you tonight Nothing needs your eyes open, nothing needs the light There's a warmth that stays around you even when it's snowing Rest here, Rowan, you don't have to keep on going

  Outro

  That small red light will keep its quiet watch till morning comes Sleep now, you are held by more than one small warming glow
