Lullabies for Safa

Verse 1

Watch how the window lays gold across your quiet wall Softly it slides while you drift beneath your blanket deep Nothing tonight is going to let you fall You are the reason this whole house learns to sleep

Pre-chorus

Close both your eyes now, let the hush come creeping in Feel how the dark has gone as gentle as your skin Somewhere inside you, the smallest light begins

Chorus

Safa, the night is only holding you with care Nobody's leaving, there is no need to be scared Rest now, my Safa, in the warm and golden air Safa, I'm here and I will always still be there

Verse 2

Every square of light will find you before it fades Crossing so slowly like it knows just where you lie You are the calm this tired old house has made Somebody loves you underneath this quiet sky

Pre-chorus

Close both your eyes now, let the hush come creeping in Feel how the dark has gone as gentle as your skin Somewhere inside you, the smallest light begins

Chorus

Safa, the night is only holding you with care Nobody's leaving, there is no need to be scared Rest now, my Safa, in the warm and golden air Safa, I'm here and I will always still be there

Bridge

Let every worry loosen and slide out of your hold Sleep is a soft coat woven just for you to keep

Chorus

Safa, the night is only holding you with care Nobody's leaving, there is no need to be scared Rest now, my Safa, in the warm and golden air Safa, I'm here and I will always still be there

Outro

Somewhere the light keeps sliding gently on your wall You are still golden even after it is gone

Verse 1

Watch the light slide gently over the roof above your bed Sweeping soft and slow like something breathing in the dark Nothing in this room will ever come to touch your head You are held here safer than a candle held by its spark

Chorus

Safa, close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you Every little worry fades before the night is through Safa, you are cradled in the calm the dark lets through Sleep is just another way that love keeps holding you

Verse 2

The lamplight sweeps so steady like a hand that pats your back Passing over shadows that could never do you harm Nothing waits outside tonight along that quiet track Only stillness settling soft around your sleeping arm

Pre-chorus

Let your breathing slow to match the hush that fills the room Feel the warmth around you gathering like evening into bloom Rest is coming closer, soft and sure, to take you home

Chorus

Safa, close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you Every little worry fades before the night is through Safa, you are cradled in the calm the dark lets through Sleep is just another way that love keeps holding you

Bridge

No need to watch the window, no need to count the hours Somebody stays beside you while the whole wide dark is yours

Chorus

Safa, close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you Every little worry fades before the night is through Safa, you are cradled in the calm the dark lets through Sleep is just another way that love keeps holding you

Outro

The light will keep on sweeping gently over that same roof While you drift off knowing you were always loved, that's proof

Verse 1

Somewhere a small clock is swinging slow behind the glass tonight Its face is pale and patient in the fading nursery light You are the reason the whole room feels so still and warm Nothing can reach you here, you're folded safe from harm

Pre-chorus

Hush now, the ticking is only time being kind Drifting so gently it slips right out of your mind Close your eyes soft, let the hours turn to hush

Chorus

Safa, the night is holding you like laughter held too long Rafa could not love you deeper, nor sing a truer song Safa, you're the warmest thing this quiet house has known Sleep now, you are cherished, you are never here alone

Verse 2

Watch the faint reflection wobble gently on the pane Nothing in this room could ever cause you any pain You breathe so slow and even, like the dark is on your side I could sit and watch you dreaming with a quiet kind of pride

Pre-chorus

Hush now, the ticking is only time being kind Drifting so gently it slips right out of your mind Close your eyes soft, let the hours turn to hush

Chorus

Safa, the night is holding you like laughter held too long Rafa could not love you deeper, nor sing a truer song Safa, you're the warmest thing this quiet house has known Sleep now, you are cherished, you are never here alone

Bridge

Every slow tick folding into one long, gentle after Wrapping you in something soft as evening laughter

Chorus

Safa, the night is holding you like laughter held too long Rafa could not love you deeper, nor sing a truer song Safa, you're the warmest thing this quiet house has known Sleep now, you are cherished, you are never here alone

Outro

Somewhere that small clock still swings slow behind the glass Sleep on, you are held here long after the ticking has passed
