Lullabies for Sawyer

Verse 1

Soft grey ash is falling over embers gone half gold closing round the warmth so gently, keeping it from cold you are held the very same way, quiet and unseen and that warmth will still be waiting long after you fold

Pre-chorus

Little breaths are slowing now to match the settling fire nothing here is asking you for more than you can give so let your busy little heart grow softer and grow slower

Chorus

Sawyer, the whole room is breathing low and easy just for you close your eyes, there's nothing waiting that you need to hurry to only warmth and quiet folding gently over one small bed hush now Sawyer, everything you love is staying true

Verse 2

Somewhere past the window all the sharp edges have gone soft under blankets thick as smoke that drifts up to the loft you don't have to watch the dark, it isn't watching back dreams are only ash and light, they rise, they never cost

Chorus

Sawyer, the whole room is breathing low and easy just for you close your eyes, there's nothing waiting that you need to hurry to only warmth and quiet folding gently over one small bed hush now Sawyer, everything you love is staying true

Bridge

Even the embers give up their glowing slow, never all at once just the way you're giving up the day, breath by gentle breath

Chorus

Sawyer, the whole room is breathing low and easy just for you close your eyes, there's nothing waiting that you need to hurry to only warmth and quiet folding gently over one small bed hush now Sawyer, everything you love is staying true

Outro

Somewhere the ash has covered every ember down to sleep and you are covered too, and safe, and loved, and deep

Verse 1

A slow gold light is moving across the whitewashed wall it slips so soft and quiet through the darkened window pane you watch it drift above you and you're not afraid at all for every gentle shadow only holds you safe again

Chorus

Sawyer, close your eyes now, let the whole night hold you tight you are the calm this house was always waiting for Sawyer, nothing moves here that could ever cause you fright just rest inside the quiet, you are loved down to the core

Verse 2

The beam has crossed the ceiling and it settles by your bed it warms the little corner where your softest dreams will grow you don't need any answers to the thoughts inside your head just breathe and let the darkness rock you gently, soft and slow

Pre-chorus

Somewhere beyond the glass the stars are keeping watch tonight and every little sound out there is far too far to reach so let your heavy eyelids drift and dim the fading light

Chorus

Sawyer, close your eyes now, let the whole night hold you tight you are the calm this house was always waiting for Sawyer, nothing moves here that could ever cause you fright just rest inside the quiet, you are loved down to the core

Bridge

Hush now, let the whole wide dark be gentle, be your friend there is nothing in the shadow that could ever bring you harm

Chorus

Sawyer, close your eyes now, let the whole night hold you tight you are the calm this house was always waiting for Sawyer, nothing moves here that could ever cause you fright just rest inside the quiet, you are loved down to the core

Outro

The light has settled softly on the wall above your head sleep now, little Sawyer, you are safe in every thread

Verse 1

A bright little circle glows soft on the blue tonight resting so gently, it hardly makes a sound at all the room has gone quiet, the world has gone still and slow and here in this hush is exactly where you should be

Pre-chorus

The house breathes out slowly, the last little light turns low your blanket lies waiting, so soft and so warm below and something is humming a tune just for you to hear

Chorus

Sawyer, the night wraps around you like arms holding tight you're safe as the moon in its wide gentle circle of light nothing can reach you, no shadow, no far away noise sleep now, dear Sawyer, the quietest of overjoyers

Verse 2

The cotton is cool where your small tired head comes to rest the room holds its breath like it's guarding a wonderful thing no clatter, no hurry, just one steady heartbeat nearby and you are the reason this whole quiet night feels so kind

Pre-chorus

The house breathes out slowly, the last little light turns low your blanket lies waiting, so soft and so warm below and something is humming a tune just for you to hear

Chorus

Sawyer, the night wraps around you like arms holding tight you're safe as the moon in its wide gentle circle of light nothing can reach you, no shadow, no far away noise sleep now, dear Sawyer, the quietest of overjoyers

Bridge

Every small breath that you take is a treasure to keep so close your eyes softly and drift where the dreaming runs deep

Chorus

Sawyer, the night wraps around you like arms holding tight you're safe as the moon in its wide gentle circle of light nothing can reach you, no shadow, no far away noise sleep now, dear Sawyer, the quietest of overjoyers

Outro

That small bright circle still glows on the blue, soft and slow sleep well, dear Sawyer, the whole quiet night holds you close
