Lullabies for Sloane

Verse 1

The little radio hums so soft beside your bed tonight A quiet static sound like the sea heard from far, held tight It hisses low and warm in the dark of the room And you are the dearest thing that this house has ever known

Chorus

Sloane, my love, the night is soft and slow Sloane, you are the warmest thing I know Rest your head, let all the worry go You are held here, you are never alone

Verse 2

The wooden radio glows a little, low upon the stand Its steady hush is small and kind, a hum you understand Nothing in this room will ever ask you to be strong You can simply breathe and drift where dreams are gently grown

Pre-chorus

Let the hushing sound wrap round you soft and slow Let your tired eyes grow heavy, let them close There is nothing waiting here but rest for you

Chorus

Sloane, my love, the night is soft and slow Sloane, you are the warmest thing I know Rest your head, let all the worry go You are held here, you are never alone

Bridge

No storm can find you here, no wind, no cold, no stone Just the humming little radio and the love that you are shown

Chorus

Sloane, my love, the night is soft and slow Sloane, you are the warmest thing I know Rest your head, let all the worry go You are held here, you are never alone

Outro

The radio hums on soft, a quiet friend beside your bed Sleep now, love, the warmth stays close, the whole night through

Verse 1

Somewhere far off the water is turning home Rolling soft over pebbles worn smooth and grey Nothing tonight can reach this little room, Sloane Everything loud has drifted a long way away

Pre-chorus

Listen how slow the dark comes rolling in Soft as a hand that smooths the blankets down Close your eyes now, let the hush begin

Chorus

Sloane, the tide is pulling gently out to sea Taking every worry further from this bed Nothing out there tonight is chasing after Sloane Only quiet water and the stars up overhead

Verse 2

The stones on the shore are settling one by one Cooling slow beneath a sky that's turned to rest You are held here closer than the tide is drawn Safe inside the warmth of this small quiet nest

Pre-chorus

Listen how slow the dark comes rolling in Soft as a hand that smooths the blankets down Close your eyes now, let the hush begin

Chorus

Sloane, the tide is pulling gently out to sea Taking every worry further from this bed Nothing out there tonight is chasing after Sloane Only quiet water and the stars up overhead

Bridge

Rest now, the whole wide sea has slowed its breath Every wave grows softer than the one before

Chorus

Sloane, the tide is pulling gently out to sea Taking every worry further from this bed Nothing out there tonight is chasing after Sloane Only quiet water and the stars up overhead

Outro

Far off still the water hums against the stone Sleep now, Sloane, you never sleep alone

Verse 1

The oak leaves sway so gently above where you are lying Every shadow that moves is only softness passing through Nothing out there in the dark can touch what you are keeping This whole wide night has folded down to shelter you

Pre-chorus

Hush now, let the branches breathe their slow and quiet tune Close your eyes and feel how safe this small world can be Sleep is coming gentle now, is coming soon

Chorus

Sloane, you are the warmest thing this night has ever known Every shifting shadow bends to keep you safe alone Rest here where the old oak leans and murmurs soft and low Sloane, my quiet treasure, it is time to let this go

Verse 2

The light comes through in pieces, soft and scattered on the canvas Nothing hurries, nothing calls, the evening holds its breath Somewhere far away the world keeps turning without you But here you rest, and rest is all the world it needs

Pre-chorus

Hush now, let the branches breathe their slow and quiet tune Close your eyes and feel how safe this small world can be Sleep is coming gentle now, is coming soon

Chorus

Sloane, you are the warmest thing this night has ever known Every shifting shadow bends to keep you safe alone Rest here where the old oak leans and murmurs soft and low Sloane, my quiet treasure, it is time to let this go

Bridge

No harm can find you underneath these old and steady arms You are held by more than branches, more than shade and stone

Chorus

Sloane, you are the warmest thing this night has ever known Every shifting shadow bends to keep you safe alone Rest here where the old oak leans and murmurs soft and low Sloane, my quiet treasure, it is time to let this go

Outro

The shadows slow their dance now, settling soft upon the ground Sleep well beneath the oak tree, safe and sound
