  Verse 1

  Watch the amber climb so slowly up the stripes tonight Softly up the wall it goes, a quiet kind of light You are wrapped in blankets warm and heavy with the day Every worry you were holding melts and drifts away

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the house grow quiet, let your breathing slow Close your eyes and feel the warmth begin to gently flow Sleep is waiting just beyond the glow

  Chorus

  Sydney, sleep beneath the amber light Nothing here will trouble you tonight Safe and warm, so quietly you lie Sydney, drifting soft as any sigh

  Verse 2

  Down below the handrail waits so white and calm and still Painted years ago by someone who would keep you safe Nobody will move it while you rest here in this room Sleep will hold you gently till the morning comes for you

  Chorus

  Sydney, sleep beneath the amber light Nothing here will trouble you tonight Safe and warm, so quietly you lie Sydney, drifting soft as any sigh

  Bridge

  Bide with me a little longer, let the hours go slow Rest here where the gentle colours softly, softly glow

  Chorus

  Sydney, sleep beneath the amber light Nothing here will trouble you tonight Safe and warm, so quietly you lie Sydney, drifting soft as any sigh

  Outro

  The amber fades but leaves its warmth still on the wall Sleep well, little one, for someone watches over all

  Verse 1

  Salt spray is clinging soft to the dark glass now hushing the world until it forgets how to be loud far off the water thuds low against the sand you are already drifting, safe and slow somehow

  Chorus

  Sydney, Sydney, close your eyes and bide with me nothing out there in the dark can trouble what we've grown hold my hand and let the tide talk quietly Sydney, you were always meant to be beside me

  Verse 2

  Every sound outside has softened to a hush the night pulls its blanket gently over the wide bay you don't need to listen, only need to rest here tucked in warm while the water sings itself away

  Pre-chorus

  Sleep is coming closer now like a tide creeping in let your small breath slow to match the sea's slow swell stay a moment longer here before you drift completely

  Chorus

  Sydney, Sydney, close your eyes and bide with me nothing out there in the dark can trouble what we've grown hold my hand and let the tide talk quietly Sydney, you were always meant to be beside me

  Bridge

  Nothing can reach you through this warm and quiet room not the wind, not the dark, not the wide unsettled sea

  Chorus

  Sydney, Sydney, close your eyes and bide with me nothing out there in the dark can trouble what we've grown hold my hand and let the tide talk quietly Sydney, you were always meant to be beside me

  Outro

  Let the salt spray settle soft against the glass you are held here safely till the morning comes at last

  A slow, kalimba lullaby for settling a little one named Sydney, drawn from lace curtains stirring softly in moonlight over a small wooden bed.

  Verse 1

  Moonlight slips in soft between the lace and the wall Curtains lift and settle like a breath let go slow Your small hands are curled where the quiet starts to fall Close your eyes now, darling, let the hush be all you know

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere past the window the whole world turns to hush Nothing out there needs you, not tonight, not just yet So let the last light fade and let the day just

  Chorus

  Sydney, Sydney, tidy up your worries and lie down Nothing in this room will ever wander far from you Let the moon keep watch and let the lace turn round I will stay right here and quietly bide beside you too

  Verse 2

  The frame beneath you creaks the way old wood always will Rocking you so gentle like it learned to love you too Shadows on the ceiling never mean a bit of ill They only came to watch the moonlight fall on you

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere past the window the whole world turns to hush Nothing out there needs you, not tonight, not just yet So let the last light fade and let the day just

  Chorus

  Sydney, Sydney, tidy up your worries and lie down Nothing in this room will ever wander far from you Let the moon keep watch and let the lace turn round I will stay right here and quietly bide beside you too

  Bridge

  Sleep is only love that learned to hum instead of speak Every breath you take is safe and known and warm and slow

  Chorus

  Sydney, Sydney, tidy up your worries and lie down Nothing in this room will ever wander far from you Let the moon keep watch and let the lace turn round I will stay right here and quietly bide beside you too

  Outro

  Lace will keep on moving long after you have gone to sleep And I'll be right here watching, keeping all your quiet safe to keep
