Lullabies for Teagan

Verse 1

A strip of yellow light lies still across the grey carpet floor Quiet as a held breath outside your bedroom door You are wrapped up warm where the soft dark starts to grow Nothing in this house is asking you to go

Pre-chorus

Let your small hands rest, let your eyes grow heavy too The whole day folds itself away and saves its best for you Close your eyes now, love, there is nowhere left to be but

Chorus

Teagan, the light is low and soft upon the floor Sleep finds you gentle, Teagan, just like it did before Nothing can follow you past this quiet door Teagan, you are held here, you are safe, you are more

Verse 2

Somewhere a clock ticks slower than it did at noon Shadows lean and settle like they're humming your tune You don't need to answer, you don't need to see Just breathe here beside me, that's all there needs to be

Chorus

Teagan, the light is low and soft upon the floor Sleep finds you gentle, Teagan, just like it did before Nothing can follow you past this quiet door Teagan, you are held here, you are safe, you are more

Bridge

Rest now, the stripe of gold has faded into grey Morning will come back around and find you either way

Chorus

Teagan, the light is low and soft upon the floor Sleep finds you gentle, Teagan, just like it did before Nothing can follow you past this quiet door Teagan, you are held here, you are safe, you are more

Outro

The carpet holds its hush where the last light used to fall Sleep well, dear Teagan, you are loved beyond it all

Verse 1

Soft foam is folding over stones that have waited all day for you the sky above has no stars but it still knows your name nothing out there in the dark can reach this quiet room hush now, Teagan, the night is soft and it means you no shame

Pre-chorus

Somewhere the water is smoothing the edges of every worry let it carry the sound of the day far out and away close your eyes while the tide keeps turning slower

Chorus

Teagan, the dark is only a blanket pulled up to your chin there's nowhere so gentle as here where you're held and kept Teagan, my hands are the shore that will not let you drift sleep now, the whole wide night has only been waiting while you slept

Verse 2

The water forgets every stone the moment it moves along but I remember the shape of you before you could even speak warmth is a thing that stays even when all the light is gone rest here, Teagan, there's nothing in this night you need to seek

Pre-chorus

Somewhere the water is smoothing the edges of every worry let it carry the sound of the day far out and away close your eyes while the tide keeps turning slower

Chorus

Teagan, the dark is only a blanket pulled up to your chin there's nowhere so gentle as here where you're held and kept Teagan, my hands are the shore that will not let you drift sleep now, the whole wide night has only been waiting while you slept

Bridge

No stars tonight but you don't need their light to find your way you are already held by something steadier than day

Chorus

Teagan, the dark is only a blanket pulled up to your chin there's nowhere so gentle as here where you're held and kept Teagan, my hands are the shore that will not let you drift sleep now, the whole wide night has only been waiting while you slept

Outro

The foam keeps folding soft and slow over the same old stones and you are held here safely long after the whole world's grown quiet

Verse 1

Somewhere the wheels are turning soft on the silver rail Rocking a rhythm as quiet as breath through the dark Every small click is a promise that cannot fail Carrying you home like a lantern, a steady spark

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes now, let the night take the weight of the day Nothing can reach you here, nothing can lead you astray Feel how the dark holds you gently and won't let go

Chorus

Teagan, my love, the whole world softens for you Nothing but calm in the hush of the blue Rest now, sweet Teagan, there's nowhere you need to be Just the slow turning wheels and the dark and me

Verse 2

Far down the track there's a warmth that never runs cold Wrapped in the hum of the engine that sings you to rest Nothing tonight is too heavy for you to hold Only the dark laying soft little stars on your chest

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes now, let the night take the weight of the day Nothing can reach you here, nothing can lead you astray Feel how the dark holds you gently and won't let go

Chorus

Teagan, my love, the whole world softens for you Nothing but calm in the hush of the blue Rest now, sweet Teagan, there's nowhere you need to be Just the slow turning wheels and the dark and me

Bridge

Every mile that passes only pulls you closer to peace You are held, you are kept, you are never alone

Chorus

Teagan, my love, the whole world softens for you Nothing but calm in the hush of the blue Rest now, sweet Teagan, there's nowhere you need to be Just the slow turning wheels and the dark and me

Outro

The wheels turn slower now, easing you into the deep Sleep, little Teagan, the dark will keep you asleep
