Lullabies for Terry

Verse 1

The little speaker hums a hush from up on the shelf A soft grey whisper spilling slowly over your bed I brought it close so you would never feel alone here It hums the same soft song that lives inside my head

Pre-chorus

That quiet crackle means there's nothing left to fear No sudden sound will find you while I'm keeping near So let the hum grow smaller as the dark comes close

Chorus

Terry, the night is soft and it is only ours Nothing but slow breath and quiet drifting near Terry, I'll stay right here while the static hushes low You are the warmest thing that I have ever held dear

Verse 2

The shelf light flickers gently like a far off little star Your eyelids sink as slowly as the hush begins to pour I watch the small rise of you breathing soft and even And nothing in this room could ever love you more

Bridge

Sleep can be as simple as a hum you learn by heart Rest inside the quiet where the good things never part

Chorus

Terry, the night is soft and it is only ours Nothing but slow breath and quiet drifting near Terry, I'll stay right here while the static hushes low You are the warmest thing that I have ever held dear

Outro

The little speaker hums on soft above your head Sleep now, my dear Terry, the whole night keeps you fed

Verse 1

Heavy drops are tapping soft against the window pane every one that falls tonight is falling down like rain nothing out there in the dark can find its way to you so rest your head and drift away, there's nothing you need explain

Pre-chorus

Listen how the water hums a tune against the glass hear it slow and steady as the minutes gently pass and feel how sleep is creeping close, so warm and soft and near

Chorus

Terry, close your eyes now, let the whole wide night go by nothing but the rain out there beneath the quiet sky you are held here safely, that is all you need to know Terry, sleep is coming soft, no need to wonder why

Verse 2

Every drop that taps the glass is singing you to rest the dark outside is gentle, it would never do you wrong your breathing slows, your small hands still, you settle into rest this is the hour made for you, the whole night long

Bridge

Nothing needs to hurry now, no reason to be wary the rain will fall till morning while you dream so deep and merry

Chorus

Terry, close your eyes now, let the whole wide night go by nothing but the rain out there beneath the quiet sky you are held here safely, that is all you need to know Terry, sleep is coming soft, no need to wonder why

Outro

The rain will keep on falling soft against the window pane and you will keep on sleeping safe till morning comes again

Verse 1

A small amber stub goes bouncing soft into the tray settling down slow the way your breathing does at night every little sound grows quiet at the end of day you are held here safely, tucked away from all the light

Chorus

Terry, Terry, close your eyes and rest your head sleep is warm and waiting, soft upon your little bed nothing in this whole wide night can come to bring you harm Terry, you are cradled here, so gentle, safe and warm

Verse 2

Somewhere far a silver tray has gone all still and quiet the ticket stubs have settled, amber, soft and slow you are wrapped in blankets warmer than the brightest light the whole wide world has softened just to let you go

Pre-chorus

Hush now, let the evening fold around you nice and slow every worry drifting gently out beyond the door close your eyes, my darling, feel the quiet start to grow

Chorus

Terry, Terry, close your eyes and rest your head sleep is warm and waiting, soft upon your little bed nothing in this whole wide night can come to bring you harm Terry, you are cradled here, so gentle, safe and warm

Bridge

Somewhere small and golden, something settles down to rest you are held the way that ticket rests inside its tray quiet now, my darling, you are dearly, truly blessed

Chorus

Terry, Terry, close your eyes and rest your head sleep is warm and waiting, soft upon your little bed nothing in this whole wide night can come to bring you harm Terry, you are cradled here, so gentle, safe and warm

Outro

Somewhere still an amber light is glowing soft and low sleep now, gentle Terry, let the whole night hold you slow
