Lullabies for Tiffany

Verse 1

The fringe on the rug sways soft against the floor tonight and nothing in this room is asking you to wake the dark keeps still and holds its breath beside you waiting on the hush that only sleep can make

Chorus

Tiffany, the night has folded soft around your bed every shadow here has promised to be kind close your eyes and let the quiet carry you there is nowhere calmer that you'll ever find

Verse 2

Somewhere past the window a small wind moves the trees but it will not reach you, it will not reach this room you are further in than anything could follow tucked away inside the warm and gentle gloom

Pre-chorus

Let your breathing slow to match the swaying fringe let the last light dim to nothing you can see drifting now to where the soft dark waits for you

Chorus

Tiffany, the night has folded soft around your bed every shadow here has promised to be kind close your eyes and let the quiet carry you there is nowhere calmer that you'll ever find

Bridge

Somebody is here who will not leave your side watching how the small wool tassels barely stir that same stillness now is settling into you

Chorus

Tiffany, the night has folded soft around your bed every shadow here has promised to be kind close your eyes and let the quiet carry you there is nowhere calmer that you'll ever find

Outro

The fringe has stopped its swaying, the floor has gone to rest and you are held as gently as the dark holds everything

Verse 1

Grey feathers brush the gutter while the house breathes low and slow Pale moonlight finds the windowsill and pools there soft as snow You are the warmest thing within these quiet walls tonight Sleep now and let the dark outside stay far beyond the light

Pre-chorus

Hush now, the wind has nothing it can do Nothing out there gets to reach for you Close your eyes, there's somewhere soft to land

Chorus

Tiffany, the night is only kind here in this room Nothing touches you while I am watching over you Rest your head, there is no reason left to fight the dark Tiffany, you're held here safely, small and precious, like a spark

Verse 2

The cold outside just taps and turns and cannot find a way Somewhere far off feathers settle, waiting out till day But here your breathing slows to something gentle as a tide You never have to face the smallest shadow on your own inside

Chorus

Tiffany, the night is only kind here in this room Nothing touches you while I am watching over you Rest your head, there is no reason left to fight the dark Tiffany, you're held here safely, small and precious, like a spark

Bridge

Let the whole wide sky keep turning slow above the roof Nothing that it carries ever needs to be your proof You are already certain, already loved enough

Chorus

Tiffany, the night is only kind here in this room Nothing touches you while I am watching over you Rest your head, there is no reason left to fight the dark Tiffany, you're held here safely, small and precious, like a spark

Outro

The moonlight settles quiet now upon the sill and stays Sleep on, my Tiffany, and drift through softer, kinder days

Verse 1

Black soot slides slow down the old red bricks tonight behind the iron grate the embers glow so soft and bright hush now, this room holds nothing but the warm and slow you are the light I gather closer in my sight

Pre-chorus

Listen how quiet the whole wide house has grown the fire is banked and the small lamp glows alone so let your breathing slow to match the fading coal

Chorus

Tiffany, the night has drawn its gentle company round hold my hand and let the dark be soft, not a sound you are the warmest ember tucked beneath the flue nothing here can touch you, nothing here is found

Verse 2

Down behind the grate the soot has settled into rest shadows on the bricks are only shadows, nothing more you are folded in the blanket like a small caught nest sleep is just the fire turning low and turning slow

Pre-chorus

Listen how quiet the whole wide house has grown the fire is banked and the small lamp glows alone so let your breathing slow to match the fading coal

Chorus

Tiffany, the night has drawn its gentle company round hold my hand and let the dark be soft, not a sound you are the warmest ember tucked beneath the flue nothing here can touch you, nothing here is found

Bridge

Every spark that climbs the chimney learns to fade with ease so let your small hands loosen, let your worry go and rest you are held here safer than the warmth held in the bricks

Chorus

Tiffany, the night has drawn its gentle company round hold my hand and let the dark be soft, not a sound you are the warmest ember tucked beneath the flue nothing here can touch you, nothing here is found

Outro

The soot will keep on sliding while you drift and dream so deep behind the quiet grate, my love will keep the watch you keep
