  Verse 1

  Somewhere a wicker chair leans and sighs beneath the quiet the floorboards holding on to every sound you make wool blankets sliding slow like they too are tired and you are held so gently nothing here could break

  Chorus

  Wesley, close your eyes now, let the whole house rest nobody sleeping near you loves you less than best Wesley, you're the calm this creaking room has blessed nothing tonight will touch you, nothing but your rest

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a lamp burns low and paints the wall in amber shadows folding softly where the corners meet you curl up smaller than the whole wide room around you safe as anything can be beneath these sheets

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the creaking slows, the wool has settled the night pulls in around you like a tide and still you're wanted here more than you'll ever know it

  Chorus

  Wesley, close your eyes now, let the whole house rest nobody sleeping near you loves you less than best Wesley, you're the calm this creaking room has blessed nothing tonight will touch you, nothing but your rest

  Bridge

  Let the chair keep talking softly to the floor you don't have to answer, you don't have to hold on sleep can carry all the things you're not ready for and love will still be waiting when the dark is gone

  Chorus

  Wesley, close your eyes now, let the whole house rest nobody sleeping near you loves you less than best Wesley, you're the calm this creaking room has blessed nothing tonight will touch you, nothing but your rest

  Outro

  Somewhere that same old wicker settles into silence and you sleep on, held safe, no matter how it creaks

  Verse 1

  The copper kettle is cooling now on the iron ring above the sink Somewhere a tap is letting its last slow drop fall soft and low The whole house has folded its hands and settled into evening And you are the warmest part of it, the reason it glows

  Chorus

  Wesley, Wesley, the night has come to hold you Every quiet corner is keeping you from harm Nothing in this house would ever let the cold near you Wesley, you can rest here, safe inside this calm

  Verse 2

  The last light is going soft along the kitchen wall Steam has faded slow into the sleepy air above the ring You are curled up smaller than the shadows in the hall And still you are the biggest, brightest, dearest thing

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the kettle has stopped its singing Everything that moved today has finally slowed down too So let your breathing follow, gentle, easy, clinging

  Chorus

  Wesley, Wesley, the night has come to hold you Every quiet corner is keeping you from harm Nothing in this house would ever let the cold near you Wesley, you can rest here, safe inside this calm

  Bridge

  Sleep is only the house breathing slower around you No one is going anywhere while you close your eyes Somewhere the tap still drips its old and steady rhythm Keeping the time until the morning light can rise

  Chorus

  Wesley, Wesley, the night has come to hold you Every quiet corner is keeping you from harm Nothing in this house would ever let the cold near you Wesley, you can rest here, safe inside this calm

  Outro

  The kettle sits cool and easy on the darkened iron ring And you sleep on, held safe, the softest, sweetest thing

  Clarinet nightlight · Clarinet · Woodwind · Round

  Verse 1

  Behind the guard the fire is settling low and slow tonight curling into softer greys as if it's saying goodnight too every little sound has folded into quiet now and you are wrapped in warmth that's yours to keep, my Wesley

  Pre-chorus

  Watch how gently colours fade to nothing you need fear embers dimming down to whispers, sinking soft and near so let your breathing slow to match the calm that's drawing close

  Chorus

  Wesley, hush now, let the glow go quiet in its keeping close your eyes and drift where all the dark is only sleeping nothing here will stir before the morning comes to find you Wesley, rest, you're held here safer than the best of me

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the guard the last light folds and settles down you don't need to watch it, you can let your eyelids close warmth still lingers even when the flame has gone to rest and that same warmth is wrapped around you, holding steady

  Bridge

  Sleep can be as slow and grey as ashes falling still no one asks you to be anything but soft and warm tonight

  Chorus

  Wesley, hush now, let the glow go quiet in its keeping close your eyes and drift where all the dark is only sleeping nothing here will stir before the morning comes to find you Wesley, rest, you're held here safer than the best of me

  Outro

  Somewhere the last ash settles soft and grey behind the guard and you are sleeping warm, exactly where you're meant to be
