Lullabies for Will

Verse 1

A small flame is bending, soft and low on its saucer Wax has pooled into rings, slow and warm as they gather You are held in this hush where the shadows grow kind Nothing hurries tonight, there is nowhere to find

Pre-chorus

The wick leans down gentle as your eyes start to close Every breath that you take slows the world as it goes So let the light settle, let the dark hold you near

Chorus

Will, my Will, let the quiet come in Soft as wax pooling, soft as your skin Nothing can touch you, nothing brings chill Sleep finds you easy, sleep finds you still

Verse 2

You curl like the flame does, small and unbothered by dark Breathing so steady it echoes the pulse of the hearth Every small sound in the house has gone gentle for you Even the night here is learning what warmth is to do

Chorus

Will, my Will, let the quiet come in Soft as wax pooling, soft as your skin Nothing can touch you, nothing brings chill Sleep finds you easy, sleep finds you still

Bridge

Let the last light go low, let it settle and dim There is nothing to chase, there is no need to swim You can rest in this stillness, you can rest without fear

Chorus

Will, my Will, let the quiet come in Soft as wax pooling, soft as your skin Nothing can touch you, nothing brings chill Sleep finds you easy, sleep finds you still

Outro

The flame has gone quiet, gone soft as your sighing Sleep well, little Will, while the wax is still drying

Verse 1

The slippers rest together on the rug beside the bed waiting quiet for the morning, holding warmth the whole night through and just like them, my darling, you are gently, softly led into sleep that keeps you safe until the light comes new

Chorus

Will, the house is settling slow around you now every corner soft with hush, every shadow still sleep is calling gentle, Will, and you can trust it now rest here safely with me, warm against the chill

Verse 2

The runner rug lies patterned underneath the fading light holding little footprints from a day that's drifted by tomorrow waits beyond the dark to fill you with delight but now the stars are watching from the quiet sky

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes and let the evening carry all its weight breathe it slow and feel the warmth that gathers where you lie sleep is waiting near you now, it will not make you wait

Chorus

Will, the house is settling slow around you now every corner soft with hush, every shadow still sleep is calling gentle, Will, and you can trust it now rest here safely with me, warm against the chill

Bridge

Nothing here will wander, nothing here will roam every little corner of this room is your own home

Chorus

Will, the house is settling slow around you now every corner soft with hush, every shadow still sleep is calling gentle, Will, and you can trust it now rest here safely with me, warm against the chill

Outro

The slippers wait together till the morning comes around and you will sleep as safely, held and steady, without a sound

Verse 1

Grey flakes are landing so softly against the cold pane Nothing outside there can trouble your rest or your calm Wrapped up in warmth while the night draws its curtain You're safe in this room while the frost starts to gain

Pre-chorus

Hush now, the world has gone quiet and slow Nothing can reach you, no wind and no snow Close your eyes gently, let sleep start to grow

Chorus

Will, you're the warmth that this whole house is keeping Down come the flakes while your breathing stays still Nothing tonight will come near you or startle Will, you're the calm at the top of the hill

Verse 2

Watch how the glass holds the grey world at bay Every soft flake settles slow and lies still Somewhere past morning the sun will come find you But now it's just you and the hush and the sway

Chorus

Will, you're the warmth that this whole house is keeping Down come the flakes while your breathing stays still Nothing tonight will come near you or startle Will, you're the calm at the top of the hill

Bridge

Sleep is a blanket that only grows deeper Sleep is the hand that will carry you home

Chorus

Will, you're the warmth that this whole house is keeping Down come the flakes while your breathing stays still Nothing tonight will come near you or startle Will, you're the calm at the top of the hill

Outro

Grey flakes still gather and cling to the window Sleep now, dear Will, you are held and you're still
