  Verse 1

  A line of gold is resting on the floorboard by your bed Somewhere close a gentle hand is watching over your small head Nothing in this house tonight would ever wish you harm You are held as softly as a whispered word instead

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the quiet settle over everything you are Every worry of the day is fading soft and far Close your eyes, the dark is kind, it's carrying you on

  Chorus

  Sleep now, sleep now, Winifred, the night has come to stay Nothing in the shadows here will ever lead you astray Rest inside the calm that only bedtime brings You are loved beyond the words that any song has said

  Verse 2

  Somewhere down the hallway low a lamp is glowing warm and slow Its gentle light has found the crack beneath your open door Feel it settle round you like a blanket freshly spread You are safe as anything that's ever been this well bred

  Chorus

  Sleep now, sleep now, Winifred, the night has come to stay Nothing in the shadows here will ever lead you astray Rest inside the calm that only bedtime brings You are loved beyond the words that any song has said

  Bridge

  Let the humming carry you where nothing needs to be Drift a little further out on something soft and free

  Chorus

  Sleep now, sleep now, Winifred, the night has come to stay Nothing in the shadows here will ever lead you astray Rest inside the calm that only bedtime brings You are loved beyond the words that any song has said

  Outro

  The gold beneath the door will keep on glowing while you rest You are the warmest thing this quiet house has ever blessed

  Verse 1

  Soft creaks the woven armrest under this old wooden chair Wrapped in a woollen blanket, warm and without a care Your breathing slows to match the rhythm of the night Held here so gently, tucked away from the light

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere a small bell hums a tune so faint and true Every soft creak of the chair is singing straight to you So close your eyes now, love, there's something left to say

  Chorus

  Winifred, the night has come to lay you down to rest Nothing in this quiet world could love you half as best Winifred, the stars have lit a path that leads to sleep Sleep now, little one, this peace is yours to keep

  Verse 2

  Fringe of wool trails soft against your tiny curling hand Nothing in this moment moves you don't already understand Rocking slow, the chair breathes out a steady wooden sigh Nothing in this dark can touch you, only you and I

  Chorus

  Winifred, the night has come to lay you down to rest Nothing in this quiet world could love you half as best Winifred, the stars have lit a path that leads to sleep Sleep now, little one, this peace is yours to keep

  Bridge

  Hush now, the wooden frame will hold you safe till morning light You are the calmest thing that ever lived inside this night

  Chorus

  Winifred, the night has come to lay you down to rest Nothing in this quiet world could love you half as best Winifred, the stars have lit a path that leads to sleep Sleep now, little one, this peace is yours to keep

  Outro

  Still creaks the woven armrest, slower now, and low Sleep, Winifred, and know you're loved wherever you go

  Verse 1

  Close your eyes now, the water is rocking soft and low Somewhere a hull leans slowly into the dark and back again Every small wave is turning so quietly, moving slow Warm in this stillness, you're held here, safe within

  Pre-chorus

  The night has settled its whole weight down upon the tide Hush now, there's nothing that needs you awake and worried still Let the dark carry you gently over to the other side

  Chorus

  Winifred, sleep while the water is turning slow beneath us Rest your small head where the lantern light has spread Nobody's leaving, and nothing tonight will trouble us Winifred, drift now, the whole wide dark is fed

  Verse 2

  Somewhere the rope holds steady against the pull of the current You don't have to hold on, you can let your shoulders go Even the ripples are learning to be more patient Curled in this warmth, you are cared for, held in tow

  Bridge

  Rock with the boat, let your breathing find its rhythm Nothing will wake you before the morning comes instead

  Chorus

  Winifred, sleep while the water is turning slow beneath us Rest your small head where the lantern light has spread Nobody's leaving, and nothing tonight will trouble us Winifred, drift now, the whole wide dark is fed

  Outro

  Somewhere the black water still folds against the wood so gently Sleep now, you are safe, and morning will find you well
