Lullabies for Wren

Verse 1

Somewhere a clock is ticking slow behind the quiet wall cooling floors beneath us settle soft without a sound you are the warmest thing in this whole sleepy hall safe in my arms is where you will always be found

Pre-chorus

Hush now, the house is breathing gentle all around you nothing tonight can find you here or reach you let every small sound fade until sleep comes to hold you

Chorus

Wren, my darling, close those tired little eyes under this roof no harm can ever come again the whole wide dark is soft tonight, no cries rest easy now, sweet Wren, until the morning then

Verse 2

Down by the baseboard something cool is settling to rest just like your breathing, slower now with every passing minute I hold this moment closer than I hold anything else you are the quiet centre of this whole small, hushed room in it

Pre-chorus

Hush now, the house is breathing gentle all around you nothing tonight can find you here or reach you let every small sound fade until sleep comes to hold you

Chorus

Wren, my darling, close those tired little eyes under this roof no harm can ever come again the whole wide dark is soft tonight, no cries rest easy now, sweet Wren, until the morning then

Bridge

No clock can measure how much you are loved tonight stay small a while longer in this gentle, dim light

Chorus

Wren, my darling, close those tired little eyes under this roof no harm can ever come again the whole wide dark is soft tonight, no cries rest easy now, sweet Wren, until the morning then

Outro

Somewhere that clock keeps ticking soft behind the quiet wall sleep now, little one, you are the safest of us all

Verse 1

A little blue light hums soft on the cotton sheet It watches over you while your breathing turns slow and sweet Nothing in this room can reach you now And nothing in the dark will make you retreat

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes, the house is settling down The window's dark but the light still glows around Rest here, Wren, while the quiet grows

Chorus

Wren, the night has nowhere else to be but kind Wren, I'll keep the small blue glow close behind Nothing can call you from this warmth You are the softest thing my heart will ever find

Verse 2

The mattress holds you like it always knew your shape Every breath you take unwinds another little scrape Of worry that the day has left behind And in this hush there's nothing left to escape

Pre-chorus

Close your eyes, the house is settling down The window's dark but the light still glows around Rest here, Wren, while the quiet grows

Chorus

Wren, the night has nowhere else to be but kind Wren, I'll keep the small blue glow close behind Nothing can call you from this warmth You are the softest thing my heart will ever find

Bridge

Sleep is only love with the lights turned low Stay a while longer where the calm can grow

Chorus

Wren, the night has nowhere else to be but kind Wren, I'll keep the small blue glow close behind Nothing can call you from this warmth You are the softest thing my heart will ever find

Outro

Sleep now, the small blue light will keep its watch till morning And I'll be here beside it, loving you without warning

Verse 1

The kitchen breathes out slow while the last light dims to amber The towels hang soft and damp over handles worn and warm Somewhere a small flame flickers steady, patient, never in danger And you are held here safer than you'll ever know you are

Pre-chorus

So let the whole house settle round you, quiet, close and low Let every worry drift like steam that curls and then is gone Because there's nowhere safer than this glow you're wrapped in now

Chorus

Wren, the night has come to hold you gently Softly as the pilot light stays lit Wren, you're the warmest thing within it Sleep now, you were always meant for this

Verse 2

The kettle's hush has settled and the dark leans in so kindly Every corner of this kitchen folds itself around your rest Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will ever find you Only warmth, only the hum of home that loves you best

Pre-chorus

So let the whole house settle round you, quiet, close and low Let every worry drift like steam that curls and then is gone Because there's nowhere safer than this glow you're wrapped in now

Chorus

Wren, the night has come to hold you gently Softly as the pilot light stays lit Wren, you're the warmest thing within it Sleep now, you were always meant for this

Bridge

Even when the lights go low and the whole house turns to hush You are the flame that never wavers, never needs to rush

Chorus

Wren, the night has come to hold you gently Softly as the pilot light stays lit Wren, you're the warmest thing within it Sleep now, you were always meant for this

Outro

The towels sway soft above the quiet, steady glow Sleep now, little flame, we'll keep you warm till morning
