[Verse 1] Lie your head down slow Set your worries on the floor Let the cold white moon Keep its watch outside the door Breath in, breath out Let the old grief drift away I will hold this hush Till your thoughts go soft and gray [Pre-Chorus] Close your eyes Let the night come near Heavy heart You are safe in here [Chorus] Sleep now Sleep now Ash on the pillow, drift Sleep now Sleep now I’ll guard your quiet shift Sleep now Sleep now Let the long dark carry you Sleep now Sleep now Till the dawn feels far and blue [Verse 2] Pine trees sway like prayers Through the crack in your windowpane No need to solve the world No need to name the pain Lay it down, lay it down Like a coat by the bed Every sharp little thought Can go dim in your head [Pre-Chorus] Close your eyes Let the night come near Heavy heart You are safe in here [Chorus] Sleep now Sleep now Ash on the pillow, drift Sleep now Sleep now I’ll guard your quiet shift Sleep now Sleep now Let the long dark carry you Sleep now Sleep now Till the dawn feels far and blue [Bridge] Hush, little flame Rest your tired crown The whole black sky Is holding you down [Final Chorus] Sleep now Sleep now Ash on the pillow, drift Sleep now Sleep now I’ll guard your quiet shift Sleep now Sleep now Let the long dark carry you Sleep now Sleep now Till the dawn feels far and blue
