[Verse 1] Lay your armor down By the cedar door Let the old cold day Slide out through the floor Close your heavy eyes Let the embers fade Softly in the dark All your fears are laid [Pre-Chorus] Breathe in slow Breathe out slow Let the river take What you won't hold [Chorus] Sleep now, my dear Sleep now, my dear The night will carry you Sleep now, my dear Rest in the rain Rest in the rain Warm in the falling Rest in the rain [Verse 2] Moon on the windowpane Silver on your skin Every ragged thought Drifts and thins within No need to answer back No need to be brave Even broken stone Learns to sink and wave [Pre-Chorus] Breathe in slow Breathe out slow Let the river take What you won't hold [Chorus] Sleep now, my dear Sleep now, my dear The night will carry you Sleep now, my dear Rest in the rain Rest in the rain Warm in the falling Rest in the rain [Bridge] Hush, the night is kind Hush, the night is near Lay your name beside Every passing fear (Ooh) softly, softly (Ooh) let it go (Ooh) deeper, deeper (Ooh) down below [Final Chorus] Sleep now, my dear Sleep now, my dear The night will carry you Sleep now, my dear Rest in the rain Rest in the rain Warm in the falling Rest in the rain Sleep now, my dear Sleep now, my dear Peace like a candle Rest in the rain
