Verse 1 Sleep now, wanderer The road grows dim tonight Lay your weary footsteps down And rest beside the light The wind no longer calls you onward The dark means you no harm There is peace within these walls And safety in this warmth Chorus Sleep now… slowly… Let the night unbind your soul The fire still burns softly here You do not have to roam Close your tired eyes awhile Let silence hold you near Even restless hearts deserve A place untouched by fear Verse 2 The bells sway gently near the door The willow bends outside And all the stars above the roof Keep quiet watch tonight No need to outrun sorrow now No need to stand alone The earth still carries weary things And calls them gently home Bridge Some souls grow so accustomed to surviving They forget rest was ever meant for them Final Chorus So sleep now, wanderer The dawn can wait its turn Tonight the fire keeps watch for you Until your dreaming returns Ending (soft layered humming with faint bells and crackling fire) Mmmmm… Rest now… Mmmmm…
