[Verse 1] Lay your head on the grain Let the dark take your name Melt your hands in the sheet Slow the pulse, slow the heat Close your eyes, settle down Feel the night all around I will sing you to shore Till you’re aching no more [Pre-Chorus] Breathe it in Let it go Soft and slow Soft and slow [Chorus] Sleep, my dear, sleep Rest in the deep Sleep, my dear, sleep Fall where the moonbeams weep Sleep, my dear, sleep Safe in the deep Sleep, my dear, sleep The whole long world can keep [Verse 2] Gold and dust on the floor Quiet rain at the door Every scar grows dim Every fear turns thin You are warm in the dark You are a small bright spark No more weight, no more fight Just the hush of the night [Pre-Chorus] Breathe it in Let it go Soft and slow Soft and slow [Chorus] Sleep, my dear, sleep Rest in the deep Sleep, my dear, sleep Fall where the moonbeams weep Sleep, my dear, sleep Safe in the deep Sleep, my dear, sleep The whole long world can keep [Bridge] Drift past the edge of thought Past the ones who were lost Hear the choirs fade low Like a tide in snow [Final Chorus] Sleep, my dear, sleep Rest in the deep Sleep, my dear, sleep Fall where the moonbeams weep Sleep, my dear, sleep Safe in the deep Sleep, my dear, sleep Now let your dreaming keep
