Coat on the Hook
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
The wool coat hangs so still above the bare wood floor
Waiting there in silence by the old brass door
And you are wrapped in blankets, soft and warm and deep
Safe inside this house while the whole world goes to sleep

[Pre-chorus]
Every little sound outside is far away tonight
Nothing here can touch you, nothing gives you fright
Close your eyes now, Danny, let the hush come near

[Chorus]
Danny, Danny, sleep is calling soft and slow
Close your eyes and let the quiet gently grow
You are held here, Danny, safer than you know
Rest your head and drift where all the dreams can go

[Verse 2]
That old coat has hung there through a hundred nights before
Watching over hallways, guarding by the door
And I watch over you now, steady as that same old thread
Keeping every shadow far away from your small bed

[Pre-chorus]
Every little sound outside is far away tonight
Nothing here can touch you, nothing gives you fright
Close your eyes now, Danny, let the hush come near

[Chorus]
Danny, Danny, sleep is calling soft and slow
Close your eyes and let the quiet gently grow
You are held here, Danny, safer than you know
Rest your head and drift where all the dreams can go

[Bridge]
Nothing needs to happen now but breathing slow and deep
Nothing in this whole wide world but you and sleep

[Chorus]
Danny, Danny, sleep is calling soft and slow
Close your eyes and let the quiet gently grow
You are held here, Danny, safer than you know
Rest your head and drift where all the dreams can go

[Outro]
The wool coat will be waiting when the morning comes round again
And so will I, right here, until the light begins
