[Verse 1]
Orange light is sliding gently over where you rest your head
Every lamp we pass is leaving softly as it came and went
You are held so close and steady while the whole world softly flows
Nothing out there matters more than you asleep instead

[Chorus]
Primrose, close your eyes now, let the night keep watch a while
Somewhere warm is waiting just behind that sleepy smile
You are carried safely through the dark however far it goes
Rest now, little Primrose, morning waits in a while

[Verse 2]
Windows hum a quiet tune that only you can hear tonight
Shadows move so slowly they forget to make a sound
You are wrapped in something soft that never loosens or unwinds
Safe as anything that ever settled on the ground

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the lights outside are dimming one by one
Nothing needs an answer, nothing needs to be undone
Sleep is coming closer, soft as breathing, soft as home

[Chorus]
Primrose, close your eyes now, let the night keep watch a while
Somewhere warm is waiting just behind that sleepy smile
You are carried safely through the dark however far it goes
Rest now, little Primrose, morning waits in a while

[Bridge]
Every light that passes leaves a little gold behind
You are loved beyond whatever words could ever find

[Chorus]
Primrose, close your eyes now, let the night keep watch a while
Somewhere warm is waiting just behind that sleepy smile
You are carried safely through the dark however far it goes
Rest now, little Primrose, morning waits in a while

[Outro]
The last light slides across the glass and settles into gold
You are safe inside this quiet, held and warm and whole
