  Verse 1

  The fire is easing down to a soft grey rest tonight Warm little embers are letting go of their light You are curled up safe where the quiet begins to grow Nothing can reach you here, so let your breathing go slow

  Chorus

  Abel, the house is hushed and the world outside is still Sleep is a gentle field and you're free to roam it at will Nobody's calling you back, there's nowhere you have to be Abel, just rest right here in the arms that are holding thee

  Verse 2

  Ash settles soft in the grate like snow lying down to stay Quiet has covered the room in its own careful way You don't need to hold on to a single thing but this warmth Sleep is already folding its wings gently around your form

  Pre-chorus

  Feel how the last of the light is turning to smoke and rest Nothing is asking for more than what you already possess Close your eyes now, love is still glowing beneath your chest

  Chorus

  Abel, the house is hushed and the world outside is still Sleep is a gentle field and you're free to roam it at will Nobody's calling you back, there's nowhere you have to be Abel, just rest right here in the arms that are holding thee

  Bridge

  Even the fire has learned how to let its brightness fade Softly, without any fear, it just settles into shade You can do the same now, safe beneath this quiet weight

  Chorus

  Abel, the house is hushed and the world outside is still Sleep is a gentle field and you're free to roam it at will Nobody's calling you back, there's nowhere you have to be Abel, just rest right here in the arms that are holding thee

  Outro

  Grey ash is settling soft where the warm fire used to be Sleep now, Abel, still held, still warm, still safe with me

  Verse 1

  The wool fringe falls soft over corduroy knees tonight Trailing down slow like the hush before the last light dims You curl in close where the lamp burns low and warm I hold what's small and it steadies me like nothing else has

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere a clock is folding the hours down to none Your breathing slows to match the turning of the dark And I lean in to catch the last small sound

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Abel, the night has room for you Steady as a table, safe as any stable You are held here, Abel, closer than a cable Nothing in the dark tonight will ever touch you

  Verse 2

  The fringe drifts still now, worn soft from other nights like this one Every thread of it has learned the shape of you by heart Your small hand finds mine without needing to look for it I could stay right here and never once think to leave

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere a clock is folding the hours down to none Your breathing slows to match the turning of the dark And I lean in to catch the last small sound

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Abel, the night has room for you Steady as a table, safe as any stable You are held here, Abel, closer than a cable Nothing in the dark tonight will ever touch you

  Bridge

  Rest your whole weight down, there is nowhere you must be No one else could ever matter more than you do now

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Abel, the night has room for you Steady as a table, safe as any stable You are held here, Abel, closer than a cable Nothing in the dark tonight will ever touch you

  Outro

  The wool fringe settles still across your quiet knees Sleep on, small one, you are already so deeply loved

  Verse 1

  Frost is climbing quiet on the window by your cheek warm little glow keeps watch while the world turns still nothing out there can reach you now you're wrapped up safe where the cold can't speak

  Pre-chorus

  Close those eyes, let the hum carry you slower every mile grows softer as the dark leans in and I'm right here beside you, holding steady

  Chorus

  Abel, sleep is coming gentle as the light behind the frost hush now, Abel, nothing here is ever lost you are the warmest thing in this whole night little Abel, safe is not a thing you have to ask for

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the glass the stars are keeping time with you engines hum a tune too low for waking ears you don't need to know the way tonight I've got the road, I've got you, and that will do

  Chorus

  Abel, sleep is coming gentle as the light behind the frost hush now, Abel, nothing here is ever lost you are the warmest thing in this whole night little Abel, safe is not a thing you have to ask for

  Bridge

  Rest your head, let the hours go soft and slow you are loved past anything the dark can hold

  Chorus

  Abel, sleep is coming gentle as the light behind the frost hush now, Abel, nothing here is ever lost you are the warmest thing in this whole night little Abel, safe is not a thing you have to ask for

  Outro

  Sleep now, while the amber glow keeps burning low and kind you are held in light long after I turn mine down
