  Verse 1

  Somewhere a curtain lifts and settles without a sound White cotton breathing slowly while the dark comes round You are the calm this whole house has been keeping safe Curled up so quiet in your small and perfect space

  Chorus

  Abigail, the night is soft and leaning near you now Sleep is a promise that this world will keep somehow Close your eyes, Abigail, and let the hours sail Nothing in the dark tonight will ever let you fail

  Verse 2

  Warm air moves the fabric like a hand that means no harm Wrapping round the room the way I wrap you in my arm You are held here tighter than the window holds its frame Loved beyond the reach of any words I have to name

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the breathing of the room grow long and slow Every little worry has permission now to go Something soft is waiting just before you drift and know

  Chorus

  Abigail, the night is soft and leaning near you now Sleep is a promise that this world will keep somehow Close your eyes, Abigail, and let the hours sail Nothing in the dark tonight will ever let you fail

  Bridge

  Let the small white edges of the curtain drift and sway Carrying the last light of a gentle, ending day You are safer than a candle sheltered from the breeze Held here soft and certain as the dark begins to ease

  Chorus

  Abigail, the night is soft and leaning near you now Sleep is a promise that this world will keep somehow Close your eyes, Abigail, and let the hours sail Nothing in the dark tonight will ever let you fail

  Outro

  Sleep now, while the cotton settles still against the frame I will still be here to say your gentle, quiet name

  Verse 1

  Wheels have stopped turning under the low branches now dry pine needles hold the quiet of the night nothing here is asking you to wonder how the dark can be so soft and still and right

  Chorus

  Abigail, the world has folded down to just this room close your eyes and let the hours grow slow you are held here safer than a seed inside its bloom and there is nowhere calmer you could go

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window all the paths have gone to rest leather worn and softened by a thousand gentle days you don't need a single answer, you are simply blessed to drift beneath the branches in a warm and settled haze

  Pre-chorus

  Let your breathing find the rhythm of the dark hear how everything has quieted to care sleep is only love with all the lights turned low

  Chorus

  Abigail, the world has folded down to just this room close your eyes and let the hours grow slow you are held here safer than a seed inside its bloom and there is nowhere calmer you could go

  Bridge

  No wheel needs to turn, no path tonight demands your feet you can rest exactly where you are, complete

  Chorus

  Abigail, the world has folded down to just this room close your eyes and let the hours grow slow you are held here safer than a seed inside its bloom and there is nowhere calmer you could go

  Outro

  Rest now underneath the low and steady branches you are already home, however far you go

  Verse 1

  Something old and steady keeps its watch beside your bed Nothing in this room will ever move or rush ahead Deep inside the dark a patient stillness holds its place You are safe beneath the hush that settles overhead

  Chorus

  Abigail, the night has folded soft around your name Every hour is holding you as gently as a flame You are held the way old brass is held in polished wood Abigail, my love for you will never dim or change

  Verse 2

  Somewhere in the dark a weight hangs quiet, never swinging Time itself has paused to hear the small breath that you're bringing Nothing has to happen now, no reason to be moving Rest inside the calm that this whole night is slowly singing

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the ticking of the world go still Let the hush wrap round you softer than a windowsill Something warm is watching over every breath until

  Chorus

  Abigail, the night has folded soft around your name Every hour is holding you as gently as a flame You are held the way old brass is held in polished wood Abigail, my love for you will never dim or change

  Bridge

  No need to keep the count of minutes passing by Nothing here will hurry you, no reason to ask why Just rest inside the quiet that was made to hold you tight

  Chorus

  Abigail, the night has folded soft around your name Every hour is holding you as gently as a flame You are held the way old brass is held in polished wood Abigail, my love for you will never dim or change

  Outro

  Somewhere still and dark, something steady holds its place Sleep now, love, held safe as brass, wrapped in the night's embrace
