  Verse 1

  Outside the glass is misting soft with the cold of the night But you are wrapped in blankets warm, held gentle and tight The window wears its silver beads, a slow and quiet rain While you drift further from the day and closer to your dreaming

  Chorus

  Agnes, the whole wide dark is holding still for you Every hush in this room is true, Agnes, so true Sleep now, the night has nothing it would ever take from you Agnes, you are the warmest thing this house has ever known

  Verse 2

  Somewhere the empty seats are cold where no one sits tonight But here your small warm breath is turning everything to light The frost can trace its patterns down the pane however it will You are the reason this whole house is finally lying still

  Pre-chorus

  Let your eyes grow heavy now, there's nowhere left to be No road, no chair, no window keeps a single thing from thee Only this soft falling down toward the place where dreaming waits for you

  Chorus

  Agnes, the whole wide dark is holding still for you Every hush in this room is true, Agnes, so true Sleep now, the night has nothing it would ever take from you Agnes, you are the warmest thing this house has ever known

  Bridge

  Let the glass keep its cold and its slow silver line You were never the frost, you were always the shine Rest now inside the warm you were always meant to find

  Chorus

  Agnes, the whole wide dark is holding still for you Every hush in this room is true, Agnes, so true Sleep now, the night has nothing it would ever take from you Agnes, you are the warmest thing this house has ever known

  Outro

  The window still runs quiet with its slow and silver rain But you are warm and far from it, and dreaming now, Agnes

  Verse 1

  Dust turns to gold where the light finds the doorway Soft as a hush, it comes drifting your way Nothing tonight can come nearer than this And you are the reason I linger and stay

  Pre-chorus

  Close now your eyes as the evening grows slower The house settles down and the dark gathers lower Rest in the warmth that is waiting so near

  Chorus

  Agnes, the light is still holding you softly Nothing can touch you, no shadow, no worry Deep in the hush where the quiet sits gently Agnes, my love, you are safe here with me

  Verse 2

  The beam through the door grows so slender and quiet Like breath going out with the end of the day light Still it will find you wherever you drift Long after footsteps have faded from sight

  Bridge

  Sleep is a room with the door standing open Gold at the edges, and nothing to fear there

  Chorus

  Agnes, the light is still holding you softly Nothing can touch you, no shadow, no worry Deep in the hush where the quiet sits gently Agnes, my love, you are safe here with me

  Outro

  Sleep now, the dust settles soft on the floorboards Gold in the doorway will wait till the morning

  Verse 1

  The keys hang quiet on their little brass hook tonight The radiator clicks and settles, easing down to rest Every small sound in this room is turning soft and slight And you are the warmest, safest thing here, held and blessed

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the ticking hush you slow Nothing needs to move again till morning comes to call So let the whole wide house grow still and let it go

  Chorus

  Agnes, the night is folding soft around your bed Nothing can reach you here, no shadow, no alarm You are the calm the whole house leans its weight upon Agnes, sleep deep, you're held, you're safe, you're warm

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a kettle cools and settles into silence too The hallway light goes low, the whole world dims its hum And even in the dark I'm always here with you No need to keep your eyes from closing, sleep can come

  Bridge

  Rest now, let the hours turn without a sound Everything you need is already found

  Chorus

  Agnes, the night is folding soft around your bed Nothing can reach you here, no shadow, no alarm You are the calm the whole house leans its weight upon Agnes, sleep deep, you're held, you're safe, you're warm

  Outro

  The hook still holds the keys, the house has gone to rest Sleep now, little one, you're safe, you're loved, you're blessed
