  Verse 1

  A soft fringe of wool drags slow across the floor tonight Trailing behind you like a hush that wants to stay Every small sound in this room is turning gentle in the light And I am watching over you the whole and easy way

  Chorus

  Albie, Albie, let the day float off your chest Close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you along You are held here, Albie, safer than you've ever guessed Nothing in the dark tonight can do you any wrong

  Verse 2

  The blanket's edge is combing lines across the polished ground Slow as breathing, slow as everything should be There is nowhere you should hurry to, no reason to be found Just this room, this warmth, this quiet holding you and me

  Pre-chorus

  Your small hand is loosening, your breathing settles low The night is only kindness now, it isn't going anywhere So let your worries empty out and let the stillness grow

  Chorus

  Albie, Albie, let the day float off your chest Close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you along You are held here, Albie, safer than you've ever guessed Nothing in the dark tonight can do you any wrong

  Bridge

  Sleep is only love wearing its softest, quietest coat You are wanted here, and wanted is enough to keep you warm

  Chorus

  Albie, Albie, let the day float off your chest Close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you along You are held here, Albie, safer than you've ever guessed Nothing in the dark tonight can do you any wrong

  Outro

  Somewhere the wool fringe rests now, still against the floor And you are resting too, held here, needing nothing more

  Verse 1

  Cream linen lifts and settles soft against the frame tonight and somewhere in that quiet breath you're held and feel alright warm air comes drifting slow across the room where you now lie so let your busy little day go drifting on and by

  Pre-chorus

  Close now those heavy eyes and let the humming start feel how the whole wide house is wrapped around your heart and sleep is only waiting just a breath or two away

  Chorus

  Albie, Albie, hush now, let the dark be kind drift now, little dreamer, leave the day behind nothing in this soft room ever meant you harm Albie, you are held here, safe and always warm

  Verse 2

  Out beyond the window all the stars are settling too every quiet corner of this house belongs to you nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to rush or climb rest now in the gentle turning of the night time

  Bridge

  Should the wind come calling soft against the pane know you're loved the same in sun as you're loved in rain nothing out there in the dark can ever reach this bed

  Chorus

  Albie, Albie, hush now, let the dark be kind drift now, little dreamer, leave the day behind nothing in this soft room ever meant you harm Albie, you are held here, safe and always warm

  Outro

  Let the curtain settle soft against the open frame sleep now, little Albie, loved and always safe the same

  Verse 1

  The rain is drawing rivers down the window by your seat and the dashboard glows a soft and gentle orange hue everything outside is wet and hurried, dark and fleet but nothing in this moving world can ever trouble you

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and feel the engine humming low and slow let the wipers count the seconds as the wet road passes by you are held so close and nothing here will let you go

  Chorus

  Albie, the night is soft around you now the rain outside is only rain, it cannot reach this glow you are the warmest thing in this whole quiet town sleep, little Albie, there is nowhere safe to go

  Verse 2

  Somewhere far the thunder mutters but it stays outside the glass every drop that hits the window slides away and disappears you are wrapped in warmth so steady that the moments pass and there is nothing in this dark that you should ever fear

  Bridge

  Let the light stay low and orange, let the rain keep falling soft you are carried, you are certain, you are never lost

  Chorus

  Albie, the night is soft around you now the rain outside is only rain, it cannot reach this glow you are the warmest thing in this whole quiet town sleep, little Albie, there is nowhere safe to go

  Outro

  The rain will keep on falling soft against the glass tonight and you will keep on sleeping in the warm and steady light
