  Verse 1

  The night has gone soft round the edges of the road and the lights slide by slow like a lullaby of gold you're wrapped in your blanket, tucked in tight against the cold and every mile that passes is a story yet untold

  Close your eyes now, let the humming carry you along nothing in this whole wide world can do you any wrong you're held so close and steady, safe as any song can be

  Chorus

  Alfie, Alfie, rest your head down low you are the warmest thing that this heart will ever know the dark outside is gentle, it will let you drift and go and Alfie, you are loved here more than you could ever know

  Verse 2

  The world can wait till morning, it has nowhere else to be just you and this small blanket and the hum of quiet keeping no need to fight the sleep now, let it fall so easily for you are safe as harbours while the whole wide night is sleeping

  Chorus

  Alfie, Alfie, rest your head down low you are the warmest thing that this heart will ever know the dark outside is gentle, it will let you drift and go and Alfie, you are loved here more than you could ever know

  Bridge

  Every road tonight is leading somewhere soft and warm you are held through every mile, through every kind of storm

  Chorus

  Alfie, Alfie, rest your head down low you are the warmest thing that this heart will ever know the dark outside is gentle, it will let you drift and go and Alfie, you are loved here more than you could ever know

  Verse 1

  The night bus hums along the empty road so slow With one small passenger who nods in golden lamplight glow You lean against the window, breathing soft and deep And every mile that passes carries you toward sleep

  Pre-chorus

  The city lights go sliding past like stars brought low Nobody wakes you, nobody asks you where you go You're carried on and held, and closer now to home

  Chorus

  Alfie, the whole wide world can wait outside tonight You are the reason lamps still burn so warm and bright Rest easy now, there's nothing here that you should fear Alfie, I'm right beside you, always near

  Verse 2

  Somewhere behind us all the noise begins to fade away And nothing in the dark can touch you where you lay You curl up small and warm against the corner seat While outside every streetlight nods to you, my sweet

  Pre-chorus

  The city lights go sliding past like stars brought low Nobody wakes you, nobody asks you where you go You're carried on and held, and closer now to home

  Chorus

  Alfie, the whole wide world can wait outside tonight You are the reason lamps still burn so warm and bright Rest easy now, there's nothing here that you should fear Alfie, I'm right beside you, always near

  Bridge

  Whatever road you travel, however far you roam This heart will be your shelter, this heart will be your home

  Chorus

  Alfie, the whole wide world can wait outside tonight You are the reason lamps still burn so warm and bright Rest easy now, there's nothing here that you should fear Alfie, I'm right beside you, always near

  Outro

  The bus rolls on through midnight, gentle as a lullaby And you are held here safely till the morning sky

  Verse 1

  The rain is tapping soft against the window by your bed and your little toy is watching from its perch upon the sill nobody minds the weather when the fire burns so low Alfie, you are warmer than the softest blanket spread

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the raindrops count you slowly down let every worry drift away and settle like the dusk because there's nothing waiting out there that could touch you now

  Chorus

  Alfie, Alfie, hush now, let the dark be kind you are held here safer than a secret you could find rain will sing its quiet song until the morning comes and Alfie, you're the sweetest thought that ever crossed my mind

  Verse 2

  The toy upon the sill has seen a hundred nights like this and every single one of them has ended soft and warm you don't need to watch the window, you can let it go there's nothing in the weather that could ever do you harm

  Bridge

  Somewhere past the glass the whole wide world is turning slow but here inside these walls it's only you I'm thinking of

  Chorus

  Alfie, Alfie, hush now, let the dark be kind you are held here safer than a secret you could find rain will sing its quiet song until the morning comes and Alfie, you're the sweetest thought that ever crossed my mind

  Outro

  Sleep now, and the little toy will keep the watch tonight rain will hush the window till you wake to morning light
