  Verse 1

  A yellow beam slides slowly across the ceiling tonight curtains breathe it in and let it go soft and slight nothing out there means you any harm at all the dark is only a blanket, wide and small

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the quiet hold what it can every small sound settling into a gentler plan the night is leaning down to learn your name

  Chorus

  Alison, the light is moving soft and slow above you Alison, there's nothing in this dark that doesn't love you rest inside the hush that's wrapping you in warm and one sleep now, Alison, the whole wide night has just begun

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window cars are drifting home to rest every beam that passes seems to check that you're still blessed the walls remember every song that's ever calmed your head so let them hum you gently, gently, into bed

  Chorus

  Alison, the light is moving soft and slow above you Alison, there's nothing in this dark that doesn't love you rest inside the hush that's wrapping you in warm and one sleep now, Alison, the whole wide night has just begun

  Bridge

  Nobody is far while this small room is standing still every shadow bends around you, gentle as it will you are held here tighter than the dark could ever try

  Chorus

  Alison, the light is moving soft and slow above you Alison, there's nothing in this dark that doesn't love you rest inside the hush that's wrapping you in warm and one sleep now, Alison, the whole wide night has just begun

  Outro

  The last light slips across the ceiling, softer than before sleep now, Alison, there's nothing waiting at the door

  Verse 1

  The white curtain lifts and settles by the small metal rail Like a breath the whole room takes and lets go without fail Nothing here will ever hurry, nothing here will ever run Close your eyes and drift beside it, let the quiet come

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere past the window the whole wide dark is turning Slow and low the house breathes with you, softly burning Down into a hush where all the wanting comes undone

  Chorus

  Alison, the night is kind and folds around you like a song Nothing out there means you harm, nothing here has ever gone wrong You are held here closer than the curtain to the rail Alison, I'll stay till morning, however long

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a small rail holds the muslin like a hand holds on Watch it drift and never worry, it will not be gone Every little sway is gentle, nothing sharp, nothing loud You are wrapped in something softer than any passing cloud

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere past the window the whole wide dark is turning Slow and low the house breathes with you, softly burning Down into a hush where all the wanting comes undone

  Chorus

  Alison, the night is kind and folds around you like a song Nothing out there means you harm, nothing here has ever gone wrong You are held here closer than the curtain to the rail Alison, I'll stay till morning, however long

  Bridge

  Let the small room turn to nothing but your breathing and my own However far the dark goes, you are never once alone

  Chorus

  Alison, the night is kind and folds around you like a song Nothing out there means you harm, nothing here has ever gone wrong You are held here closer than the curtain to the rail Alison, I'll stay till morning, however long

  Outro

  The curtain settles still now by the small and quiet rail Sleep on, Alison, I'm watching, and I will not fail

  Verse 1

  A small orange dial is glowing soft on the wood tonight Circling round in a hush of amber, gentle and slow You are curled where the warmth is pooling, wrapped in that light There is nowhere as safe as this small and quiet glow

  Pre-chorus

  Let the hum of the house grow softer, let your eyes fall closed Every worry can wait till morning, folded away for now The dark is only a blanket, gathering close

  Chorus

  Alison, the light is low and the night has just begun Nothing here can touch you, nothing needs to be undone Sleep is coming gentle, Alison, like a rising sun Rest inside the quiet now, you precious, steady one

  Verse 2

  The dial keeps its circle turning slow above the grain Warm as embers settling deep inside an old, kind fire You are held here safer than a name could ever explain Sleep is just the hush that follows all your heart's desire

  Chorus

  Alison, the light is low and the night has just begun Nothing here can touch you, nothing needs to be undone Sleep is coming gentle, Alison, like a rising sun Rest inside the quiet now, you precious, steady one

  Bridge

  Somewhere past the window the whole wide world is still Nothing in the shadows means you any harm at all Every breath you're taking is a small and steady thrill Sleep will come to carry you and catch you if you fall

  Chorus

  Alison, the light is low and the night has just begun Nothing here can touch you, nothing needs to be undone Sleep is coming gentle, Alison, like a rising sun Rest inside the quiet now, you precious, steady one

  Outro

  The dial dims to nothing as the room grows soft and grey Sleep now, little Alison, the warmth will always stay
