  Verse 1

  A thread of yellow light lies under the wooden door tonight Soft as a hush, it stays there low and bright Nothing can reach you here, curled up so small You are held so gently, wrapped in warm and right

  Pre-chorus

  The corridor is quiet now, the whole house breathing slow Every little sound has somewhere safe to go And the dark outside can never touch you, waiting so

  Chorus

  Amanda, close your eyes, the night is soft and kind There is nowhere calmer than this quiet you will find Amanda, you are loved more than the whole wide sky So let the yellow light stay glowing in your mind

  Verse 2

  The house settles slowly like a boat upon still water Every wall around you leans in close to guard you Sleep is only drifting into arms that will not let go Nothing in the shadows has the power to harm you

  Pre-chorus

  The corridor is quiet now, the whole house breathing slow Every little sound has somewhere safe to go And the dark outside can never touch you, waiting so

  Chorus

  Amanda, close your eyes, the night is soft and kind There is nowhere calmer than this quiet you will find Amanda, you are loved more than the whole wide sky So let the yellow light stay glowing in your mind

  Bridge

  Somewhere near, a hand is always ready to hold you steady Even in your dreaming you are never left alone

  Chorus

  Amanda, close your eyes, the night is soft and kind There is nowhere calmer than this quiet you will find Amanda, you are loved more than the whole wide sky So let the yellow light stay glowing in your mind

  Outro

  The light beneath the door will still be burning when you wake Sleep now, love is standing watch for your sake

  Verse 1

  Somewhere the dust is turning slow along the banister rail Catching the last little bit of light before it goes away You are the reason the whole house softens to a whisper trail I will stay near while the shadows settle down to stay

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the hallway has folded itself into night Every small sound has grown gentle and slow Close your eyes, let go of the light

  Chorus

  Amanda, the dark is only resting, nothing to fear Somewhere a lullaby hums soft as a hand on your back Amanda, I promise the morning will find you still here Sleep now, there's nothing this house or this night could ever lack

  Verse 2

  The landing keeps its quiet like a secret it loves to hold Dust motes drifting slower than any thought could ever go You are warmer than every story that this house has ever told I will watch till your breathing turns soft and slow

  Chorus

  Amanda, the dark is only resting, nothing to fear Somewhere a lullaby hums soft as a hand on your back Amanda, I promise the morning will find you still here Sleep now, there's nothing this house or this night could ever lack

  Bridge

  Even the dust knows how to fall so gently down Even the dark can hold you soft as any crown

  Chorus

  Amanda, the dark is only resting, nothing to fear Somewhere a lullaby hums soft as a hand on your back Amanda, I promise the morning will find you still here Sleep now, there's nothing this house or this night could ever lack

  Outro

  The dust will still be turning slow when the morning comes to call And you will still be loved the same, the truest thing of all

  Verse 1

  White curtains move so slowly against the metal bars tonight Every breath you take is settling soft and low You are held here safer than you'll ever know Nothing in this quiet room can touch you, only love can grow

  Pre-chorus

  The window breathes a little, and the dark begins to bend Close your eyes and let the whole wide world go still There is nowhere safer than this moment we're in

  Chorus

  Amanda, the night is only holding you asleep Somewhere soft the wind is calling out your name Amanda, there is nothing here to keep you from your dreams Rest now, you are loved beyond the edges of this frame

  Verse 2

  The bars are cool and quiet, but you are warm as anything Your small hands are curling round the edges of the day Sleep is just another way of saying I will stay Nothing in this house will ever let you drift away

  Chorus

  Amanda, the night is only holding you asleep Somewhere soft the wind is calling out your name Amanda, there is nothing here to keep you from your dreams Rest now, you are loved beyond the edges of this frame

  Bridge

  Let the curtain sway you gently into somewhere kind and slow You are cradled here by everything that loves you so

  Chorus

  Amanda, the night is only holding you asleep Somewhere soft the wind is calling out your name Amanda, there is nothing here to keep you from your dreams Rest now, you are loved beyond the edges of this frame

  Outro

  White curtains still are moving soft against the quiet bars Sleep now, you are held beneath a house of gentle stars
