  Verse 1

  Orange lights are sliding soft across the wet glass tonight Every road we travel finds its way to rest You are held here safely, wrapped in amber light Nothing in the dark outside can touch what's best

  Chorus

  Amelie, the night is closing gentle round you now Close your eyes, I'm holding all your worry tamely Every mile of dark road leads back home somehow Sleep is calling softly, calling for Amelie

  Verse 2

  The wipers hum a rhythm slower than a heartbeat Streetlights blink like lanterns guiding you to sleep You don't have to wonder where the morning finds you I will keep the promise that I mean to keep

  Pre-chorus

  Rain is only rain, and dark is only dark Nothing here can follow past the window's frame So let the hush come nearer, let it leave its mark

  Chorus

  Amelie, the night is closing gentle round you now Close your eyes, I'm holding all your worry tamely Every mile of dark road leads back home somehow Sleep is calling softly, calling for Amelie

  Bridge

  You are loved beyond the counting of the lights we pass However far we drive, you're never far from me

  Chorus

  Amelie, the night is closing gentle round you now Close your eyes, I'm holding all your worry tamely Every mile of dark road leads back home somehow Sleep is calling softly, calling for Amelie

  Outro

  The orange light still glows across the quiet glass You are home now, and the whole night lets you rest

  Verse 1

  Little saucers hold their small warm light so gently wax easing down in circles soft and slow you are held the very same way completely safe inside a glow that will not go

  Pre-chorus

  Every flicker settles lower, sweeter, kinder hush is falling closer round the bed sleep is coming nearer, soft as embers

  Chorus

  Amelie, the night has you now, easy and warm close your eyes, the dark is only kind nothing here will ever bring you harm Amelie, my quiet heart, my peace of mind

  Verse 2

  Cotton wicks burn low and never hurry wax pools round them patient, round and true you can rest, there is no need to worry morning waits and it will wait for you

  Bridge

  Breathe out slow, let every worry loosen shadows only rock you, they don't stay dawn will find you soft as candle cushion

  Chorus

  Amelie, the night has you now, easy and warm close your eyes, the dark is only kind nothing here will ever bring you harm Amelie, my quiet heart, my peace of mind

  Outro

  Little saucers dim to nothing, warm and slowly sleep now, love, the light will always keep

  Verse 1

  Somewhere the soot comes tumbling gently down the old red flue Smoke curls up soft into a sky that's turning deep and blue And you are held here, warm and still, beneath this quiet roof Nothing tonight can touch the peace that's wrapped around you

  Pre-chorus

  The fire hums low and the whole house settles into sleep Every small sound outside has learned to keep its promise to be sweet So close your eyes, my darling, let the hush come rising deep

  Chorus

  Amelie, the night has come to hold you close and slow Chimney smoke won't drift so far, it always finds its way home You are loved here, simply, fully, never once tamely Amelie, the dark is only somewhere soft to go

  Verse 2

  Outside the frost is settling down on rooftops far and near But nothing cold can reach you now, there's nothing here to fear The brick stays warm, the ash lies still, the embers glow just so And you're the reason all this quiet gathers, soft and clear

  Chorus

  Amelie, the night has come to hold you close and slow Chimney smoke won't drift so far, it always finds its way home You are loved here, simply, fully, never once tamely Amelie, the dark is only somewhere soft to go

  Bridge

  Every ember dims but never truly goes away Just like the love that's watching over you till break of day

  Chorus

  Amelie, the night has come to hold you close and slow Chimney smoke won't drift so far, it always finds its way home You are loved here, simply, fully, never once tamely Amelie, the dark is only somewhere soft to go

  Outro

  The soot will settle, and the smoke will find its quiet rest Close your eyes now, little one, you always were the best
