  Verse 1

  The wool fringe sways so softly where it brushes against your toes and the footstool holds you steady while the evening settles slow every worry of the daylight has gone wherever daylight goes you are wrapped in something gentle that only quiet knows

  Chorus

  Amir, the night is soft and it is only asking you to rest close your eyes now, Amir, you have nothing left to prove or test the dark outside is kind tonight, it means you only good and you are loved here, always, exactly as you should

  Verse 2

  Somewhere near your feet the fringe is still and finally at ease and the house breathes slower now, it settles like a gentle breeze every little sound out there has folded into peace you can let your whole heart loosen, you can let it all release

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the evening hold you closer than before let the warmth around your shoulders be the only thing you need and drift toward whatever waits behind that quiet door

  Chorus

  Amir, the night is soft and it is only asking you to rest close your eyes now, Amir, you have nothing left to prove or test the dark outside is kind tonight, it means you only good and you are loved here, always, exactly as you should

  Bridge

  Nothing here will hurry you, no clock is counting time every breath you take tonight is fully, simply yours

  Chorus

  Amir, the night is soft and it is only asking you to rest close your eyes now, Amir, you have nothing left to prove or test the dark outside is kind tonight, it means you only good and you are loved here, always, exactly as you should

  Outro

  The fringe lies still against your slippers, resting just like you sleep now, dear Amir, the whole soft night belongs to you

  Verse 1

  The river has finished its long day of turning Every ripple has gone soft and stopped its churning Somewhere a small boat has come home to rest Just like you, my love, with the lamp light burning

  Pre-chorus

  Lay your head down where the water grows still Let the dark be gentle, let it ask nothing until Morning comes calling soft over the hill

  Chorus

  Amir, the night is holding you so near Nothing in the dark has any cause for fear Rest now like the oar against the skiff Amir, I am here, and you are dear

  Verse 2

  The oar does not wonder where the current went It leans on the wood, it is glad and it is spent You can lay your worries down beside the door There is nowhere left tonight that you are meant

  Pre-chorus

  Lay your head down where the water grows still Let the dark be gentle, let it ask nothing until Morning comes calling soft over the hill

  Chorus

  Amir, the night is holding you so near Nothing in the dark has any cause for fear Rest now like the oar against the skiff Amir, I am here, and you are dear

  Bridge

  No further to row, no far shore to reach Only this stillness, only this quiet beach You are the reason the whole night feels so near

  Chorus

  Amir, the night is holding you so near Nothing in the dark has any cause for fear Rest now like the oar against the skiff Amir, I am here, and you are dear

  Outro

  Sleep now the way the oar rests against the side Held here so gently, drifting on the tide

  Verse 1

  Grey feathers are settling soft on the old fence post Down where the frost has silvered every rail and seam And you are as light and as wanted as the feathers are Drifting to rest in the hush of this small evening

  Pre-chorus

  The cold stays outside where it cannot reach you here Everything wild has gone quiet and laid its head down So let your eyes close, Amir, while the dark turns kind

  Chorus

  Amir, you are held here, warm and unhurried and near Nothing tonight needs your worry, nothing needs your fear Sleep is a blanket woven soft, so soft, my dear Amir, you are loved past the reach of any year

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a branch lets go of one more feather tonight And it falls without hurry, sure that the ground will hold You can let go the same way, safe inside this quiet Nothing you carry tonight is too heavy or too bold

  Chorus

  Amir, you are held here, warm and unhurried and near Nothing tonight needs your worry, nothing needs your fear Sleep is a blanket woven soft, so soft, my dear Amir, you are loved past the reach of any year

  Bridge

  Every small thing settles when the night grows still and slow The fence, the frost, the feathers, and you, drifting soft and low

  Chorus

  Amir, you are held here, warm and unhurried and near Nothing tonight needs your worry, nothing needs your fear Sleep is a blanket woven soft, so soft, my dear Amir, you are loved past the reach of any year

  Outro

  The fence post holds its feathers till the morning comes round soft And I will hold you closer than the frost holds on to dawn
