  Verse 1

  A heavy brass key turns soft in the door tonight Locking the dark outside and holding you in the light The wind can knock but it never gets past the frame You rest inside a house that always knows your name

  Pre-chorus

  Every latch is closed, every corner still and low The lamp above the door leans down to watch you glow Sleep is close now, drifting in soft and slow

  Chorus

  Andrew, the light turns round and finds you here Safe in the turning beam, nothing to fear Andrew, the key is turned, the night is kind Rest in the glow that was always yours to find

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a tower stands with its window round and warm Watching for little boats caught out in the storm But you are not lost, you are folded in tight Wrapped in the hush of a slow and steady night

  Pre-chorus

  Every latch is closed, every corner still and low The lamp above the door leans down to watch you glow Sleep is close now, drifting in soft and slow

  Chorus

  Andrew, the light turns round and finds you here Safe in the turning beam, nothing to fear Andrew, the key is turned, the night is kind Rest in the glow that was always yours to find

  Bridge

  No storm can find the room where you lie still No tide can climb so high, no wind so shrill You are the reason the whole house stays awake and warm

  Chorus

  Andrew, the light turns round and finds you here Safe in the turning beam, nothing to fear Andrew, the key is turned, the night is kind Rest in the glow that was always yours to find

  Outro

  The key stays turned, the door stays warm and still Sleep now, Andrew, safe upon the sill

  Verse 1

  The wooden radio hums so low it could almost be breathing Somewhere past the dial the whole house has gone soft and still Nothing but a hush caught between the wire and the evening Andrew, close your eyes now, nobody will let you spill

  Pre-chorus

  The static folds down small like a blanket pulled to your chin Every crackle fading slower, sinking further under your skin Hold on to the hum, love, let it carry you within

  Chorus

  Andrew, the night is only holding you, nothing more Soft as the sound that drifts in gently under the door Andrew, you are the warmest thing this house has ever known Sleep now, you are never once left in the dark alone

  Verse 2

  A little gold light glows behind the fabric of the speaker Like something small and steady that has no plans to go out Andrew, the whole wide world has gone quiet and much weaker While you are wrapped up here, past worry, past doubt

  Pre-chorus

  The static folds down small like a blanket pulled to your chin Every crackle fading slower, sinking further under your skin Hold on to the hum, love, let it carry you within

  Chorus

  Andrew, the night is only holding you, nothing more Soft as the sound that drifts in gently under the door Andrew, you are the warmest thing this house has ever known Sleep now, you are never once left in the dark alone

  Bridge

  Let every worn out sound become a hand upon your hair Andrew, you are so deeply loved, so gently kept with care

  Chorus

  Andrew, the night is only holding you, nothing more Soft as the sound that drifts in gently under the door Andrew, you are the warmest thing this house has ever known Sleep now, you are never once left in the dark alone

  Outro

  The radio hums on low, keeping watch while you rest Andrew, you are the softest sound of all, and the best

  Verse 1

  Somewhere the garden is growing heavy and still with dew Every leaf bending low beneath the weight it holds Nothing is rushing tonight, love, only you Wrapped up warm while the dark turns soft and slow

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the hours grow quiet around you Nothing tonight is asking you to be anything but small Rest here a while, let the whole wide world slow down too

  Chorus

  Andrew, sleep now, the night is holding you gently Nothing can reach you, nothing can do you harm Deep in the hush where the dew falls softly, Andrew You are the warmth at the centre of this calm

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a window is catching the last of the light Somewhere the grass is turning silver and cool You are the reason this whole quiet night feels right Held here so gently, never a thing to prove

  Bridge

  Let every worry fall away like water off a leaf Nothing but rest now, nothing but breath and peace

  Chorus

  Andrew, sleep now, the night is holding you gently Nothing can reach you, nothing can do you harm Deep in the hush where the dew falls softly, Andrew You are the warmth at the centre of this calm

  Outro

  Somewhere the garden keeps gathering dew in the dark Sleep now, my Andrew, you are safe in this hush
