  Verse 1

  Fat flakes are sticking soft against the window pane tonight the floorboards give their quiet little creaks and settle right and nothing in this house would ever dream of causing harm so let the falling snow be the last thing that you see

  Pre-chorus

  The whole wide world has slowed its breathing down to match your own the dark outside is gentle and it means you no alarm so rest against the warmth that only holds you close and calm

  Chorus

  Ann, the night is soft and you are safe within my span sleep now, little Ann, beneath the hush of my own plan nothing here will wake you, nothing here will ever harm for as long as I am near you, dear one, sleep, my Ann

  Verse 2

  The shadows on the ceiling only rock you like a boat somewhere far the wind is singing you a hum so low you are wrapped in every kindness I could ever hope to show and I will stay right here to watch the whole night through

  Chorus

  Ann, the night is soft and you are safe within my span sleep now, little Ann, beneath the hush of my own plan nothing here will wake you, nothing here will ever harm for as long as I am near you, dear one, sleep, my Ann

  Bridge

  Let the glass go white and quiet while you drift away from me hold this warmth inside you like a promise you began

  Chorus

  Ann, the night is soft and you are safe within my span sleep now, little Ann, beneath the hush of my own plan nothing here will wake you, nothing here will ever harm for as long as I am near you, dear one, sleep, my Ann

  Outro

  Let the flakes keep falling soft against the glass till dawn you are held and you are loved, and morning comes along

  Verse 1

  Soot comes tumbling soft down the old red brick flue tonight and somewhere above us the floorboards creak and settle too every small sound in this house is only the house breathing slow and none of it, none of it, ever comes looking for you

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the whole house hush around you nothing tonight is going to ask you to be brave just the dark going soft as it folds its wings above you

  Chorus

  Ann, the night has nowhere it needs you to be you can rest here as long as you want to stay every corner of this dark belongs to Ann tonight and I will keep the morning waiting till you wake

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a chimney sighs and lets its small ash fall like the day letting go of everything it carried you don't have to hold onto anything at all just the warm and the quiet, and how well you are guarded

  Bridge

  Let the last light go out slow, there's no rush in it the house will still be standing when the morning comes

  Chorus

  Ann, the night has nowhere it needs you to be you can rest here as long as you want to stay every corner of this dark belongs to Ann tonight and I will keep the morning waiting till you wake

  Outro

  Somewhere the soot has settled soft along the old flue and you are settling too, warm and safe and through

  Verse 1

  Lamplight is catching the down in your blanket tonight Turning the feathers to gold in the low honest light You are the calm at the end of the day's little span Curled up so soft, little breathing thing, quietly Ann

  Pre-chorus

  The house settles low and the wind lets its worry go Shadows are gentle, they move slow and soft and slow Close now your eyes while the warmth starts to grow

  Chorus

  Ann, you are held here as safe as a heart can be Nothing will trouble this quiet you're wrapped in, Ann, you'll see Sleep is a river and you are the boat that it holds Ann, you are loved more than any small song has told

  Verse 2

  Somewhere the night wraps its arms round the birds in the eaves Softer than anything, quieter than falling leaves You are the warmest thing under this low golden light Small steady heartbeat that carries us through the night

  Bridge

  Nothing can reach you where sleep likes to keep you Nothing will wake you, this hour belongs to you

  Chorus

  Ann, you are held here as safe as a heart can be Nothing will trouble this quiet you're wrapped in, Ann, you'll see Sleep is a river and you are the boat that it holds Ann, you are loved more than any small song has told

  Outro

  Let the gold light fade soft as feathers pressed still and slow Sleep now, little Ann, everything gentle, everything low
