  Verse 1

  The wool blanket trails soft across the wooden floor tonight Rocking slow while the whole house settles into rest Every worry of the day is folded out of sight You are held here safer than a bird within its nest

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the rocking chair keep time with your slow breath Nothing in this quiet room can reach you here at all Close your eyes, love, and drift where the soft dark rests

  Chorus

  Annie, Annie, the night is warm and low Nothing in this world will let you go Sleep now, Annie, let the darkness slow You are cherished more than you could ever know

  Verse 2

  The candle by the window burns down easy, burns down slow Watching over you the way it always will Somewhere past the curtains soft winds start to blow But here inside your breathing keeps so still

  Bridge

  You are the calm at the end of every day No storm can find you tucked away like this Every little sigh you make will drift and fade Wrapped up warm in arms that never miss

  Chorus

  Annie, Annie, the night is warm and low Nothing in this world will let you go Sleep now, Annie, let the darkness slow You are cherished more than you could ever know

  Outro

  The blanket rests beside the chair, its work all done for now You are safe and dreaming, held here, always somehow

  Verse 1

  The little fire is settling low behind the bars tonight Grey ash is falling gently like the softest kind of light There's nothing in this room that means you any harm You're wrapped in more than blankets, you are wrapped in warm

  Pre-chorus

  Every ember dims a little as the hour grows late Nothing in the dark tonight is something you should wait for Close your eyes and let the quiet come and find you

  Chorus

  Annie, Annie, the night is soft and slow Everything you need to know is you are loved, and so Sleep can come now, easy, with nothing left to fear Annie, hush now, close your eyes, your rest is near

  Verse 2

  The fire will be nothing but a memory by morning But you will still be here, no need for any warning Whatever falls to quiet only makes room for the new There's always something waking soft and warm because of you

  Chorus

  Annie, Annie, the night is soft and slow Everything you need to know is you are loved, and so Sleep can come now, easy, with nothing left to fear Annie, hush now, close your eyes, your rest is near

  Bridge

  No need to hold the light, let it go where it may fall Someone's watching over all of it, and over you through all

  Chorus

  Annie, Annie, the night is soft and slow Everything you need to know is you are loved, and so Sleep can come now, easy, with nothing left to fear Annie, hush now, close your eyes, your rest is near

  Outro

  The last of the ash has settled soft behind the bars And you are settling too, as quiet as the stars

  Verse 1

  Somewhere the hallway breathes a small and papery sound a page turning over while the house sinks into rest you are curled here warm beneath the weight of my hand and every hour tonight is folding toward what is best

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing out there needs your eyes to open now the dark is only quiet wearing its softest gown let the whole wide waiting world grow distant and slow

  Chorus

  Annie, Annie, the night has your name inside it hush now, let the hours grow small and slow you are held here closer than the calm can hide it Annie, sleep is only love with somewhere to go

  Verse 2

  Down the hall the paper stirs against the old wall catching a draught that means no harm at all you don't need to know what tomorrow will bring only that my arms will still be standing, come the fall

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing out there needs your eyes to open now the dark is only quiet wearing its softest gown let the whole wide waiting world grow distant and slow

  Chorus

  Annie, Annie, the night has your name inside it hush now, let the hours grow small and slow you are held here closer than the calm can hide it Annie, sleep is only love with somewhere to go

  Bridge

  Time can turn its pages soft against the wall it will not take this moment, not tonight at all

  Chorus

  Annie, Annie, the night has your name inside it hush now, let the hours grow small and slow you are held here closer than the calm can hide it Annie, sleep is only love with somewhere to go

  Outro

  Somewhere the hallway settles, the paper stops its turning you are already drifting where the quiet keeps you warm
