  Verse 1

  Raindrops are sliding so slow down the glass tonight Watching them fall while you rest in my arms Frost on the window is catching the low lamp light Nothing can touch you, my love keeps you warm

  Chorus

  Anthony, hush now, the dark is your friend Close your eyes soft as the rain on the pane Anthony, sleep and let every thought end Warm as the radiator's low humming refrain

  Verse 2

  Somewhere the wind is just brushing the chimney Ticking and warm is the sound in this room Hearing you breathe is the sweetest small symphony Sleep wraps around you like soft evening bloom

  Pre-chorus

  Feel how the warmth settles over your chest Rain keeps on tapping so soft and so slow Let it all carry you gently to rest

  Chorus

  Anthony, hush now, the dark is your friend Close your eyes soft as the rain on the pane Anthony, sleep and let every thought end Warm as the radiator's low humming refrain

  Bridge

  Every drop on the glass is a whispered goodnight Nothing will wake you, I'm holding you near

  Chorus

  Anthony, hush now, the dark is your friend Close your eyes soft as the rain on the pane Anthony, sleep and let every thought end Warm as the radiator's low humming refrain

  Outro

  Rain will keep falling soft down the frosted pane Sleep now, my Anthony, safe here again

  Verse 1

  The brass lamp turns low and spills its gentle crescent light Across the floorboards where the shadows softly bend There is nothing in this room tonight that means you harm or fright Only quiet, only you, until the darkness ends

  Pre-chorus

  Let your busy little hands go still upon the sheet Let the day and all its noise dissolve away like foam Close your eyes now, you are held, and everything is sweet

  Chorus

  Anthony, the light is low and everything is well Nothing in the shadows here, no need to be alone Anthony, I'll stay right here as long as you can tell This room, this glow, this quiet breath, will always be your home

  Verse 2

  The lampshade hums a colour warmer than a summer sky And paints a slow half moon across the wooden floor Whatever came before tonight, however hard you tried You can rest now, you don't need to carry it anymore

  Pre-chorus

  Let your busy little hands go still upon the sheet Let the day and all its noise dissolve away like foam Close your eyes now, you are held, and everything is sweet

  Chorus

  Anthony, the light is low and everything is well Nothing in the shadows here, no need to be alone Anthony, I'll stay right here as long as you can tell This room, this glow, this quiet breath, will always be your home

  Bridge

  Sleep now, further than the furthest tree, further than the sea Nothing you could dream tonight would ever trouble me

  Chorus

  Anthony, the light is low and everything is well Nothing in the shadows here, no need to be alone Anthony, I'll stay right here as long as you can tell This room, this glow, this quiet breath, will always be your home

  Outro

  The lamp will keep its low and steady crescent through the night And you are loved past counting, past the reach of morning light

  Verse 1

  A candle burns low in its heavy glass jar tonight holding its little flame so steady and so bright wax going soft and slow inside the quiet room you are the warmth I gather to hold you right

  Pre-chorus

  Outside the rain is falling soft against the glass every worry of the day has finally gone to pass and here you rest while the hours drift so slow and near

  Chorus

  Anthony, the night is wide but you are held so close the dark won't find you, not the part that matters most sleep now, little one, beneath this calm and steady sky Anthony, you're safer than you'll ever know

  Verse 2

  The flame burns down so slowly, never in a rush filling up the corners with a golden hush wax pooling soft and warm inside the sturdy jar this is how I hold you, gentle, in no rush

  Bridge

  Whatever the dark is doing far beyond this room it cannot touch the small and steady light we've grown you are wrapped in something warmer than any flame could be

  Chorus

  Anthony, the night is wide but you are held so close the dark won't find you, not the part that matters most sleep now, little one, beneath this calm and steady sky Anthony, you're safer than you'll ever know

  Outro

  The candle's burning low now, soft and slow and true and I will keep the light on, watching over you
