  Verse 1

  A yellow ticket rests on the wooden rail tonight headlights sweep the ceiling in a slow and gentle light the house breathes soft around you, every corner kind and nothing in the darkness means to trouble your mind

  Pre-chorus

  The rain is coming down in such a quiet, steady way it hums along the window like it wants to stay so let it carry you where all the soft things lead

  Chorus

  Archibald, the night has come to hold you close and still Archibald, you're safer than the moon behind the hill nothing here will call you, nothing here will scald you are so completely, warmly, wholly loved, Archibald

  Verse 2

  Somewhere down the road a car is turning out of sight leaving just a memory of amber on the white but you are here beside me, wrapped in something true and every quiet minute now belongs to you

  Chorus

  Archibald, the night has come to hold you close and still Archibald, you're safer than the moon behind the hill nothing here will call you, nothing here will scald you are so completely, warmly, wholly loved, Archibald

  Bridge

  Sleep now, let the piano find the corners of the room let the rain keep counting hours through the gentle gloom you are held by more than blankets, more than walls

  Chorus

  Archibald, the night has come to hold you close and still Archibald, you're safer than the moon behind the hill nothing here will call you, nothing here will scald you are so completely, warmly, wholly loved, Archibald

  Outro

  The ticket stays there quiet on the wooden rail till dawn and you will still be loved this way when morning comes along

  Verse 1

  The buckle rests so quiet against the grey of your seat While every streetlight slides on past the window like a friend There is nowhere in this whole wide world you need to be Only here where the soft dark and the quiet never end

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the hum of the road carry you slow Every worry of the day has somewhere else to go Rest here in the warmth that only sleep can send

  Chorus

  Archibald, you are the calmest heart I've ever known Sleep is coming soft and low to carry you away Nothing in this night will ever leave you here alone Archibald, my dear, you're safe until the day

  Verse 2

  You are held so close within this small and moving room While the lights outside keep drifting like a slow and gentle tide There is nothing but the dark and you beneath the moon And I will stay right here with you, however far we ride

  Chorus

  Archibald, you are the calmest heart I've ever known Sleep is coming soft and low to carry you away Nothing in this night will ever leave you here alone Archibald, my dear, you're safe until the day

  Bridge

  Let your breathing slow to match the hush of tyres on the road Every mile becomes another blanket softly laid You are cherished more than any word has ever told

  Chorus

  Archibald, you are the calmest heart I've ever known Sleep is coming soft and low to carry you away Nothing in this night will ever leave you here alone Archibald, my dear, you're safe until the day

  Outro

  The buckle rests so quiet, the streetlights drift and fade Sleep now, Archibald, you are loved and safe and stayed

  Verse 1

  The soot comes tumbling soft down the old red brick tonight Smoke curls above the grate like a slow and drowsy song There is nothing in this room that could ever bring you fright You are held here safe and warm where you belong

  Chorus

  Archibald, the fire is banked and low and kind Hush now, every worry of the day has been enthralled Archibald, I keep you closest in my mind Sleep now, in this quiet house where nothing feels too scald

  Verse 2

  The metal grate stands guard while all the embers settle down Nothing here can touch you, nothing here can do you harm Every little ember wears a soft and fading crown Rest inside the circle of this steady, gentle warm

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes, the whole wide house is breathing slow around you Every corner of the dark has gone completely still Let the warmth I carry for you settle in and hold you

  Chorus

  Archibald, the fire is banked and low and kind Hush now, every worry of the day has been enthralled Archibald, I keep you closest in my mind Sleep now, in this quiet house where nothing feels too scald

  Bridge

  Nothing loud will find you, nothing bright will call you back Only soft grey smoke that drifts and never makes a sound

  Chorus

  Archibald, the fire is banked and low and kind Hush now, every worry of the day has been enthralled Archibald, I keep you closest in my mind Sleep now, in this quiet house where nothing feels too scald

  Outro

  The soot has settled soft along the sleeping brick tonight Sleep on, my dear, you are the warmest thing in sight
