  Verse 1

  There's a stripe of yellow light beneath the closed door staying there to watch you all night long and the house breathes soft around you, settled and sure humming low its quiet, steady song

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the day slip away from you every worry folding down to nothing at all and the dark is only ever kind to you

  Chorus

  Audrey, the whole wide world can wait till morning nothing here will ever let you down you are held so close without a warning Audrey, safest sleeper in this town

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the door the lamp still glows for you keeping every shadow soft and small and nothing in this house would ever let you down not the quiet, not the dark, not at all

  Bridge

  Rest your head, there's nowhere else to be just this warm and gentle stillness, only you and me and every breath you take is safe as it can be

  Chorus

  Audrey, the whole wide world can wait till morning nothing here will ever let you down you are held so close without a warning Audrey, safest sleeper in this town

  Outro

  That stripe of gold beneath the door will burn there still watching over you until the light comes in

  Verse 1

  The soot is shifting softly in the cold red brick tonight And every little ember has been tucked away from sight The whole wide house is settling into stillness round your head You are the warmest thing I know beneath this fading light

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the hush come drifting slow and low Let the last small sparks of daylight quietly let go There is nowhere you need be but here, so warm and near

  Chorus

  Audrey, you are safe as embers banked and glowing warm Nothing in the wide dark night will ever bring you harm Sleep is just a soft room where I'm holding you so near Rest now, Audrey, you were always loved before you were even born

  Verse 2

  The fireplace breathes its quiet grey and settles in to rest And I would give you every gentle thing I know is best Somewhere past the window all the stars are keeping watch You are held here closer than a hand upon my chest

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the hush come drifting slow and low Let the last small sparks of daylight quietly let go There is nowhere you need be but here, so warm and near

  Chorus

  Audrey, you are safe as embers banked and glowing warm Nothing in the wide dark night will ever bring you harm Sleep is just a soft room where I'm holding you so near Rest now, Audrey, you were always loved before you were even born

  Bridge

  Whatever small worry followed you through the day is done It softens now like ashes settling one by one You do not have to hold on to a single thing but sleep

  Chorus

  Audrey, you are safe as embers banked and glowing warm Nothing in the wide dark night will ever bring you harm Sleep is just a soft room where I'm holding you so near Rest now, Audrey, you were always loved before you were even born

  Outro

  The soot has settled softly and the fire has gone to sleep And so will you, my Audrey, safe and warm and deep

  Verse 1

  The road hums low while the whole wide world turns quiet Orange light drifts soft across the belt where you lie still Nothing out there in the dark can reach or find you You are held so close, cradled gentle against my will

  Chorus

  Audrey, Audrey, close your eyes and let the night in Every mile we pass is a mile that keeps you warm Somewhere past the glass the stars are just beginning Audrey, you are safe here, wrapped up far from harm

  Verse 2

  The engine sings a tune that only we can hear now Light spills amber slow across your little sleeping hands Nothing in this world could ever love you fuller You are why the dark feels soft as warm sand

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the hum become the sound of dreaming Let the glow across your cheek be all you know Sleep is coming close, so warm and slow

  Chorus

  Audrey, Audrey, close your eyes and let the night in Every mile we pass is a mile that keeps you warm Somewhere past the glass the stars are just beginning Audrey, you are safe here, wrapped up far from harm

  Bridge

  Wherever this road goes, you will not travel it alone Every quiet light that passes is a light that calls you home

  Chorus

  Audrey, Audrey, close your eyes and let the night in Every mile we pass is a mile that keeps you warm Somewhere past the glass the stars are just beginning Audrey, you are safe here, wrapped up far from harm

  Outro

  The light still glows soft though the road has gone quiet Sleep now, Audrey, held safe until morning
