Verse 1

Heavy socks upon the floorboards, easy and unhurried the whole house has gone quiet, every worry has been buried I move slowly through the shadows just to reach your side and the creak beneath my footstep is a lullaby, my guide

Chorus

Beau, the dark is only velvet pulled across the room Beau, you're held so gently, safe inside the gloom nothing here can touch you, nothing here will go you are wrapped in quiet, easy as the snow

Verse 2

Every step I take is careful, soft as falling feathers down landing without waking colours scattered on the ground I would cross a thousand floors just to keep this moment slow just to watch you settle deeper into sleep and let it go

Pre-chorus

Somewhere near the ceiling, a hush is settling in to stay the whole night bends around you, keeping trouble far away and I am only steps from you, closer with each sway

Chorus

Beau, the dark is only velvet pulled across the room Beau, you're held so gently, safe inside the gloom nothing here can touch you, nothing here will go you are wrapped in quiet, easy as the snow

Bridge

Let the floor creak soft beneath me, let the hours drift and blur you are the reason every quiet thing I do occurs rest now, there is nothing you need carry, nothing you must know

Chorus

Beau, the dark is only velvet pulled across the room Beau, you're held so gently, safe inside the gloom nothing here can touch you, nothing here will go you are wrapped in quiet, easy as the snow

Outro

Somewhere the floorboards settle, and my footsteps finally cease you are held here always, drifting soft and deep in peace

Verse 1

A quiet hand finds the switch upon the wall And the yellow light folds soft and lets it go The whole wide room breathes out and settles small This is how the darkness learns to hold you slow

Pre-chorus

The plaster cools beneath the fading glow Every sound tonight has somewhere warm to land So let the hush come closer than you know

Chorus

Beau, the night has only gentle things to show Every star above was lit to watch you grow Close your eyes and feel the calm begin to flow There is nowhere safer, Beau, than here below

Verse 2

Your breathing slows to match the settling house Somewhere far a door forgets to make a sound You are held here softer than a sleepy vow Wrapped in all the quiet that the dark has found

Bridge

Nothing needs to happen now but rest No one needs you anywhere but here You are already so completely blessed Sleep will carry you and hold you near

Chorus

Beau, the night has only gentle things to show Every star above was lit to watch you grow Close your eyes and feel the calm begin to flow There is nowhere safer, Beau, than here below

Outro

Somewhere a palm still rests against the wall And the whole dark room keeps holding what it knows

Verse 1

The white curtain lifts just a little against the cold glass pane Midnight breathes so softly it barely stirs the windowpane Nothing out there can touch you while you're wrapped up warm in here You are held so gently, safe from anything that brings you pain

Pre-chorus

Let your small hands rest now, let the worry drift and go Every breath grows quieter as the hours settle low Close your eyes, my darling, there's a hush I want you to know

Chorus

Sleep now, Beau, the night is holding you so close and slow Nothing here can hurt you while the lamplight starts to glow You are loved beyond all measure, more than words could ever show Rest easy, Beau, there's nowhere safer that you need to go

Verse 2

The glass stays cold but you are warm beneath the blankets deep Somewhere far the wind is moving but it can't reach where you sleep You don't have to know the dark tonight, you only need to keep Drifting soft and slow into the kindest, gentlest sleep

Pre-chorus

Let your small hands rest now, let the worry drift and go Every breath grows quieter as the hours settle low Close your eyes, my darling, there's a hush I want you to know

Chorus

Sleep now, Beau, the night is holding you so close and slow Nothing here can hurt you while the lamplight starts to glow You are loved beyond all measure, more than words could ever show Rest easy, Beau, there's nowhere safer that you need to go

Bridge

Whatever the world brings when the morning comes around You will always be the softest, safest sound

Chorus

Sleep now, Beau, the night is holding you so close and slow Nothing here can hurt you while the lamplight starts to glow You are loved beyond all measure, more than words could ever show Rest easy, Beau, there's nowhere safer that you need to go

Outro

The curtain settles still against the quiet frosted glass Sleep on, and know this love was always built to last
