  Verse 1

  The fire is sinking low and soft behind the iron bars While a small wind hums along the bricks outside You are curled up warm where nothing cold can reach you And the whole wide dark tonight is put aside

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the last light fold and settle There's no need to chase the evening on You are exactly where you're meant to be tonight

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Benjamin, the house is breathing slow Nothing in this room will let you down You are loved as steady as the embers glow Benjamin, the quiet wraps around

  Verse 2

  The ash falls soft and grey like snow that never lands And the draft outside just sighs and drifts away You don't have to hold on to a single worry now Every corner of this dark is safe till day

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the last light fold and settle There's no need to chase the evening on You are exactly where you're meant to be tonight

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Benjamin, the house is breathing slow Nothing in this room will let you down You are loved as steady as the embers glow Benjamin, the quiet wraps around

  Bridge

  Somewhere past the window the wide night waits and wanders But it can't come past this door, not tonight You are held here closer than the warmth against the iron

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Benjamin, the house is breathing slow Nothing in this room will let you down You are loved as steady as the embers glow Benjamin, the quiet wraps around

  Outro

  The ash keeps glowing soft behind the bars till morning Sleep now, you are held, and all is well

  Verse 1

  The grate holds a glow that is fading down slow and warm Grey cinders are keeping the last of the light from harm And just like that ember still breathing beneath the ash You carry a warmth that will never once burn to ash

  Pre-chorus

  So let your small hands and your worries unclench and rest Let every bright worry lie down in your quiet chest There's nothing to chase now, there's only this hush and you

  Chorus

  Benjamin, close your eyes, let the last light dim and blur Nothing tonight can reach where you are, nothing can stir Sleep now, my Benjamin, safe as the coals breathing slow Held in the warmth long after the brightest flames go

  Verse 2

  Outside the window the whole dark world has gone to rest The hush that falls now is only proof that you are blessed No shadow that gathers can ever come close to your bed Only the soft weight of sleep settling over your head

  Pre-chorus

  So let your small hands and your worries unclench and rest Let every bright worry lie down in your quiet chest There's nothing to chase now, there's only this hush and you

  Chorus

  Benjamin, close your eyes, let the last light dim and blur Nothing tonight can reach where you are, nothing can stir Sleep now, my Benjamin, safe as the coals breathing slow Held in the warmth long after the brightest flames go

  Bridge

  Even when morning comes and the grate turns cold and grey The warmth that you are will still be here to stay

  Chorus

  Benjamin, close your eyes, let the last light dim and blur Nothing tonight can reach where you are, nothing can stir Sleep now, my Benjamin, safe as the coals breathing slow Held in the warmth long after the brightest flames go

  Outro

  The last of the embers is settling soft into grey And you are the warmth that will carry through till day

  Verse 1

  Rain is drawing gold lines down the window by your bed Warm beneath the wool, there's nowhere else you need to tread Streetlights swim and settle, soft as breathing in the glen Nothing in the dark tonight will touch that golden thread

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the little lights go blurring by Every shadow here is gentle, none of them will pry Sleep is calling soft and low, so let it carry you

  Chorus

  Benjamin, the night is only kindness in disguise Nothing you should carry, nothing you should fear again Rest inside the hush that holds you safe from ten till ten Benjamin, I'm here until the morning meets your eyes

  Verse 2

  Wrapped up warm while glass turns amber, gold and slowly grey You don't have to hold your eyes open one more minute today Every little light out there is drifting off to bed Let the wool and warmth just carry all your cares away

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the little lights go blurring by Every shadow here is gentle, none of them will pry Sleep is calling soft and low, so let it carry you

  Chorus

  Benjamin, the night is only kindness in disguise Nothing you should carry, nothing you should fear again Rest inside the hush that holds you safe from ten till ten Benjamin, I'm here until the morning meets your eyes

  Bridge

  Whatever came before was heavy, let it fall away now Just this window, just this blanket, just this quiet vow

  Chorus

  Benjamin, the night is only kindness in disguise Nothing you should carry, nothing you should fear again Rest inside the hush that holds you safe from ten till ten Benjamin, I'm here until the morning meets your eyes

  Outro

  Rain still drawing gold lines gently down the glass Sleep now, love, and let the golden evening pass
