  Verse 1

  Heavy drops are sliding down the glass so slow tonight Sliding past the brick wall standing dark and still outside You are wrapped up warmer than the softest fading light Nothing out beyond that glass can touch you, none can hide

  Chorus

  Bertram, close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you Every drop that falls tonight is falling soft for you Bertram, you are held here, safe in all we say and do Rest inside this moment, it was always meant for you

  Verse 2

  Wind may knock politely at the corner of the pane Brick may hold the coldness that the evening brings again You are curled up cosy while the sky lets loose its rain Sleep will come and find you like an old familiar friend

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere past that window all the world is turning grey Here the lamp is golden and it's chasing dark away Let the hush come nearer, there is nothing left to say

  Chorus

  Bertram, close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you Every drop that falls tonight is falling soft for you Bertram, you are held here, safe in all we say and do Rest inside this moment, it was always meant for you

  Bridge

  Nothing in the falling rain was ever built to harm You are folded gently in the deepest kind of calm

  Chorus

  Bertram, close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you Every drop that falls tonight is falling soft for you Bertram, you are held here, safe in all we say and do Rest inside this moment, it was always meant for you

  Outro

  Let the rain keep sliding gently down the darkened glass Sleep now, you are certain, you will always be this cared for

  Verse 1

  The curtain lifts and falls against the white painted sill Breathing slow with the night, so quiet and so still Somewhere past the glass the whole wide world turns down its light And you are held here safe, exactly where you're meant to be until

  Pre-chorus

  The candle dims to gold and the hush begins to grow Every worry of the day has somewhere soft to go So let your small hands rest and let your eyelids follow slow

  Chorus

  Bertram, the night is only love wrapped round in grey Nothing can reach you here before the break of day You are the calm at the centre of it all Bertram, sleep easy, let the dark be kind and stay

  Verse 2

  The cotton stirs so lightly like a breath let halfway out Nothing in this room has any reason left for doubt Every shadow on the wall is only shadow, nothing more And you are wrapped in warmth that folds around you round about

  Chorus

  Bertram, the night is only love wrapped round in grey Nothing can reach you here before the break of day You are the calm at the centre of it all Bertram, sleep easy, let the dark be kind and stay

  Bridge

  Rest now, there is nowhere else you need to be No hurry in this hour, no clock, no far to go Just this soft and steady dark holding you close to me And a quiet kind of love that only wants you slow

  Chorus

  Bertram, the night is only love wrapped round in grey Nothing can reach you here before the break of day You are the calm at the centre of it all Bertram, sleep easy, let the dark be kind and stay

  Outro

  The curtain settles still against the white painted sill Sleep now, little one, the whole night's yours to fill

  Verse 1

  Grey feathers brush the branch outside your open window soft as the hush that settles low and lets the light go Nothing tonight can find its way in past the sill the whole wide dark is folding down to hold you still

  Pre-chorus

  The house breathes slow, the lamp burns low and gold every small worry has been gently told to fold and sleep is coming closer now, warm hand in hand

  Chorus

  Bertram, the night has nothing sharp to give you only this quiet, only how much we live for you Bertram, close your eyes against the dim you are the warmest thing this house has ever seen

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a wing settles on the cold and waiting wood and you are here where every soft thing understood The window stays open just to let the calm night in not a single thing out there could touch your skin

  Pre-chorus

  The house breathes slow, the lamp burns low and gold every small worry has been gently told to fold and sleep is coming closer now, warm hand in hand

  Chorus

  Bertram, the night has nothing sharp to give you only this quiet, only how much we live for you Bertram, close your eyes against the dim you are the warmest thing this house has ever seen

  Bridge

  Let the branch outside go still, the feathers settle too there is nothing in this whole wide dark but love for you

  Chorus

  Bertram, the night has nothing sharp to give you only this quiet, only how much we live for you Bertram, close your eyes against the dim you are the warmest thing this house has ever seen

  Outro

  The feathers rest, the branch is still against the pane and you sleep on, held safe, and warm, and named
