  Verse 1

  Rain is drawing lines across the window by your seat Every orange light that passes comes to rest on you Somewhere out there engines hum a rhythm soft and sweet Nothing in this whole wide night can touch you, that is true

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the wipers keep the time Streetlights blur to amber rivers, gold and warm and slow Rest here safely, you are held in something fine

  Chorus

  Bobby, the night is soft and you are safe with me Nothing can reach you here, no need to fear a thing Bobby, wherever this road goes, that's where we'll be Sleep now, my Bobby, let the quiet engines sing

  Verse 2

  The heater hums a lullaby that only you can hear Glass is cool against the warmth of your small breathing chest Every mile that passes brings the pillow ever near Let the dashboard glow be all the light you need for rest

  Chorus

  Bobby, the night is soft and you are safe with me Nothing can reach you here, no need to fear a thing Bobby, wherever this road goes, that's where we'll be Sleep now, my Bobby, let the quiet engines sing

  Bridge

  However far this journey takes us, you are not alone However dark it gets outside, this light is our own

  Chorus

  Bobby, the night is soft and you are safe with me Nothing can reach you here, no need to fear a thing Bobby, wherever this road goes, that's where we'll be Sleep now, my Bobby, let the quiet engines sing

  Outro

  The rain keeps tracing softly down the glass beside your head Sleep now in the amber glow, my love, you're safe in bed

  Verse 1

  A tiny light is burning soft beside your pillow now it hums along so gently, low and slow and kind that sound is only comfort, nothing there to fear you are the calmest thing that this house will ever find

  Pre-chorus

  The static hushes softer than a whisper ever could the whole wide dark is folding down to just this room and everything is waiting, warm and good

  Chorus

  Bobby, close your eyes now, let the humming carry you nothing in this night has come to do you harm Bobby, you are held here closer than you know wrapped up safe and steady in the quiet and the warm

  Verse 2

  The little dial glows the colour of a candle far away it does not need to shine much, just enough to see and you don't need much either, only breathing slow only sinking softer into where you're meant to be

  Pre-chorus

  The static hushes softer than a whisper ever could the whole wide dark is folding down to just this room and everything is waiting, warm and good

  Chorus

  Bobby, close your eyes now, let the humming carry you nothing in this night has come to do you harm Bobby, you are held here closer than you know wrapped up safe and steady in the quiet and the warm

  Bridge

  Nothing loud will find you, nothing sharp will come this way only soft, only slow, only you till day

  Chorus

  Bobby, close your eyes now, let the humming carry you nothing in this night has come to do you harm Bobby, you are held here closer than you know wrapped up safe and steady in the quiet and the warm

  Outro

  The little light will watch you long after you have gone to sleep and it will still be glowing soft when morning comes to keep

  Verse 1

  Soft the floor sighs underneath the rug so worn and kind Every little creak is just the house easing its mind Nothing in this hallway means you any harm tonight I will carry you where all the hush is warm and lined

  Pre-chorus

  Down the passage now the lamps are dimming low and slow Every board has learned the gentle way it ought to go Close your eyes before the last light starts to bend and blur

  Chorus

  Bobby, hush now, let the whole wide house grow still for you Nothing needs you but to rest, there's nothing left to do Someone's here to hold the quiet steady through the night Bobby, you are loved in every room the dark moves through

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past your door the old rug keeps its patterns warm Nothing sharp or loud has ever come to do you harm Sleep can find you soft as socks upon the wooden floor I will stay as long as you need someone near your arm

  Bridge

  Let the house breathe out its little wooden sighs for you Nothing in the dark tonight has anywhere to go

  Chorus

  Bobby, hush now, let the whole wide house grow still for you Nothing needs you but to rest, there's nothing left to do Someone's here to hold the quiet steady through the night Bobby, you are loved in every room the dark moves through

  Outro

  Somewhere down the hall the rug still holds the warmth of day Sleep now, little one, the floor has learned to stay this way
