Verse 1

Cold bench, and my hands are stiff Steam rising like a held breath lifts You sit close, you pass me the cup You always know when to fill me up

I wasn't looking for warmth like this Didn't know I had a piece to miss Now I'm leaning in before you speak

Brielle, you make the cold air kind You settle the noise in my mind No one holds a morning quite like you Brielle, I keep coming back to

I don't need the grand or the loud I just need you, steady in the crowd Some loves shout, but this one hums This one stays when the morning comes

Chorus

Brielle, you make the cold air kind You settle the noise in my mind No one holds a morning quite like you Brielle, I keep coming back to

The bench is empty, the steam is gone But you're the warmth that I carry on

Verse 1

Grey light falling on the car park Wheels clicking on the cold asphalt You reach over, hold my hand there Nothing fancy, but it means it all

Pre-chorus

I've had grand loves dressed in silk and shine But none of them ever felt like mine I'm asking you to stay past closing time

Chorus

Brielle, you make the plain things glow Every ordinary hour feels like a spell Nobody else could love me so There's only one heart like yours, Brielle

Verse 2

You laugh at something small and silly Under lights that hum and swell I forget the list I came here for Just watching you, I'm doing well

Chorus

Brielle, you make the plain things glow Every ordinary hour feels like a spell Nobody else could love me so There's only one heart like yours, Brielle

Bridge

No mountaintop, no grand farewell Just you and me and the closing bell This is the love that I chose to keep

Wheels still clicking as we walk on home You're the reason I don't feel alone

Verse 1

Nobody sees the fire now Just grey ash, calm and slow But underneath there's still a glow Brielle, that's how I love you somehow

Pre-chorus

No need to burn up bright and loud Some love just holds without a sound And mine keeps building toward you now

Chorus

Brielle, you're the warmth I don't lose Steady heat, nothing left to prove You're the ember that won't fade Brielle, it's you I choose

Verse 2

Cold nights don't scare me anymore Not since I found this glow in you Other fires burn out fast and blue Yours just settles to the core

Bridge

Stir the ash and it still shows Under grey, the colour glows That's the proof I never lost you

Chorus

Brielle, you're the warmth I don't lose Steady heat, nothing left to prove You're the ember that won't fade Brielle, it's you I choose

Outro

Let the ash pile soft and grey You're the fire that stayed

Verse 1

Somewhere a radio hums low behind a wall of grey a small worn whisper keeping watch until the light of day and you are curled up safer than a secret ever kept held so gently, drifting soft, already halfway slept

Pre-chorus

The house breathes slow around you, easy, dim and low every corner softened now, the way the shadows go and something in the quiet leans in close to say

Chorus

Brielle, Brielle, the night has your name in it hushed and warm and holding you within it Sleep now, sleep, let every worry fall Brielle, you are the calm inside it all

Verse 2

Far off a station crackles, soft and low and slow a tender kind of static only sleepy ears would know and you are wrapped in stillness like a blanket made of sound nothing in this whole night wants to wake you, safe and sound

Chorus

Brielle, Brielle, the night has your name in it hushed and warm and holding you within it Sleep now, sleep, let every worry fall Brielle, you are the calm inside it all

Bridge

Let the hush hold what the hours cannot say let it carry you so gently far away you are loved beyond the reach of any storm

Chorus

Brielle, Brielle, the night has your name in it hushed and warm and holding you within it Sleep now, sleep, let every worry fall Brielle, you are the calm inside it all

Outro

Somewhere that soft hiss hums on, low and true still humming you to sleep, still watching over you

Verse 1

Watch the little specks of light go drifting slowly down the wall Falling soft as feathers now, so quiet they never fall You are curled up warm beneath the hush of amber glow Sleep is coming gentle, like a whisper down the hall

Pre-chorus

Every little speck of gold is settling down to rest The whole wide room is holding you the way it holds you best Close your eyes and let the evening carry you along

Chorus

Brielle, the light is fading soft and slow tonight Nothing in this room will ever give you a fright You're held here closer than a hand could ever tell Sleep now, Brielle, and drift as gentle as that light

Verse 2

The wooden floor is turning honey where the sun has been Quiet like a secret only you and I have seen You breathe so slow already, sinking into dreaming deep Nothing here will wake you, nothing sharp or in between

Chorus

Brielle, the light is fading soft and slow tonight Nothing in this room will ever give you a fright You're held here closer than a hand could ever tell Sleep now, Brielle, and drift as gentle as that light

Bridge

Rock a little slower now, the evening's nearly still Let the dust and daylight settle where they will

Chorus

Brielle, the light is fading soft and slow tonight Nothing in this room will ever give you a fright You're held here closer than a hand could ever tell Sleep now, Brielle, and drift as gentle as that light

Outro

The last of all that amber light has settled on the floor You're sleeping now, and safe, and loved, and needing nothing more

Verse 1

A far light sweeps so slowly across the old brick wall and nothing in this room will ever come to harm you the night is wide and quiet, but it is small beside you for you are held here safer than any spell could charm you

Chorus

Sleep now, sleep now, sweet Brielle, the dark is soft and kind close your eyes, Brielle, and let the day unwind you are the warmest thing this whole house ever knew and every quiet hour tonight belongs to you

Verse 2

That pale light slides so gently, steady as a breath it does not rush, it does not fade, it only glows and stays and that is how I feel for you, unhurried and unbroken a love that keeps on going through the softest of the days

Pre-chorus

Let your small hands rest now, let your worries drift away there is nothing you must carry, nothing you must say just the hush, and the dark, and the love that will not stray

Chorus

Sleep now, sleep now, sweet Brielle, the dark is soft and kind close your eyes, Brielle, and let the day unwind you are the warmest thing this whole house ever knew and every quiet hour tonight belongs to you

Bridge

No shadow here will ever learn your name no storm will find the corner where you lie you are the calm that every night grows round held so gently underneath this sky

Chorus

Sleep now, sleep now, sweet Brielle, the dark is soft and kind close your eyes, Brielle, and let the day unwind you are the warmest thing this whole house ever knew and every quiet hour tonight belongs to you

Outro

That light still moves so slowly, sweeping soft across the wall and you sleep on beneath it, loved beyond it all
