  Verse 1

  There's a small yellow bulb still glowing above the stairs tonight Falling soft on the old wallpaper, worn thin and kind It has watched every step you have taken up to here And it waits there for you now, so easy in your mind

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes, let the whole house settle low and slow Every creak on the landing is only the day breathing out There is nothing that can reach you, only quiet left to grow

  Chorus

  Bruce, you are held here, safe as the last light on the stair Nothing can touch you, nothing can pull you from this warmth Rest now, Bruce, there is nowhere else you need to be You are the reason this whole house is wrapped in calm

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a door is easing shut on all the noise of the day Somewhere the wind outside is turning gentle in the dark You are wrapped up warmer than anything the night could bring And you are carried, always, further than you'd ever have to ask

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes, let the whole house settle low and slow Every creak on the landing is only the day breathing out There is nothing that can reach you, only quiet left to grow

  Chorus

  Bruce, you are held here, safe as the last light on the stair Nothing can touch you, nothing can pull you from this warmth Rest now, Bruce, there is nowhere else you need to be You are the reason this whole house is wrapped in calm

  Bridge

  Sleep now, and let the whole world grow small and still There is a light left burning just for you, and always will

  Chorus

  Bruce, you are held here, safe as the last light on the stair Nothing can touch you, nothing can pull you from this warmth Rest now, Bruce, there is nowhere else you need to be You are the reason this whole house is wrapped in calm

  Outro

  The little light above the stairs will burn on through the night And you will still be loved here, long after it fades from sight

  Verse 1

  The lace curtain lifts soft across the wooden floor tonight and moonlight comes to lay itself down warm and white the whole room settles into quiet like a held breath you are the reason everything in here feels right

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Bruce, the night has drawn in close and kind hush now, Bruce, there is nothing left to find just this room, this light, this slow and gentle truce every worry loosens when I think of you, Bruce

  Verse 2

  The breeze comes soft and never once disturbs your rest it only moves the curtain like a slow caress you are held here safer than a secret kept for years nothing in this whole wide dark could touch your chest

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere past the window the whole night is turning still every star is holding steady, waiting on your will and my heart keeps time with yours until

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Bruce, the night has drawn in close and kind hush now, Bruce, there is nothing left to find just this room, this light, this slow and gentle truce every worry loosens when I think of you, Bruce

  Bridge

  Let the moon keep watch while your small hands finally rest let the dark be gentle, let it do its very best you are loved beyond the measure of a single quiet room

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Bruce, the night has drawn in close and kind hush now, Bruce, there is nothing left to find just this room, this light, this slow and gentle truce every worry loosens when I think of you, Bruce

  Outro

  The curtain settles gently as the moonlight starts to fade rest now in the quiet that our love has always made

  Verse 1

  Heavy drops are falling soft against the windowpane tonight The old bed hums a quiet creak, a slow and gentle tune Nothing in this room can touch you, nothing gives you fright You are held here safe and steady underneath the moon

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the rain keep time upon the glass Feel the warmth around you settle heavier than sleep Let the whole loud world go drifting softly past

  Chorus

  Bruce, my love, the night is gentle, night is only ours Nothing here will hurt you, nothing here comes loose Rest inside the quiet, count the falling hours Sleep is soft and waiting for you, Bruce

  Verse 2

  The brass frame is creaking like it's rocking you to rest Every drop that hits the window sings a small, low song You are wrapped in something warmer than a blanket on your chest This is where you're meant to be, this is where you belong

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the rain keep time upon the glass Feel the warmth around you settle heavier than sleep Let the whole loud world go drifting softly past

  Chorus

  Bruce, my love, the night is gentle, night is only ours Nothing here will hurt you, nothing here comes loose Rest inside the quiet, count the falling hours Sleep is soft and waiting for you, Bruce

  Bridge

  No storm can reach the corner where you're lying now Every breath you take is watched with love somehow

  Chorus

  Bruce, my love, the night is gentle, night is only ours Nothing here will hurt you, nothing here comes loose Rest inside the quiet, count the falling hours Sleep is soft and waiting for you, Bruce

  Outro

  The rain will keep on falling soft while you are sound asleep The bed will rock you gently through the dark you do not keep
