  Verse 1

  Somewhere down the hallway a lamp is burning low and gold and the old boards hum their soft and creaky song of home the stripes upon the carpet catch the light and start to blur you are wrapped in every comfort that this quiet house can hold

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the hours grow slow and wide and kind let the house breathe gently while you leave the day behind close your eyes, my love, and drift where dreams begin to steal

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Camille, the whole wide world can wait until the morning comes the light beneath the door will stay to watch you as you dream in peace nothing here can touch you, nothing here will ever feel unreal rest easy now, Camille, there's nothing you must fear or need conceal

  Verse 2

  Every creak along the landing is a lullaby half sung every shadow on the wall is soft and leaning close to you the night is only kindness dressed in quiet and in dark you are held here safer than a treasure that was ever won

  Bridge

  Let the hush of evening settle warm around your head let it carry you to somewhere soft and gold instead

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Camille, the whole wide world can wait until the morning comes the light beneath the door will stay to watch you as you dream in peace nothing here can touch you, nothing here will ever feel unreal rest easy now, Camille, there's nothing you must fear or need conceal

  Outro

  The hallway light will keep its gentle watch till you're awake and every creaking board will hush itself for your dear sake

  Verse 1

  The lace at the window breathes in and then out slow carried by a wind too soft and small to ever know it drifts past the bars where you are curled up tight and everything around you folds in warm tonight

  Pre-chorus

  The room holds its breath the way that rooms will do when something small and precious is sleeping safe and true so let the hush wrap round you and pull you gently in

  Chorus

  Camille, the night has come to keep you, not to steal you are the softest thing this quiet could reveal sleep now and let the dark be nothing sharp or real Camille, you are the calm this whole wide house can feel

  Verse 2

  The wooden bars stand watch though they never say a word holding back the dark so nothing in it can be heard and the curtain sways again like it is rocking too keeping easy time with the breath that moves through you

  Chorus

  Camille, the night has come to keep you, not to steal you are the softest thing this quiet could reveal sleep now and let the dark be nothing sharp or real Camille, you are the calm this whole wide house can feel

  Bridge

  No need to hold on tight to anything at all let your small hands open soft and let the evening fall there is nothing out there bigger than this gentle room

  Chorus

  Camille, the night has come to keep you, not to steal you are the softest thing this quiet could reveal sleep now and let the dark be nothing sharp or real Camille, you are the calm this whole wide house can feel

  Outro

  The lace will keep on breathing long after you have gone to rest and you will still be held here, still the safest and the best

  Verse 1

  A small ember glows soft where the wallpaper turns to shadow One grey fleck of ash drifts down and settles without a sound You are held so much closer than any light could ever show Safe inside this quiet room where the whole wide world comes round

  Pre-chorus

  Let the glow keep pulsing low while the night breathes in and out Nothing here will hurry you, nothing here will shout Close your eyes and drift along, there is nothing to be scared about

  Chorus

  Camille, the dark is only resting, not a thing you need conceal Every breath you take tonight is warm and real Sleep will carry what the daylight cannot always reveal Rest now, Camille, until the morning comes to heal

  Verse 2

  The little light will keep on breathing long after your eyes have closed You are not left alone here, not for a moment, I suppose Even ash falls gently when it's certain where it goes Like you, drifting softly into the calm the night bestows

  Pre-chorus

  Let the glow keep pulsing low while the night breathes in and out Nothing here will hurry you, nothing here will shout Close your eyes and drift along, there is nothing to be scared about

  Chorus

  Camille, the dark is only resting, not a thing you need conceal Every breath you take tonight is warm and real Sleep will carry what the daylight cannot always reveal Rest now, Camille, until the morning comes to heal

  Bridge

  Nothing burns too bright or fast within this quiet room Only warmth enough to hold the shape of you

  Chorus

  Camille, the dark is only resting, not a thing you need conceal Every breath you take tonight is warm and real Sleep will carry what the daylight cannot always reveal Rest now, Camille, until the morning comes to heal

  Outro

  The glow will still be here, soft against the dark, when morning finds you Sleep now, small and certain, held the whole night through
