  Verse 1

  Orange light is glowing soft along the road tonight Curled up safe behind the strap that holds you tight Every mile is carrying you gently toward the light Carl, the whole wide world can wait until it's light

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes, the engine hums a slow and steady song Nothing out there in the dark can follow where you belong Rest is coming closer now, it won't be very long

  Chorus

  Carl, you are the reason every light stays low and warm Sleep now, little one, you're held here safe from harm Carl, my quiet love, you're steady through the storm Nothing in this whole wide night will ever do you harm

  Verse 2

  Buckle strap is humming soft against your drifting chest Streetlights blink like fireflies too tired now to rest Somewhere up ahead a bed is waiting for its guest Carl, you're carried gently on toward what you need best

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes, the engine hums a slow and steady song Nothing out there in the dark can follow where you belong Rest is coming closer now, it won't be very long

  Chorus

  Carl, you are the reason every light stays low and warm Sleep now, little one, you're held here safe from harm Carl, my quiet love, you're steady through the storm Nothing in this whole wide night will ever do you harm

  Bridge

  Hush now, let the humming carry all your worries far Every quiet mile is proof of just how loved you are

  Chorus

  Carl, you are the reason every light stays low and warm Sleep now, little one, you're held here safe from harm Carl, my quiet love, you're steady through the storm Nothing in this whole wide night will ever do you harm

  Outro

  Sleep now while the small light glows on, soft and low Carl, you are the warmest thing this quiet night will know

  Verse 1

  A thin stripe of light slips in beneath the door tonight Falling soft and gold across the floor where you lie It waits there so quiet, so patient and so kind Watching over you until the hour drifts by

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere past that door the whole wide house breathes low Every sound has settled, every worry let you go Close your eyes now, Carl, and feel how safe you are

  Chorus

  Carl, the night is holding you so gently and so near Nothing in the dark tonight can ever touch you here Carl, you are the warmest thing this quiet house has known Sleep now, little Carl, you are never on your own

  Verse 2

  The house grows still around you like a slow and easy tide No footsteps in the hallway, just the hush of resting things One thin line of light still glows along the floor beside And in that gentle glow, love quietly sings

  Chorus

  Carl, the night is holding you so gently and so near Nothing in the dark tonight can ever touch you here Carl, you are the warmest thing this quiet house has known Sleep now, little Carl, you are never on your own

  Bridge

  Let every breath you take grow slower than the last Nothing you must carry now, no reaching for the past

  Chorus

  Carl, the night is holding you so gently and so near Nothing in the dark tonight can ever touch you here Carl, you are the warmest thing this quiet house has known Sleep now, little Carl, you are never on your own

  Outro

  That same soft stripe of light will still be there at dawn Sleep on, dear Carl, you are so loved, so safe, so warm

  Verse 1

  Somewhere a hand is resting soft along the wooden rail Guiding you home through shadows where the quiet never fails Every step you're taking here is smaller than a sigh Nothing in this house tonight will wake you or your eye

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the hallway keeps its own slow, steady beat Warmth is waiting just ahead beneath your tired feet Close your eyes a little more, we're nearly there, my sweet

  Chorus

  Carl, the dark is only resting, nothing more than that Sleep is folding round you gentle as a blanket, soft and flat Nobody will wake you, nobody will call Carl, you are the safest thing inside these walls

  Verse 2

  Feel how smooth the wood has grown from years of gentle hands Every worn and polished inch was shaped by someone's plans You don't need to understand the reasons why it's there Only that it leads you soft through darkness into care

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the hallway keeps its own slow, steady beat Warmth is waiting just ahead beneath your tired feet Close your eyes a little more, we're nearly there, my sweet

  Chorus

  Carl, the dark is only resting, nothing more than that Sleep is folding round you gentle as a blanket, soft and flat Nobody will wake you, nobody will call Carl, you are the safest thing inside these walls

  Bridge

  Rest your fingers, let them loosen, you don't need to hold on tight Someone else is watching over every corner of the night

  Chorus

  Carl, the dark is only resting, nothing more than that Sleep is folding round you gentle as a blanket, soft and flat Nobody will wake you, nobody will call Carl, you are the safest thing inside these walls

  Outro

  Somewhere that same smooth rail is waiting quiet in the hall Sleep now, you are held already, gentle as before you fall
