  Verse 1

  Yellow light is spilling soft across the old worn floor tonight Under the fringe of wool your breathing settles slow and light The whole house leans in close to keep you warm and near You are held here safe until the morning brings its light

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the day and all its noise drift far away Nothing in this room will ever ask you more to say Just close your eyes, my love, and let me hum you home

  Chorus

  Carol, Carol, sleep is calling soft and low Nothing in the dark can touch you, this you know You are loved beyond the reach of any harm or peril Carol, rest, the light will keep you well till morrow

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window all the stars are settling in to wait The wool around you holds the warmth the whole night through till late Every breath you take is small and steady as a drum You are the softest thing that ever came to make this home

  Bridge

  Sleep is just a boat that carries you so gently out to sea There is nothing waiting there but calm and quiet company

  Chorus

  Carol, Carol, sleep is calling soft and low Nothing in the dark can touch you, this you know You are loved beyond the reach of any harm or peril Carol, rest, the light will keep you well till morrow

  Outro

  The yellow light will still be here to greet you when you wake Sleep now, Carol, safe and warm, for love is wide awake

  Verse 1

  Somewhere a tap is letting go of the day so slowly Each drop falls soft into the steel and softly disappears You are curled up warm where nothing sharp can find you Sleep is already humming low inside your tiny ears

  Chorus

  Carol, the dark is only a blanket pulled up high Nothing moves too fast tonight, nothing dares to try Close your eyes now, Carol, let the hours drift by Safe here beside you until the morning sky

  Verse 2

  Shadows lie down easy in the corners of the room Nothing in this quiet house has any need to hide Your breath falls even as the small clock ticks its tune Wrapped in a stillness that will stay here by your side

  Pre-chorus

  Hear how the whole house has slowed its beating heart Every small sound settling into its right place Nothing needs to hurry now, we are not far apart

  Chorus

  Carol, the dark is only a blanket pulled up high Nothing moves too fast tonight, nothing dares to try Close your eyes now, Carol, let the hours drift by Safe here beside you until the morning sky

  Bridge

  Rest your small hand open like it's holding onto nothing Let every worry empty slowly out like water finding rest

  Chorus

  Carol, the dark is only a blanket pulled up high Nothing moves too fast tonight, nothing dares to try Close your eyes now, Carol, let the hours drift by Safe here beside you until the morning sky

  Outro

  Somewhere that tap still falls, slower now than before You are held so gently, needing nothing more

  Verse 1

  The fire settles low behind its iron guard tonight Soot shifts softly, sinking deeper into red brick warm Nothing in this room will stir before the morning light You are held here safer than you'll ever know the harm

  Pre-chorus

  Every ember dims but never leaves the hearth for good Just like love that banks down low but stays exactly where it stood Close your eyes now, let the quiet wrap you like it should

  Chorus

  Carol, the night is only warmth wrapped tight around you now Nothing can reach you here, no peril waits beyond this wall Rest easy, Carol, let the ember show you how Sleep is just a gentle keeping, softest place of all

  Verse 2

  Outside the wind is nothing but a story told in low tones Inside these bricks hold every bit of warmth the day has earned Nobody's leaving, nobody's letting you sleep alone You are the reason this small fire was ever kept and turned

  Pre-chorus

  Every ember dims but never leaves the hearth for good Just like love that banks down low but stays exactly where it stood Close your eyes now, let the quiet wrap you like it should

  Chorus

  Carol, the night is only warmth wrapped tight around you now Nothing can reach you here, no peril waits beyond this wall Rest easy, Carol, let the ember show you how Sleep is just a gentle keeping, softest place of all

  Bridge

  However far the dark goes on beyond the window pane Somebody's watching over you until the light comes back again

  Chorus

  Carol, the night is only warmth wrapped tight around you now Nothing can reach you here, no peril waits beyond this wall Rest easy, Carol, let the ember show you how Sleep is just a gentle keeping, softest place of all

  Outro

  The soot will settle softer still before the morning comes And you'll wake safe as ever, held by all this quiet love
