  Verse 1

  A thin gold line comes creeping under the door tonight and lies so softly down across the striped carpet light it does not need to travel far to find your little bed just far enough to rest its glow beside your sleepy head

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing in this house is moving, nothing needs to stir only breathing slow and even, only warmth and fur and a hush that wraps around you like it's waiting just for

  Chorus

  Carole, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind there is nothing in the shadows, nothing left to find you are held here, you are steady, you are wrapped up tight Carole, you are certain, you are safe tonight

  Verse 2

  Somewhere down the hallway something small and gold still glows a promise that the morning always finds you, always knows and until it comes to greet you there is nothing you should fear just the quiet and the softness and the ones who love you near

  Chorus

  Carole, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind there is nothing in the shadows, nothing left to find you are held here, you are steady, you are wrapped up tight Carole, you are certain, you are safe tonight

  Bridge

  Sleep is just a boat that carries you so gently through and every star above is standing watch to look for you

  Chorus

  Carole, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind there is nothing in the shadows, nothing left to find you are held here, you are steady, you are wrapped up tight Carole, you are certain, you are safe tonight

  Outro

  That thin gold line will still be there when morning comes to call so rest now in its quiet glow and let the whole night fall

  Verse 1

  Streetlamps slide orange over the straps where you rest your head every one of them leaning down to watch you instead soft light moving, never in a hurry to leave you are carried through the dark like something precious and never dead

  Pre-chorus

  Nobody needs to talk now, the wheels are humming low your eyes are getting heavy though you fight to keep the glow hold on a little longer, we are almost there, we go

  Chorus

  Carole, the night is soft and it is only carrying you home under the amber lights you never have to be alone Carole, sleep is coming gentle, it will take you as its own nothing in this dark can touch you, nothing here has ever grown

  Verse 2

  Every light we pass is leaving without a single sound warm and orange, brief and easy, spinning slowly round you are held here safer than a secret kept from harm this whole quiet world is turning softly, gathered close around

  Pre-chorus

  Nobody needs to talk now, the wheels are humming low your eyes are getting heavy though you fight to keep the glow hold on a little longer, we are almost there, we go

  Chorus

  Carole, the night is soft and it is only carrying you home under the amber lights you never have to be alone Carole, sleep is coming gentle, it will take you as its own nothing in this dark can touch you, nothing here has ever grown

  Bridge

  Rest your head against the warmth that never wants to fade you are the reason every light along this road was made

  Chorus

  Carole, the night is soft and it is only carrying you home under the amber lights you never have to be alone Carole, sleep is coming gentle, it will take you as its own nothing in this dark can touch you, nothing here has ever grown

  Outro

  Let the orange lights go sliding while you drift and settle deep you are already halfway into the gentlest kind of sleep

  Verse 1

  Somewhere a tap is letting go of water, slow and warm Falling soft into the white and waiting bowl below Nothing in this house is hurrying tonight, nothing plans to harm You are held here safer than the gentlest thing I know

  Chorus

  Carole, the night is only warmth and quiet falling round you Close your eyes and let the hours drip away like rain Nothing out there in the dark has ever truly found you Carole, you are safe here, you will always be again

  Verse 2

  Every drop that falls tonight is falling soft as breathing Filling up the basin slow the way your sleep will fill Nothing in this room has any reason for its leaving Everything is staying close and everything is still

  Pre-chorus

  Listen to the water finding its own gentle way down Feel how nothing rushes here, how nothing needs to hurry There is only warmth to hold you, soft and round

  Chorus

  Carole, the night is only warmth and quiet falling round you Close your eyes and let the hours drip away like rain Nothing out there in the dark has ever truly found you Carole, you are safe here, you will always be again

  Bridge

  Sleep the way the water sleeps once it has come to rest Held inside the white and rounded quiet of the bowl

  Chorus

  Carole, the night is only warmth and quiet falling round you Close your eyes and let the hours drip away like rain Nothing out there in the dark has ever truly found you Carole, you are safe here, you will always be again

  Outro

  Somewhere that tap has slowed to almost nothing now, and stopped Sleep on, Carole, warm and certain, held till morning drops
