Verse 1

Rain is tapping gently on the window by your bed Every drop is singing that it's time to close your eyes Yellow lights are melting into puddles down the road Casper, you are cosy while the soft world drifts and sighs

Pre-chorus

Nothing in the dark tonight can reach where you are curled Every little sound outside is turning into rest Let the hush come closer as it wraps you from the world

Chorus

Casper, close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you Nothing but the rain out there and nothing you must do Casper, you are held here, safe and warm the whole night through Sleep is coming softly, and it's bringing you right through

Verse 2

Streetlights blur to golden circles smudged along the glass Nothing hurries in the dark, the night moves slow and kind Somewhere out beyond the window minutes gently pass But here you're wrapped in stillness, nothing troubling your mind

Chorus

Casper, close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you Nothing but the rain out there and nothing you must do Casper, you are held here, safe and warm the whole night through Sleep is coming softly, and it's bringing you right through

Every drop that falls is just the night humming you a tune Rest inside the sound of it, there's nowhere else to be

Verse 1

The ash slides soft and slow along the glowing coal tonight Falling without any sound at all, the way that soft things do And somewhere in that quiet fall there's warmth still holding tight That warmth is you, Casper, curled up safe and through and through

Pre-chorus

Let the fire settle low and let your breathing settle too Nothing in the dark tonight has any claim on you Close your eyes now, feel the hush that's gathering round you

Chorus

Casper, Casper, sleep is coming soft and slow Every ember dims a little more so you can rest Nothing here will ever let the cold night touch you, Casper You are held, you are warm, you are so deeply blessed

Verse 2

The bricks around the fire keep the whole small room from harm Standing steady while the flickers fade to orange, then to grey You are held the same way, tucked in safe and just as warm Nothing needs to hurry now, there's nowhere else to be tonight

Bridge

Every glowing thing must dim to let the sleeping start Let it dim then, slow and gentle, right against your heart

Chorus

Casper, Casper, sleep is coming soft and slow Every ember dims a little more so you can rest Nothing here will ever let the cold night touch you, Casper You are held, you are warm, you are so deeply blessed

Outro

The ash lies soft and settled now where the glow has gone to rest Sleep the same way, Casper, gentle, held, and blessed

Verse 1

Rain is drawing soft little rivers down the glass beside you Amber light keeps rocking gently, warm as it can find you Nothing out there needs your notice, nothing needs your care Sleep is waiting just beyond you, quiet as it eyes you

Pre-chorus

Every hum beneath you says that you are held tonight Every light that passes over means you're safe and right So let your eyes grow heavy, let the whole world blur and fold

Chorus

Casper, close your eyes now, let the amber wrap you slow Nothing in this whole wide night will let you go You are held here gentle, warm as embers glow Casper, drift to sleep now, that's all you need to know

Verse 2

Somewhere past the window colours smear and softly bend Every little shudder rocks you nearer to the end of day You don't have to hold on, you don't have to understand Just let the warm light carry you the whole quiet way

Chorus

Casper, close your eyes now, let the amber wrap you slow Nothing in this whole wide night will let you go You are held here gentle, warm as embers glow Casper, drift to sleep now, that's all you need to know

Bridge

Whatever hums you onward, wherever you may roam You are already resting, you are already home

Chorus

Casper, close your eyes now, let the amber wrap you slow Nothing in this whole wide night will let you go You are held here gentle, warm as embers glow Casper, drift to sleep now, that's all you need to know

Outro

Rain still traces rivers, soft as breath upon the glass Sleep now, little Casper, let the amber light hold fast
