  Verse 1

  Watch how the last of the fire folds soft into grey Nothing that burns has to burn through the whole of the night Close your small hands and let go of the noise of the day You are the warmth that stays curled in the low fading light

  Pre-chorus

  Down go the sparks, one by one, without any sound Quiet is只 a blanket that settles all around Hush now, my love, sleep is coming to lay you down

  Chorus

  Cheryl, the hearth holds its heat long after the flame Sleep is the ember that glows though the fire grows still Nothing can touch you while morning is learning your name Cheryl, I'll keep you as safe as the grate on the sill

  Verse 2

  Iron stands quiet and black round the ash going soft Nothing will shift you from here, from this warm little bed Somewhere outside it grows cold, but you're kept from the loss Rest, and the whole of the dark will float over your head

  Pre-chorus

  Down go the sparks, one by one, without any sound Quiet is just a blanket that settles all around Hush now, my love, sleep is coming to lay you down

  Chorus

  Cheryl, the hearth holds its heat long after the flame Sleep is the ember that glows though the fire grows still Nothing can touch you while morning is learning your name Cheryl, I'll keep you as safe as the grate on the sill

  Bridge

  Even the softest grey ash was a fire once bright You will be carried like that through the whole of the night

  Chorus

  Cheryl, the hearth holds its heat long after the flame Sleep is the ember that glows though the fire grows still Nothing can touch you while morning is learning your name Cheryl, I'll keep you as safe as the grate on the sill

  Outro

  Somewhere the ash settles down into stillness and rest Sleep now, my Cheryl, held warm in the dark like the best

  Verse 1

  The lawn chair sits so still beneath the lilac tree tonight Its damp seat holding on to all the fading evening light But you are warm and dry and tucked in safe beside me here So let the dark come soft and slow, there's nothing left to fear

  Chorus

  Cheryl, close your eyes now, let the quiet in Cheryl, you're the softest hush the night has ever seen Sleep is only love that's learned to hum a gentle tune And you are held so dearly underneath this rising moon

  Verse 2

  The branches lean together like they're whispering goodnight The rain has stopped but left the garden shining, silver bright And just like every drop that rests upon a sleeping leaf You carry all my quiet love, my calm, my sweet relief

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere past the window the whole wide world has slowed right down Every little worry has been gently laid to ground So let your breathing follow mine and drift where dreams are found

  Chorus

  Cheryl, close your eyes now, let the quiet in Cheryl, you're the softest hush the night has ever seen Sleep is only love that's learned to hum a gentle tune And you are held so dearly underneath this rising moon

  Bridge

  Nothing in this house will stir before the morning comes Only steady hearts and rain still humming soft as drums You are the warmest thing this quiet night has ever known

  Chorus

  Cheryl, close your eyes now, let the quiet in Cheryl, you're the softest hush the night has ever seen Sleep is only love that's learned to hum a gentle tune And you are held so dearly underneath this rising moon

  Outro

  The lawn chair waits out there for morning, damp and calm and still And you will wake up loved, exactly as you always will

  Verse 1

  The pale light is drifting slow across the wall tonight Sliding over corners it has always known so well You are curled up warm beneath the quilt and out of sight Safe inside this room where only gentle shadows dwell

  Pre-chorus

  Everything is settling now, the whole wide house grows still Nothing here can reach you, nothing wants to break this calm Close your eyes and let the hush come rolling in until

  Chorus

  Cheryl, Cheryl, rest your head and drift away Nothing waits outside that you should ever fear Cheryl, hush now, morning's not so far away I am right beside you, and I will stay right here

  Verse 2

  The wardrobe stands there quiet in the corner of the room Watching over you the way it always watches still Nothing in the shadows brings a single ounce of gloom Only soft and slow, the way the night begins to fill

  Chorus

  Cheryl, Cheryl, rest your head and drift away Nothing waits outside that you should ever fear Cheryl, hush now, morning's not so far away I am right beside you, and I will stay right here

  Bridge

  Let your breathing slow to match the ticking of the clock Every worry folds itself and quietly floats away

  Chorus

  Cheryl, Cheryl, rest your head and drift away Nothing waits outside that you should ever fear Cheryl, hush now, morning's not so far away I am right beside you, and I will stay right here

  Outro

  The light will still be sliding soft when morning comes around Sleep now, you are held here, safe and warm and sound
