  Verse 1

  The window's open just a little to let the night breathe in And the radiator hums you a warm and steady tune Somewhere past the curtain the whole wide world has gone still But you are held here safely, wrapped up beneath the moon

  Pre-chorus

  Let your small hands rest now, let every worry go quiet Feel how the warmth is rising slow to meet the cool night air There is nothing waiting for you but sleep and morning light

  Chorus

  Claire, my love, the dark is only soft tonight Close your eyes and drift where dreams are always fair Nothing here will hurt you, everything's alright Sleep now, Claire, you're held in every kind of care

  Verse 2

  The linen sways so gently like it's rocking you to rest Barely lifting, barely moving, just breathing with the breeze Every little sound outside is settling down to nothing And you are sinking softer than the hush of falling leaves

  Bridge

  I will stay right here while the whole house goes to sleep Watching over you so quietly, a promise I will keep

  Chorus

  Claire, my love, the dark is only soft tonight Close your eyes and drift where dreams are always fair Nothing here will hurt you, everything's alright Sleep now, Claire, you're held in every kind of care

  Outro

  The window stays open just enough to let the morning in And you will wake up loved, exactly as you have always been

  Verse 1

  A small gold light is glowing soft against the wall and it will stay awake to watch you as you fall the door stands open just a little, letting warmth come through so nothing in the dark tonight can trouble you

  Pre-chorus

  Every shadow in this room has gone and lost its teeth the whole wide house is breathing slow beneath your sheet so close your eyes and let the quiet carry you along

  Chorus

  Claire, the night is only asking you to rest Claire, you are held here, you are safe, you are blessed nothing waits beyond that door but hallways soft and bare sleep now, little one, there's nowhere calmer, Claire

  Verse 2

  The bulb burns low and steady like a patient little sun it never blinks, it never leaves before you're done and if you stir and find the world a little strange and grey you'll see that gentle glow and know you're safe to stay

  Chorus

  Claire, the night is only asking you to rest Claire, you are held here, you are safe, you are blessed nothing waits beyond that door but hallways soft and bare sleep now, little one, there's nowhere calmer, Claire

  Somewhere past that door the whole house settles too every quiet room is only keeping watch for you

  Chorus

  Claire, the night is only asking you to rest Claire, you are held here, you are safe, you are blessed nothing waits beyond that door but hallways soft and bare sleep now, little one, there's nowhere calmer, Claire

  The light stays low and gold against the painted wall and it will still be glowing after sleep has taken you, Claire

  Verse 1

  Somewhere a tap is dripping soft into a silver bowl and every little sound tonight is here to soothe, not scare the house breathes low around you, settling into rest and you are held so gently, safe beyond compare

  Pre-chorus

  The grey light fades to nothing at the window pane hush now, let the day dissolve like sugar in the rain and drift where soft and slow becomes the only way

  Chorus

  Claire, the dark is only kindness wearing night's own coat every star above is just a promise we can share sleep now, little Claire, there's nothing here to fear the whole wide world can wait while you rest without a care

  Verse 2

  The water finds its rhythm, dripping slow and sure and true like a heartbeat keeping time with breath upon the air nothing here will hurry you, nothing here will chase you can let the quiet hold you, you can let it lay you there

  Bridge

  Every drop that falls tonight is only saying stay stay soft, stay small, stay wrapped in warmth till day

  Chorus

  Claire, the dark is only kindness wearing night's own coat every star above is just a promise we can share sleep now, little Claire, there's nothing here to fear the whole wide world can wait while you rest without a care

  Outro

  Somewhere still that water falls, so soft you'd hardly know sleep now, gentle Claire, and let the whole night go
