  Verse 1

  A short white wick is glowing low inside its clay saucer bowl Steady and small it holds the dark like something it can tame Nothing tonight will ever touch the warmth that keeps you whole And nothing in this quiet house will ever dim your flame

  Chorus

  Clarence, the night is soft and low and made to hold you well You are the warmth this house was built around, so calm, so clear Sleep now, Clarence, safe inside the hush of evening's spell Nothing can reach you here, my Clarence, nothing goes near

  Verse 2

  The little flame won't waver even when the wind creeps by the door Steady as a promise made and kept without a single sound You are held the way that small light's held above the floor Wrapped in something gentle that will never touch the ground

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the day slide off like water from your hands Nothing waits beyond this room but morning soft and slow Rest here now while everything around you understands

  Chorus

  Clarence, the night is soft and low and made to hold you well You are the warmth this house was built around, so calm, so clear Sleep now, Clarence, safe inside the hush of evening's spell Nothing can reach you here, my Clarence, nothing goes near

  Bridge

  Even when the little flame has burned down soft and slow You will still be carried gently everywhere you go

  Chorus

  Clarence, the night is soft and low and made to hold you well You are the warmth this house was built around, so calm, so clear Sleep now, Clarence, safe inside the hush of evening's spell Nothing can reach you here, my Clarence, nothing goes near

  Outro

  The small white wick will keep its watch till morning finds the door You are the light this whole house waited for

  Verse 1

  The rain is tapping soft against the window pane tonight Each little drop is falling slow and settling out of sight Nothing in the dark can reach you here You are held so close and wrapped up tight

  Pre-chorus

  Every drop that falls is singing you to rest Something warm is holding you, so quiet, so unrehearsed Let your breathing slow and follow where it leads you

  Chorus

  Clarence, close your eyes, the night is soft and kind Nothing here will hurry you, there's all the time you'll find You are loved with such a calm and steady fragrance Clarence, drift along and leave the day behind

  Verse 2

  The glass is cool and every drop runs slow and clear Nothing in this room but breathing you can hear Sleep is just a river coming gently And you are safe and there is nothing here to fear

  Pre-chorus

  Every drop that falls is singing you to rest Something warm is holding you, so quiet, so unrehearsed Let your breathing slow and follow where it leads you

  Chorus

  Clarence, close your eyes, the night is soft and kind Nothing here will hurry you, there's all the time you'll find You are loved with such a calm and steady fragrance Clarence, drift along and leave the day behind

  Bridge

  Rest now, there is nothing you must carry or explain Only quiet, only you, only the falling rain

  Chorus

  Clarence, close your eyes, the night is soft and kind Nothing here will hurry you, there's all the time you'll find You are loved with such a calm and steady fragrance Clarence, drift along and leave the day behind

  Outro

  The rain has slowed to nothing but a whisper on the glass Sleep now, you are held here, and the night will gently pass

  Verse 1

  Watch the pale light drifting slowly over the wall above your bed It moves so gently, like a hand resting soft against your head Nothing in this room is asking anything of you tonight Only stillness, only breathing, only warmth and dimming light

  Chorus

  Clarence, close your eyes now, let the evening take its time There is nowhere you should be but here, held safe in this small line Clarence, hear how quiet all the house has grown around your bed Nothing but the light still moving gently over where you rest your head

  Verse 2

  Every little sound out there has folded up and gone to rest The whole wide dark is settling down like breath inside a chest You don't have to hold on tonight to anything at all Only watch the soft light climbing slowly up the plaster wall

  Pre-chorus

  The light keeps moving slower now, it barely seems to stir Somewhere between the waking world and sleep, a door left ajar Let your eyes grow heavy now, there's nothing you should fear

  Chorus

  Clarence, close your eyes now, let the evening take its time There is nowhere you should be but here, held safe in this small line Clarence, hear how quiet all the house has grown around your bed Nothing but the light still moving gently over where you rest your head

  Bridge

  You are held here, you are wanted, you are warm beneath this glow Whatever came before tonight, you don't need to know Sleep will carry you so lightly, further than the light can reach

  Chorus

  Clarence, close your eyes now, let the evening take its time There is nowhere you should be but here, held safe in this small line Clarence, hear how quiet all the house has grown around your bed Nothing but the light still moving gently over where you rest your head

  Outro

  The light has almost reached the corner, softer than before Sleep now, little one, there's nothing waiting at the door
