  Verse 1

  The last of the fire is settling soft and slow Grey ash is curling down where the warm light used to glow Nothing in this room is asking you to stay awake Every little sound tonight is only for your sake

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the quiet start to climb Feel how gently everything is folding into time Here is where the whole wide night begins to lean

  Chorus

  Cleo, the dark is only a blanket pulled up high Cleo, there is nothing waiting that could make you cry You are held the way the embers hold their glow Warm and low and safe as anything I know

  Verse 2

  The grate breathes out its heat like a slow and steady song You can rest inside that sound the whole night long Nothing has to hurry, nothing has to end Sleep is just the dark deciding to be your friend

  Chorus

  Cleo, the dark is only a blanket pulled up high Cleo, there is nothing waiting that could make you cry You are held the way the embers hold their glow Warm and low and safe as anything I know

  Bridge

  Somewhere past the window the whole world settles too Every quiet thing tonight is dimming down like you Let your breathing slow to match the fading light

  Chorus

  Cleo, the dark is only a blanket pulled up high Cleo, there is nothing waiting that could make you cry You are held the way the embers hold their glow Warm and low and safe as anything I know

  Outro

  The ash falls soft and settles at the bottom of the grate Sleep falls soft on you now, and I will gladly wait

  Verse 1

  Yellow light slides past the frosted glass so softly now watching the whole wide world go quiet just for you nothing out there needs to wake you, nothing knows how rest here beneath the hush that settles soft as dew

  Pre-chorus

  The window holds its breath and lets the evening in hushing every corner where the shadows used to roam and somewhere underneath your breathing, warm within

  Chorus

  Cleo, the night is only light that means no harm close your eyes and let it carry you so slow every passing glow is here to keep you warm sleep now, little Cleo, safe in all you know

  Verse 2

  The empty street outside is humming its low lullaby glass and glow and quiet folding soft around this room nothing in the dark tonight will make you cry you are held here closer than the hush, than the moon

  Pre-chorus

  The window holds its breath and lets the evening in hushing every corner where the shadows used to roam and somewhere underneath your breathing, warm within

  Chorus

  Cleo, the night is only light that means no harm close your eyes and let it carry you so slow every passing glow is here to keep you warm sleep now, little Cleo, safe in all you know

  Bridge

  Nothing passing by will ever pass you over you are held so gently, you are never far from love

  Chorus

  Cleo, the night is only light that means no harm close your eyes and let it carry you so slow every passing glow is here to keep you warm sleep now, little Cleo, safe in all you know

  A slow vibraphone lullaby for winding down at bedtime, built around one small woollen sock left waiting on the top step, and the steady love that never stops watching over Cleo.

  Verse 1

  One small sock is resting alone on the top of the stair Waiting there so patiently, soft in the quiet air Nobody thought to carry it back to where it belongs But you are held and gathered in, safe from anywhere

  Chorus

  Cleo, the house breathes slow and the hallway light turns low Every window's settling now, easy and soft and slow You are the warmest thing in this whole sleeping home Cleo, wherever you drift, that's where I'll always go

  Verse 2

  The blankets are heavy and warm like a hush over you Down the hall the quiet keeps watch the whole night through Somewhere a sock waits patient for morning to find it again And I will be just as patient, waiting near you too

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the ceiling turn to sky Let the day and all its noise go drifting by Something soft is holding on and humming you to

  Chorus

  Cleo, the house breathes slow and the hallway light turns low Every window's settling now, easy and soft and slow You are the warmest thing in this whole sleeping home Cleo, wherever you drift, that's where I'll always go

  Bridge

  Nothing gets left behind here, not a sock and not you Every small forgotten thing finds its way home too Sleep now, you are wanted more than you'll ever know

  Chorus

  Cleo, the house breathes slow and the hallway light turns low Every window's settling now, easy and soft and slow You are the warmest thing in this whole sleeping home Cleo, wherever you drift, that's where I'll always go

  Outro

  Morning will come soft and find that sock still on the stair And find you just as loved as you were sleeping there
