  Verse 1

  Far off metal wheels are clacking soft along the tracks tonight Curtains sway a little dance where the window meets the dark Every sound out there is turning gentle in the fading light Nothing in this whole wide world can ever dim your spark

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the distant train sing you further into rest Let the swaying curtain fold you into shadow soft and slow Close your eyes, you're held so close, you're safe here, you're the best

  Chorus

  Constance, the night is holding you gently in its hand Nothing out there in the dark can ever touch your chance Sleep now, my Constance, safe as anyone can stand Constance, you are steady as the softest slowest dance

  Verse 2

  The tracks run on for miles but they can't carry you away Only lull you deeper into dreaming, calm and slow The curtain breathes beside you like it's guarding where you lay There is nowhere safer for you, and nowhere else to go

  Bridge

  Every clack that fades to nothing leaves the room more still Every breath you take is soft as moonlight on the sill

  Chorus

  Constance, the night is holding you gently in its hand Nothing out there in the dark can ever touch your chance Sleep now, my Constance, safe as anyone can stand Constance, you are steady as the softest slowest dance

  Outro

  Somewhere far the tracks go quiet and the curtain settles still You are held here, always, gently, you are loved and you always will

  Verse 1

  A small flame bends but never breaks its steady, patient glow The wax runs slow around the thread, in no hurry to let go That is how this love was always meant to move You are held the way that warm light holds a room

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the day dissolve like breath on glass The dark outside can't reach you here, so let it drift and pass Every hush is building to the words I need you to know

  Chorus

  Constance, sleep now, you were never left to chance Something steady chose to stay and hold its quiet stance Every flicker of this house leans warm around your rest Constance, you're the light this whole night wants to protect

  Verse 2

  The saucer holds the melting wax the way my arms hold you Nothing spills, nothing is lost, it only settles into new Soft and slow, the shape it finds is always kind You are safe inside the shape this small light leaves behind

  Chorus

  Constance, sleep now, you were never left to chance Something steady chose to stay and hold its quiet stance Every flicker of this house leans warm around your rest Constance, you're the light this whole night wants to protect

  Bridge

  Let the small flame breathe for you while your own breath slows No sound but the rocking chair, no reason left to fight the doze Whatever the day asked of you, it can wait outside till morning

  Chorus

  Constance, sleep now, you were never left to chance Something steady chose to stay and hold its quiet stance Every flicker of this house leans warm around your rest Constance, you're the light this whole night wants to protect

  Outro

  The flame breathes low now, easy, sure it will not be forgotten Sleep, small light, the wax has pooled and settled into morning

  Verse 1

  Leaf shadows drift across the hood where you lie still and warm Softly the branches bend to keep you sheltered from the storm Your breathing slows to match the sway of every gentle limb Nothing tonight can reach you here, no need to fear the dim

  Pre-chorus

  Quiet settles deeper than the hush of falling light Close your eyes and let the dark feel soft instead of tight Somewhere near, a steady hand is watching over your night

  Chorus

  Constance, Constance, rest here safe with me Nothing but the dark and the sway of a tree Every little shadow is a friend you can trust Sleep now, little Constance, there is no one you must

  Verse 2

  Light moves slow across the fabric, patient as a passing chance Even shadows seem to pause and settle into their own dance You are held here closer than the hush that wraps the trees Nothing in this quiet hour will ever let you freeze

  Pre-chorus

  Quiet settles deeper than the hush of falling light Close your eyes and let the dark feel soft instead of tight Somewhere near, a steady hand is watching over your night

  Chorus

  Constance, Constance, rest here safe with me Nothing but the dark and the sway of a tree Every little shadow is a friend you can trust Sleep now, little Constance, there is no one you must

  Bridge

  Hush now, there is nothing waiting past this gentle shade Every worry of the day has already softly fade

  Chorus

  Constance, Constance, rest here safe with me Nothing but the dark and the sway of a tree Every little shadow is a friend you can trust Sleep now, little Constance, there is no one you must

  Outro

  Let the branches keep their watch while the shadows softly roam Sleep now, little Constance, you are already home
