  Verse 1

  Far off wheels are humming low along the distant track Carrying the whole wide world away and never back You are wrapped in every soft and quiet thing tonight Nothing in the dark can touch this small and steady light

  Pre-chorus

  Every sound outside is turning into hush and hum Somewhere far the night train goes but you don't have to run Close your eyes and let the whole wide world grow still and calm

  Chorus

  Courtney, Courtney, sleep is calling soft and low There is nowhere warmer than the place you're bound to go Courtney, hold this quiet like a treasure in your hand Nothing in the dark tonight can touch where you now stand

  Verse 2

  Somewhere on a track a train is rolling on and on Yet the room stays warm and still until the coming dawn You are held here safely while the whole world drifts to sleep Nothing that you carry now is heavy yours to keep

  Bridge

  Let the far off rattle be a song that rocks you low Every gentle sound tonight was made to help you go

  Chorus

  Courtney, Courtney, sleep is calling soft and low There is nowhere warmer than the place you're bound to go Courtney, hold this quiet like a treasure in your hand Nothing in the dark tonight can touch where you now stand

  Outro

  Far off wheels are fading now to nothing but a hum Rest now, you are held here until the morning comes

  Verse 1

  The pale linen moves so gently against the open latch tonight Cool air drifts across the floor but never touches you Every small sound in the dark is only the house breathing You are held here closer than the curtain ever knew

  Pre-chorus

  The night has folded itself around this little room Nothing out there needs to reach you where you lie So let your eyes grow heavy as the light begins to dim

  Chorus

  Courtney, the dark is only a blanket pulled up high Sleep is a boat that carries you soft and slow Nothing tonight will come to trouble your quiet sky Courtney, you are the warmest thing this house will know

  Verse 2

  The latch stays loose and lets the cool night wander in But you are wrapped in something warmer than any thread Somewhere the wind is moving through a field you'll never see While you are safe and certain in the shape of your own bed

  Bridge

  Every breath you take is small and even as a tide Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to wake There is no corner of this dark that isn't on your side

  Chorus

  Courtney, the dark is only a blanket pulled up high Sleep is a boat that carries you soft and slow Nothing tonight will come to trouble your quiet sky Courtney, you are the warmest thing this house will know

  Outro

  The linen settles still against the quiet latch once more And you are held as gently as the night holds every star

  Verse 1

  Somewhere past the door a slow clock keeps its steady beat Counting out the minutes while you settle in the sheet The hallway light is dim and low and doesn't reach your bed This whole house breathes slower now, so calm and warm and sweet

  Pre-chorus

  Every tick that echoes down is carrying you home Nothing in the dark tonight will leave you here alone So let your tired eyes close soft as this old house grows still

  Chorus

  Courtney, the night has folded gently round your little bed There's nowhere safer in this world to lay your sleepy head Courtney, you're the reason every quiet hour feels so bright Hush now, let the ticking carry you through the night

  Verse 2

  The door stays open just a crack to let the soft light in Nothing needs to hurry now, no reason to begin Somewhere far away that clock keeps ticking, slow and low And under all that quiet you're the softest thing I've seen

  Chorus

  Courtney, the night has folded gently round your little bed There's nowhere safer in this world to lay your sleepy head Courtney, you're the reason every quiet hour feels so bright Hush now, let the ticking carry you through the night

  Bridge

  Every tick is just a small and steady kind of love Falling soft as feathers drifting down from up above You don't need to listen, only rest and drift away

  Chorus

  Courtney, the night has folded gently round your little bed There's nowhere safer in this world to lay your sleepy head Courtney, you're the reason every quiet hour feels so bright Hush now, let the ticking carry you through the night

  Outro

  Far down the hall that steady ticking softly fades to rest Sleep now, you are held, you are the house's dearest guest
