  Verse 1

  The window wears a frost as soft as sugar in the night and somewhere past the glass a small light flickers gold and slow that quiet orange glow is only saying its goodnight so let your breathing follow it, so easy and so low

  Pre-chorus

  The whole wide dark is folding down to just this little room and every flicker outside is settling like a hush so close your eyes and drift along before the quiet

  Chorus

  Dana, the night has wrapped you soft in amber light nothing can find you now, nothing can do you harm my Dana, the world outside has gone all still and bright sleep here where it is warm, safe here where it is warm

  Verse 2

  The frost keeps drawing patterns nobody has to see a hundred tiny stars that melt before the morning comes and every light outside is humming just for you and me a lullaby of orange while the whole street quietly hums

  Chorus

  Dana, the night has wrapped you soft in amber light nothing can find you now, nothing can do you harm my Dana, the world outside has gone all still and bright sleep here where it is warm, safe here where it is warm

  Bridge

  Even the glass has grown too tired to let the cold get through and every flicker out there only glows because of you

  Chorus

  Dana, the night has wrapped you soft in amber light nothing can find you now, nothing can do you harm my Dana, the world outside has gone all still and bright sleep here where it is warm, safe here where it is warm

  Outro

  The frost will still be there when you wake to greet the morning but for now the light is low and you are loved and sleeping

  Verse 1

  Somewhere the tracks are clicking soft through the sleeping fields far beyond the village where the last light yields the world keeps turning gently while you close your eyes and every quiet mile tonight to you it kneels

  Chorus

  Dana, Dana, rest your head down slow the whole wide night is humming just for you, Dana nothing out there means you harm hush now, let the dark be calm and let it go

  Verse 2

  The distant wheels are singing low along the line far beyond the fields where the stars quietly align you are wrapped up warmer than the night could ever be and nothing in the dark will cross that gentle sign

  Pre-chorus

  Let the far off engine hum you something true that you are loved beyond what any words could do and sleep is only night's own way of holding you

  Chorus

  Dana, Dana, rest your head down slow the whole wide night is humming just for you, Dana nothing out there means you harm hush now, let the dark be calm and let it go

  Bridge

  Every mile that train rolls on is one more mile of peace the fields breathe slow and let the small hours cease you are the reason this whole night feels safe and still

  Chorus

  Dana, Dana, rest your head down slow the whole wide night is humming just for you, Dana nothing out there means you harm hush now, let the dark be calm and let it go

  Outro

  Far off now the tracks have gone so quiet and so slow you are held here safely, and it's time to let go

  Verse 1

  White cotton lifts so slowly at the window near your bed Somewhere a quiet breeze is learning how to sing you down Your breathing finds the rhythm of the curtain's soft, slow spread Nothing in this whole wide house can wear away that crown

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the darkness hold you soft and slow Every worry of the day has somewhere far to go Feel the hush that's gathering to carry you below

  Chorus

  Dana, sleep is calling gently, like a tide upon the shore Rest here now, my little Hannah, wrapped in all this love and more Dana, dreams are waiting for you just beyond that quiet door You are safe here, always treasured, that has never changed before

  Verse 2

  Moonlight finds the cotton fabric, paints it silver, soft and pale Underneath these gentle covers, you can let your worries fail Every star tonight is watching, none will let this warmth grow stale You're the reason this whole evening feels like such a tender tale

  Chorus

  Dana, sleep is calling gently, like a tide upon the shore Rest here now, my little Hannah, wrapped in all this love and more Dana, dreams are waiting for you just beyond that quiet door You are safe here, always treasured, that has never changed before

  Bridge

  Hold this stillness like a promise nothing here will ever break No dawn arrives too early for the rest that you will take

  Chorus

  Dana, sleep is calling gently, like a tide upon the shore Rest here now, my little Hannah, wrapped in all this love and more Dana, dreams are waiting for you just beyond that quiet door You are safe here, always treasured, that has never changed before

  Outro

  Somewhere still that white cloth drifts on air both calm and slow You are held here, always, always, wherever you may go
