  Verse 1

  Rain slides slow on the window by your bed tonight Every drop finds a path down to the sill Streetlamps blur into soft and golden light You are wrapped up warm and lying still

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere out there the whole wide world is turning Here in this room the hours move so slow Close your eyes now, let the quiet keep you glowing

  Chorus

  Dave, the night has come to hold you close Nothing out there can reach you here, my Dave Sleep is a boat and you're the one it's carrying Rest easy now, you're safe in every wave

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a light goes flickering down the street Somewhere the wind is humming low and long You don't need to hear it, you're tucked in so sweet Wrapped in the hush of a soft small song

  Bridge

  Let every worry drift like rain down glass Let the whole loud day just gently pass

  Chorus

  Dave, the night has come to hold you close Nothing out there can reach you here, my Dave Sleep is a boat and you're the one it's carrying Rest easy now, you're safe in every wave

  Outro

  The rain still slides down the glass so slow You are held here, and loved, wherever you go

  Verse 1

  The grey quilt loosens its threads across your little bed One soft strand at a time, unwinding by your head Sleepy houses hush and dim the last of the light Let it fall around you soft as everything unsaid

  Pre-chorus

  Every thread that slips away was holding something dear Wrapping you up tighter as the dark comes near So close your eyes, my love, and let me bring you here

  Chorus

  Dave, I will hold the warmth for you tonight Long after every candle dims its light Curled up safe where nothing needs to move You are the reason soft and still feels right

  Verse 2

  The wool unravels slow like breathing settling deep and low One loop returning gently to the place it used to know Nothing here will fray you, nothing here will go You are wrapped in something older than the snow

  Bridge

  Rest inside the quiet that the falling thread has made Nothing in this room will ever let you fade

  Chorus

  Dave, I will hold the warmth for you tonight Long after every candle dims its light Curled up safe where nothing needs to move You are the reason soft and still feels right

  Outro

  The last loose thread has settled soft across your sleeping chest Sleep now, Dave, you are the warmest thing I ever held to rest

  Verse 1

  A thin gold line is creeping underneath the door tonight It tells you someone's near and everything is safe and right The hallway hums so soft, the whole house breathes and settles down Close your eyes now, let the quiet gather all around

  Pre-chorus

  The floorboards creak so gently just outside your room Nothing in this house would ever bring you harm or gloom So let the hush roll in like water, slow and true

  Chorus

  Dave, the light is low and warm and spilling just for you Sleep now, little one, there's nothing you need to do Dave, you're held here safer than a stone inside a wall Rest inside this glow, it will not fade or fall

  Verse 2

  The night outside is wide but here the walls are close and kind Every shadow in this room has you upon its mind Rain is tapping soft against the window, keeping time Sleep will come and find you gentle, easy as a rhyme

  Pre-chorus

  The floorboards creak so gently just outside your room Nothing in this house would ever bring you harm or gloom So let the hush roll in like water, slow and true

  Chorus

  Dave, the light is low and warm and spilling just for you Sleep now, little one, there's nothing you need to do Dave, you're held here safer than a stone inside a wall Rest inside this glow, it will not fade or fall

  Bridge

  Nobody needs to tell the dark to keep its distance now It knows this room is loved, it knows just how You are the reason every light stays lit and low

  Chorus

  Dave, the light is low and warm and spilling just for you Sleep now, little one, there's nothing you need to do Dave, you're held here safer than a stone inside a wall Rest inside this glow, it will not fade or fall

  Outro

  The gold line under the door will still be there at dawn Sleep on, Dave, love was here before you and it carries on
