Read the lyricsHide the lyrics
Verse 1
The brass hook holds the coat as the room turns soft and grey Its shadow leans across the stripes and slowly starts to sway You watch it drift from the corner where the quiet likes to grow And your eyes get heavier now with the hush of things gone slow
Chorus
David, David, the whole house breathes for you Every wall leans in close and holds the warmth you're waking to Nothing here can touch you while the night stands at the door David, David, you were loved before
Verse 2
The hook has held its coat there through a hundred fading days Steady as a promise that never looks away It doesn't need the sunlight to keep its gentle place And I don't need the morning to still see your calm little face
Pre-chorus
So let the shadow lengthen as the lamp begins to dim Let the striped wall soften into something warm and slim Somewhere past the edges of the dark, your name is waiting there
Chorus
David, David, the whole house breathes for you Every wall leans in close and holds the warmth you're waking to Nothing here can touch you while the night stands at the door David, David, you were loved before
Bridge
Rest inside the stillness that the hook has always kept Nothing moves to trouble you while the whole wide house has slept
Chorus
David, David, the whole house breathes for you Every wall leans in close and holds the warmth you're waking to Nothing here can touch you while the night stands at the door David, David, you were loved before
Outro
The hook will hold the shadow till the morning finds the door And you'll wake up as loved as you were the night before

Verse 1
Heavy wool socks tread soft across the old creaking floor Carrying warmth to the place where you finally rest Every small sound in this house is a sound you adore Because you know you are safe, you know you are blessed
Pre-chorus
The radiator hums low like it's singing along Nothing tonight needs to hurry or reach for the light Just breathe, little one, while I finish this song
Chorus
David, the whole house leans in close to keep you warm Nothing can touch you, nothing can bring you harm David, I'll stand by the radiator till you're deep in sleep Quiet as socks on the floorboards, this love that I keep
Verse 2
The wood underfoot gives a whisper with each gentle step Like it knows how to hold what is precious and small Sleep pulls you under so soft you don't notice you've slept And I'll stay near the warmth till the hush covers all
Chorus
David, the whole house leans in close to keep you warm Nothing can touch you, nothing can bring you harm David, I'll stand by the radiator till you're deep in sleep Quiet as socks on the floorboards, this love that I keep
Bridge
Let the night settle soft as the sound of my feet Nothing to chase, nowhere further to roam You are the reason this house feels complete
Chorus
David, the whole house leans in close to keep you warm Nothing can touch you, nothing can bring you harm David, I'll stand by the radiator till you're deep in sleep Quiet as socks on the floorboards, this love that I keep
Outro
The floor stops its creaking once you have drifted so deep Warm and unshaken, exactly where love wants you kept
Embers Low
Rocking chair waltz · Waltz · Rocking · SlowA slow rocking chair waltz for settling David to sleep, built around the soft glow of embers burning down safe behind their mesh.
Read the lyricsHide the lyrics
Verse 1
The fire is turning gentle, easing down to rest Soft grey ash is falling, quiet as a held breath Nothing in this room can reach you now And you are held here safer than the rest
Pre-chorus
Close your eyes and let the warm light hold you Nothing in the dark tonight will fold you I am here to keep you safe till morning comes
Chorus
David, sleep is calling soft and low Every ember dims the way it ought to go Rest inside the quiet that I gave you David, let the whole wide night be slow
Verse 2
The embers glow a colour only night can make Something warm and steady that will never shake You are wrapped in more than blankets now And nothing here will ask you to awake
Pre-chorus
Close your eyes and let the warm light hold you Nothing in the dark tonight will fold you I am here to keep you safe till morning comes
Chorus
David, sleep is calling soft and low Every ember dims the way it ought to go Rest inside the quiet that I gave you David, let the whole wide night be slow
Bridge
However far this small light travels down It leaves you warmer than it ever found you You are the reason this whole house stays gentle You are the calm this quiet night has saved
Chorus
David, sleep is calling soft and low Every ember dims the way it ought to go Rest inside the quiet that I gave you David, let the whole wide night be slow
Outro
The last of the ash is settling soft and slow Sleep now, David, safe in all this glow
