  Verse 1

  Trailing soft below the rail where all your dreaming waits Something warm is gathered up to hold you while you rest Quiet falls in folds of grey across these old worn boards Sleep is close and you are safe behind these gentle gates

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the evening pull its blanket to your chin Every little sound tonight is turning into song And the dark is only waiting for you to drift in

  Chorus

  Diana, close your eyes, the night has come to keep you Nothing in this quiet house was ever built to hurt you Soft as wool against the floor, this calm was made for you Diana, you are loved so deep that sleep cannot outreach you

  Verse 2

  Somewhere near your feet the tassels settle into stillness Watching over you the way the old oak watches down Breathing slows to match the hush that settles on the household You were always going to be the softest thing in it

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the evening pull its blanket to your chin Every little sound tonight is turning into song And the dark is only waiting for you to drift in

  Chorus

  Diana, close your eyes, the night has come to keep you Nothing in this quiet house was ever built to hurt you Soft as wool against the floor, this calm was made for you Diana, you are loved so deep that sleep cannot outreach you

  Bridge

  Rest your small weight into mine, there is nowhere safer No one measures how you're loved, it simply stays and stays

  Chorus

  Diana, close your eyes, the night has come to keep you Nothing in this quiet house was ever built to hurt you Soft as wool against the floor, this calm was made for you Diana, you are loved so deep that sleep cannot outreach you

  Outro

  Somewhere near the floor the fringe lies still beneath the oak rail Sleep now, you are held here, and you always will be, always

  Verse 1

  A far yellow light is sweeping slow across the grey plaster above you It circles the room like it's checking that you are safe and warm Nothing out there can reach you now, wrapped up in this quiet hour You are held here so gently, safe from every passing storm

  Chorus

  Diana, the night is holding you soft and low Sleep is coming to carry you where the warm winds blow Close your eyes now, Diana, let the dark be kind You are the calmest thing I have ever known

  Verse 2

  The light keeps its slow watch, sweeping easy across the ceiling It never hurries, it never fades, it only turns and returns You breathe in time with its turning, small and steady and certain There is nothing in this whole night that you have to earn

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere far off a light keeps turning, patient and low and true It is only doing what I do when I watch over you So let your shoulders soften now, there is nowhere else to be but

  Chorus

  Diana, the night is holding you soft and low Sleep is coming to carry you where the warm winds blow Close your eyes now, Diana, let the dark be kind You are the calmest thing I have ever known

  Bridge

  However far that light travels, it always comes back round You are the safest kind of quiet I have ever found

  Chorus

  Diana, the night is holding you soft and low Sleep is coming to carry you where the warm winds blow Close your eyes now, Diana, let the dark be kind You are the calmest thing I have ever known

  Outro

  The light will keep on turning long after your eyes have closed You are loved past counting, Diana, all the way to morning

  Verse 1

  Somewhere in the hallway a brass heart swings so slow Counting out the minutes till the candle burns down low Every gentle tick tock says the night is kind to you And the dark you're scared of turns to something warm and true

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and listen to the calm inside the case Let the steady rhythm settle every worry in its place Feel it wrap around you like a soft and sure embrace

  Chorus

  Diana, sleep is holding you the way the pendulum swings Steady through the darkness till the morning light it brings Diana, you're the safest of a thousand precious things Rest inside the quiet where the humming choir sings

  Verse 2

  The mahogany is polished by a hundred sleepy years Keeping watch beside you, chasing off your smallest fears Nothing in the shadows here will ever cause you harm Only steady swinging keeping you forever warm

  Chorus

  Diana, sleep is holding you the way the pendulum swings Steady through the darkness till the morning light it brings Diana, you're the safest of a thousand precious things Rest inside the quiet where the humming choir sings

  Bridge

  Tick by tick the whole wide house is breathing slow with you Nothing here will hurry you, there's nothing you must do Just the gentle swinging, soft and sure and true

  Chorus

  Diana, sleep is holding you the way the pendulum swings Steady through the darkness till the morning light it brings Diana, you're the safest of a thousand precious things Rest inside the quiet where the humming choir sings

  Outro

  The brass heart keeps on swinging long after you have gone to rest Loving you more steadily than words could say it best
