  Verse 1

  Feather shapes are drifting past the frosted windowpane Soft as breath and quiet as the falling of the light Overhead the old floor creaks its slow and gentle refrain And nothing in this house would ever give you a fright

  Chorus

  Edgar, Edgar, close your eyes and let the dark be kind Every shadow in this room is watching over you Rest here, Edgar, with the whole wide night behind There is nothing that this quiet will not carry you through

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the glass the winter wind is turning slow Wrapping round the house the way my arms are round you now Nothing that is out there ever needs to come or go Only sleep is asking for your small and tired brow

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the creaking be a lullaby up above Let the feather shadows settle like they're settling into love And drift now on the sound of every quiet thing you're made of

  Chorus

  Edgar, Edgar, close your eyes and let the dark be kind Every shadow in this room is watching over you Rest here, Edgar, with the whole wide night behind There is nothing that this quiet will not carry you through

  Bridge

  You are held here safer than the softest snow could fall Warmer than the breath that fogs the glass along the sill Nothing in the dark tonight is bigger than you at all

  Chorus

  Edgar, Edgar, close your eyes and let the dark be kind Every shadow in this room is watching over you Rest here, Edgar, with the whole wide night behind There is nothing that this quiet will not carry you through

  Outro

  The feathers settle now, and so do you, so still, so slow Sleep, Edgar, sleep, and let the whole house hum you low

  Verse 1

  Moonlight rests on the wet cabbage leaves out past the door empty pots stand in a row, quiet as a held breath before but here in the warm you are wrapped soft and low nothing outside needs to know where you go

  Chorus

  Edgar, Edgar, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind the whole garden's gone to sleep and left its hush behind you are held here, you are warm here, nothing needs to stir Edgar, the night was always going to be for you and her

  Verse 2

  Silver sits along the leaf edge, soft and hardly there drifting slow like it was drawn by careful, patient care you breathe easy, you breathe slower, sinking into deep this is how the whole wide garden learns to keep its sleep

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere past the window glass the cold has lost its bite every empty pot is only waiting out the night and you are drifting, drifting, further into light

  Chorus

  Edgar, Edgar, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind the whole garden's gone to sleep and left its hush behind you are held here, you are warm here, nothing needs to stir Edgar, the night was always going to be for you and her

  Bridge

  No one is counting the hours you take to fall hush moves like water and settles soft on us all you don't need to answer, you don't need to try just let the quiet carry you, let the hours slide by

  Chorus

  Edgar, Edgar, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind the whole garden's gone to sleep and left its hush behind you are held here, you are warm here, nothing needs to stir Edgar, the night was always going to be for you and her

  Outro

  Somewhere the leaves still shine, holding their small share of light sleep now, you are already so loved tonight

  Verse 1

  Droplets are running down the dark and quiet pane tonight Slow little rivers catching just the last soft light Under the window your blanket waits folded and warm And you are the reason this whole room feels right

  Pre-chorus

  The house has gone gentle, every sound has learned to hush The dark outside is soft now, nothing left to rush So let your small breath slow and follow where the quiet leads

  Chorus

  Edgar, the night is only holding you tonight Close your eyes and let the hours drift out of sight Somewhere a candle keeps its low and steady glow And Edgar, you are safe here, you are held just right

  Verse 2

  The rain keeps tracing letters that only the glass can read Falling so slowly, taking all the time it needs Wrapped in wool and stillness you are warmer than the storm And nothing in the dark tonight will touch where you sleep

  Chorus

  Edgar, the night is only holding you tonight Close your eyes and let the hours drift out of sight Somewhere a candle keeps its low and steady glow And Edgar, you are safe here, you are held just right

  Bridge

  Every drop upon the window finds its own way down Small and sure and gentle, never any rush or sound You can rest the same way, easy, slow and free

  Chorus

  Edgar, the night is only holding you tonight Close your eyes and let the hours drift out of sight Somewhere a candle keeps its low and steady glow And Edgar, you are safe here, you are held just right

  Outro

  The rain has settled softly on the folded wool below Sleep now, Edgar, the whole dark night is gentle, and so slow
