  Verse 1

  Cotton curtains sway soft where the streetlight comes and goes Little breaths in the dark keep a rhythm slow and true Nothing out there can reach you, nobody that you know Only shadows and quiet, only me and you

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let your eyes grow heavy and low Every worry can wait till the morning light Close them soft, let the whole wide world go

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Edie, steady as the tide Nothing in this room will ever leave your side You're the calm I hold, the hush I keep inside Rest now, Edie, let the night be wide

  Verse 2

  Glass holds the glow of a lamp from down the street Warm against the cold that waits beyond the pane You are wrapped up tight from your head down to your feet Safe here in the dark while the whole world stays the same

  Bridge

  Nothing hurries here, no clock, no chasing light Just the slow hush of breathing, just the fold of night

  Chorus

  Sleep now, Edie, steady as the tide Nothing in this room will ever leave your side You're the calm I hold, the hush I keep inside Rest now, Edie, let the night be wide

  Outro

  Curtains still against the glass, the streetlight dims to grey Sleep on, little steady one, till morning finds its way

  Verse 1

  Watch the little bubbles turning slowly round and round Down into the quiet where no worry can be found Warm and soft the water says its last goodnight to you Sleepy now, my darling, there is nothing left to do

  Chorus

  Edie, Edie, close your eyes and drift away Every little sound of you has softened into grey Steady as a heartbeat, Edie, steady as the tide There is nowhere safer than right here, tucked by my side

  Verse 2

  Somewhere far off water finds its way down to the sea But you are staying here tonight, exactly where you should be Wrapped in something softer than the whole world put together Held here safe and certain through the darkest kind of weather

  Pre-chorus

  Let the last light empty slowly out behind your eyes Nothing you must carry now, no reason left to try Just this room, this quiet, and the hush before you fly

  Chorus

  Edie, Edie, close your eyes and drift away Every little sound of you has softened into grey Steady as a heartbeat, Edie, steady as the tide There is nowhere safer than right here, tucked by my side

  Bridge

  Small hands, small breath, small weight against my chest This is how I know that you are ready now to rest Let it all go quiet, let the ripples smooth and still

  Chorus

  Edie, Edie, close your eyes and drift away Every little sound of you has softened into grey Steady as a heartbeat, Edie, steady as the tide There is nowhere safer than right here, tucked by my side

  Outro

  Somewhere the last swirl of water turns and disappears Sleep now, you are held here, past the reach of all your years

  Verse 1

  The fire has gone from gold to a soft and settling grey Every ember tucks itself in and fades away Nothing here needs to hurry, nothing needs to keep And you can let the whole wide day go, you can drift to sleep

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the room is warm and the dark is only kind Let your small breath slow to match the fire's quiet mind There is nowhere left to be but here, and safe, and

  Chorus

  Edie, the ash falls soft as a blanket laid down white Nothing in this house will stir or startle you tonight Steady as the last log settles low and warm Edie, you are held here, you are held here till the light

  Verse 2

  Outside the window even the wind has learned to wait The whole dark garden's holding still around the gate Somewhere past the ceiling the stars are keeping watch too And every quiet thing in the world is turning kind for you

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the room is warm and the dark is only kind Let your small breath slow to match the fire's quiet mind There is nowhere left to be but here, and safe, and

  Chorus

  Edie, the ash falls soft as a blanket laid down white Nothing in this house will stir or startle you tonight Steady as the last log settles low and warm Edie, you are held here, you are held here till the light

  Bridge

  Sleep can be slow as smoke curling up and out of sight No need to chase the morning, it will come with the light Someone is watching over every breath you take

  Chorus

  Edie, the ash falls soft as a blanket laid down white Nothing in this house will stir or startle you tonight Steady as the last log settles low and warm Edie, you are held here, you are held here till the light

  Outro

  The grate glows low, one small ember still keeping warm Sleep now, Edie, you are held here, safe from harm
