  Verse 1

  The fire is folding down to embers now, soft and low Grey ash is drifting slowly through the wire like falling snow Everything wild in the room has finally let go Close your eyes, my darling, let the quiet warmth grow

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the sparks are turning gentle, turning small The whole wide house is settling in to hold you close and warm So let your breathing follow mine and answer to the call

  Chorus

  Edwin, the embers are glowing soft just for you Nothing can reach you, nothing can touch you, it's true Sleep now, my Edwin, the night is holding you too Rest in the warmth that the last of the fire made new

  Verse 2

  The basket holds the ashes like a cupped and steady hand Nothing is lost here, only settling soft as sand Every small ember still remembers where it began Sleep now and trust me, you are safe as safe can stand

  Chorus

  Edwin, the embers are glowing soft just for you Nothing can reach you, nothing can touch you, it's true Sleep now, my Edwin, the night is holding you too Rest in the warmth that the last of the fire made new

  Bridge

  No need to hold on to the light, it will keep without trying Let the last little glow do the work of the watching I will stay here beside you as the fire keeps sighing

  Chorus

  Edwin, the embers are glowing soft just for you Nothing can reach you, nothing can touch you, it's true Sleep now, my Edwin, the night is holding you too Rest in the warmth that the last of the fire made new

  Outro

  The ash settles soft now, and so may you settle too Sleep, little Edwin, the warm and the dark are with you

  Verse 1

  A pale linen curtain is lifting soft and slow tonight Carried by a breeze that means no harm and holds no fright Close your little eyes now, let your busy day go dim Nothing in this quiet room could ever trouble him or him

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, every shadow here is gentle, every corner kind Breathe in slow and let the hush wrap warm around your mind There is nowhere safer that this heart could ever find

  Chorus

  Edwin, Edwin, drift away and rest your head in Sleep is calling soft and low, a song that we believe in Close the day and let it fold like curtains in the breeze Edwin, sleep is only love, so let it bring you ease

  Verse 2

  Somewhere out beyond that window night is folding soft and wide Wrapping up the trees and rooftops gently side by side You are held here, warm and steady, nothing left to chase Sleep is only kindness settling slowly on your face

  Chorus

  Edwin, Edwin, drift away and rest your head in Sleep is calling soft and low, a song that we believe in Close the day and let it fold like curtains in the breeze Edwin, sleep is only love, so let it bring you ease

  Bridge

  Every breath you take tonight is small and safe and slow Wrapped in all the love that watches over where you go

  Chorus

  Edwin, Edwin, drift away and rest your head in Sleep is calling soft and low, a song that we believe in Close the day and let it fold like curtains in the breeze Edwin, sleep is only love, so let it bring you ease

  Outro

  Somewhere still that pale curtain lifts and settles, calm and slow Sleep now, Edwin, you are held wherever dreams may go

  Verse 1

  A small circle of gold climbs up your heavy duvet Softly it settles right there where your two hands stayed Nothing tonight can come and trouble your rest You are the reason this whole room feels so found

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the last light go quiet Breathe out slowly, let your shoulders sink deep There is nowhere safer than this warm little bed

  Chorus

  Edwin, the dark has gone soft and it holds you Sleep can come easy now, nothing will wake you Every soft shadow is only just resting Nobody's loved more tonight than you, Edwin

  Verse 2

  Somewhere the wind moves but never comes near you Under the covers your breathing has slowed to a hush Hold onto nothing, just let your whole body sink down You are so wanted, asleep or awake, it is true

  Bridge

  Let the glow above you keep its quiet watch tonight Nothing will ask you for anything more than this rest

  Chorus

  Edwin, the dark has gone soft and it holds you Sleep can come easy now, nothing will wake you Every soft shadow is only just resting Nobody's loved more tonight than you, Edwin

  Outro

  That circle of gold will still glow when you're dreaming Sleep now, my Edwin, you are already safe
