  Verse 1

  Soft foam is folding over stones so dark and still Quiet clouds are drifting past without a will You are the warmest thing beneath this fading light Curled up so safely as we say goodnight

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the tide has learned to hum so low Every small wave rocks you gentle as it goes Close your eyes and feel the calm begin to grow

  Chorus

  Eleanor, the night is holding you so near Nothing in the dark has any reason for you to fear Eleanor, my quiet gardener of dreams Sleep inside the softest hush the evening brings

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the shore the sky has turned to grey Wrapping up the last light of the day You are held as gently as the sand holds every stone Never once tonight will you be left alone

  Bridge

  Rest your small hands, let the world grow slow and dim Nothing has to hurry, nothing has to win

  Chorus

  Eleanor, the night is holding you so near Nothing in the dark has any reason for you to fear Eleanor, my quiet gardener of dreams Sleep inside the softest hush the evening brings

  Outro

  Somewhere the foam still settles soft on pebbles dark and slow Sleep now, Eleanor, and let the gentle water go

  Wrapped up soft in a blanket woven of wool you are curled like a question the night has made full A small orange glow hums low on the dashboard watching over you gently, patient and full

  Somewhere behind us the roads fall to whispers and you are the reason the darkness feels kind Little one, breathe slow, let your worries unravel you are the warmest thing this night will find

  Every mile of the dark is folding in slow holding you safer than anything I know and the hush of the engine is humming you home

  Eleanor, hush now, the night holds you tight sleep finds you easy beneath that soft light Nothing can reach you, no shadow, no sound Eleanor, dream on till morning comes light

  Rest now, you are held, you are wanted, you are known nothing in this world could ever leave you alone

  Eleanor, hush now, the night holds you tight sleep finds you easy beneath that soft light Nothing can reach you, no shadow, no sound Eleanor, dream on till morning comes light

  Verse 1

  A small light burns on the desk while shadows learn to be still The wax runs slow like a story that never needs to end Somewhere a window holds the moon on the darkened sill And you are the warmest thing in this room, my dear little friend

  Pre-chorus

  The brass holds steady, the flame leans soft against the air Nothing tonight will hurry you, nothing will ask you to wake So let the hush come closer and gather you there

  Chorus

  Eleanor, sleep now, the night is holding you kind Rest where it's quiet, rest where the dark is warm Nothing will wander too far to leave you behind Eleanor, you are held safe until the morn

  Verse 2

  The taper burns thinner but never once burns afraid Its little light knows exactly how long it's to stay You breathe out slowly, unfolding the day you've made And the dark leans in gently to carry you away

  Bridge

  Even the smallest flame can fill up a whole dark room So let your sleep be certain, let your sleep be deep

  Chorus

  Eleanor, sleep now, the night is holding you kind Rest where it's quiet, rest where the dark is warm Nothing will wander too far to leave you behind Eleanor, you are held safe until the morn

  Outro

  The little flame goes down soft, but you are already dreaming Warm in the dark, safe as the last light leaving
