  Verse 1

  The window can rattle soft in its old wooden frame tonight and far off the metal tracks hum low like a quiet delight but nothing outside this room can ever come to harm you so rest here beside me, held close and wrapped up tight

  Chorus

  Eliana, the dark is only a blanket pulled round us slow Eliana, I promise you never have to go you are the warmest place in this whole tired old world and I will stay right here as the night wind starts to blow

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a train goes rolling on through the sleeping town and the glass gives its small shiver, a whisper, then settles down nothing that hums or rattles could ever pull you from me you are held so much closer than any sound

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the humming fade to just a hush let the window's little rattle turn to nothing but a brush of night against the glass while I keep watch and gently

  Chorus

  Eliana, the dark is only a blanket pulled round us slow Eliana, I promise you never have to go you are the warmest place in this whole tired old world and I will stay right here as the night wind starts to blow

  Bridge

  Every far off sound is only the night breathing near nothing in this room could ever bring you fear you are so deeply loved, more than the whole sky wide

  Chorus

  Eliana, the dark is only a blanket pulled round us slow Eliana, I promise you never have to go you are the warmest place in this whole tired old world and I will stay right here as the night wind starts to blow

  Outro

  Let the tracks hum on and the window rest in its frame you are safe here always, sleeping soft and warm, just the same

  Verse 1

  A small lamp leans its yellow warmth across the wooden floor You watch it stretch and settle like a tide that's come to rest Sleep is only waiting just beyond your own front door And you are held here softly, you are safe here, you are blessed

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the quiet carry you tonight Nothing in the shadows means you any kind of harm I will stay right here beside the fading light

  Chorus

  Eliana, drift away on breath as soft as rain Every worry of the day has folded up and gone Rest here, Eliana, nothing calls your name again Only sleep, and morning waiting gently to come on

  Verse 2

  The bulb hums low behind its shade like something breathing slow You curl in close to warmth that asks for nothing else from you Out beyond the window all the busy world lets go And here inside this small room everything is kind and true

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the quiet carry you tonight Nothing in the shadows means you any kind of harm I will stay right here beside the fading light

  Chorus

  Eliana, drift away on breath as soft as rain Every worry of the day has folded up and gone Rest here, Eliana, nothing calls your name again Only sleep, and morning waiting gently to come on

  Bridge

  Somewhere past the doorframe the whole house has gone to rest You are the softest corner of it, tucked in, held, and blessed

  Chorus

  Eliana, drift away on breath as soft as rain Every worry of the day has folded up and gone Rest here, Eliana, nothing calls your name again Only sleep, and morning waiting gently to come on

  Outro

  The lamp will keep its low and steady watch till morning light Sleep now, you are golden, you are held, you are alright

  The white foam washes soft over the dark and sleepy sand and something in that hush must understand just where you land no stars are needed when the night can hold you just the same I'll keep the warmth close by and gently whisper you your name

  Pre-chorus

  Let the tide pull all your worry far away tonight fold your little hands and let your breathing settle light close your eyes now, drift where nothing ever feels like fright

  Chorus

  Eliana, hush now, the whole wide sea agrees with me that you're worth more than every star we cannot see Eliana, sleep now, wrapped up warm and safe and sound there is nowhere gentler than this quiet you have found

  Verse 2

  The dark can be a kindness when it holds you soft and slow a blanket made of quiet with no place you need to go you are the calm the whole wide water's been reaching for so rest now, little one, you don't need any more

  Pre-chorus

  Let the tide pull all your worry far away tonight fold your little hands and let your breathing settle light close your eyes now, drift where nothing ever feels like fright

  Chorus

  Eliana, hush now, the whole wide sea agrees with me that you're worth more than every star we cannot see Eliana, sleep now, wrapped up warm and safe and sound there is nowhere gentler than this quiet you have found

  Bridge

  No star is watching, but I am, and that will always do this whole dark night was only ever softened just for you

  Chorus

  Eliana, hush now, the whole wide sea agrees with me that you're worth more than every star we cannot see Eliana, sleep now, wrapped up warm and safe and sound there is nowhere gentler than this quiet you have found

  Outro

  The white foam settles softly now, the dark sand holds it still sleep on, you are the calmest thing this quiet night can fill
