  Verse 1

  Raindrops slide down slowly on the dark and quiet glass warm beside the radiator, you are curled up small nothing out there in the night can reach you here at last you are the softest, safest thing of all

  Pre-chorus

  Let the wind knock gently, it can't come inside the room is warm around you, the world is shut out tight close your eyes a little, let the hours glide

  Chorus

  Elsie, Elsie, the rain can fall all night you are held here warmly, wrapped in golden light nothing cold can find you, nothing dims your glow sleep now, Elsie, drift where the soft winds go

  Verse 2

  The glass is cool and misty but your blanket holds the heat every little shiver melts before it comes too near you don't have to listen to the raindrops or the street only to the quiet breathing you can hear

  Bridge

  Somewhere past the window the whole wide world spins slow but here it's only you and the candle's gentle glow

  Chorus

  Elsie, Elsie, the rain can fall all night you are held here warmly, wrapped in golden light nothing cold can find you, nothing dims your glow sleep now, Elsie, drift where the soft winds go

  Outro

  The rain still slides down slowly past the warm and glowing pane and you sleep on inside it, far away from any rain

  Verse 1

  Wool fringe trails so softly down across this quiet knee tonight Every thread has settled here to keep you warm and hold you tight Nothing in this room can reach you now Sleep is close and dimming out the light

  Pre-chorus

  Your breathing slows to match the hush that's falling all around Fingers curl around the edge of something soft and safely bound So let the evening carry you along

  Chorus

  Elsie, you are held here, you are warm here, you are known Nothing in the dark tonight will ever leave you on your own Kelsie skies could never keep this steady Elsie, close your eyes now, you are home

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window all the lights are going low and slow Here the only sound you need is one soft heartbeat you already know You don't have to hold on to a single thing Just let the quiet wrap you and let go

  Chorus

  Elsie, you are held here, you are warm here, you are known Nothing in the dark tonight will ever leave you on your own Kelsie skies could never keep this steady Elsie, close your eyes now, you are home

  Bridge

  Rest your head where all the softness gathers, deep and slow Nobody will let this warmth around you go

  Chorus

  Elsie, you are held here, you are warm here, you are known Nothing in the dark tonight will ever leave you on your own Kelsie skies could never keep this steady Elsie, close your eyes now, you are home

  Outro

  Wool fringe rests so quietly now across this steady knee Sleep now, little one, for you are everything to me

  Verse 1

  A far yellow light slides slow across the wall tonight It passes so gently over the glass and then it's gone The dark holds this room like something warm and kind And nothing can touch you here before the dawn

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you down The whole tired world is folding itself to rest And every small sound is turning into hush

  Chorus

  Elsie, the night is only holding you close Nothing will wake you, nothing will ask you to stay awake Elsie, you're wrapped in every soft thing I know Sleep now, sleep deep, for your own sweet sake

  Verse 2

  The light on the wall moves slower than any clock It doesn't need you awake to keep its far off place You can let go of the day, it's already done There's nothing waiting out there but the dark's soft face

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the quiet carry you down The whole tired world is folding itself to rest And every small sound is turning into hush

  Chorus

  Elsie, the night is only holding you close Nothing will wake you, nothing will ask you to stay awake Elsie, you're wrapped in every soft thing I know Sleep now, sleep deep, for your own sweet sake

  Bridge

  However far that small light travels on its way It only ever passes, it was never meant to stay You are the one thing steady in this whole dim room

  Chorus

  Elsie, the night is only holding you close Nothing will wake you, nothing will ask you to stay awake Elsie, you're wrapped in every soft thing I know Sleep now, sleep deep, for your own sweet sake

  Outro

  The light has gone from the wall and left it dark and still And you are held here softly, safe from any harm
