  Verse 1

  Somebody turns the brass key twice before the hush can start Softly the carpet swallows every footstep near your heart Nothing tonight can find its way past this quiet door You are the reason all this care was gathered here before

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the small sounds fade away Nothing will wake you, nothing will lead you astray Sleep is a room where you are always safe to stay

  Chorus

  Evelyn, the lock is turned, the house breathes soft and slow Nothing but calm is waiting in the dark below You are held closer than any latch or key could say Evelyn, hush now, morning finds its own sweet way

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a floorboard settles like it's tired too and stays Quietly the whole night folds itself around your days You are the warmth this house was always built to keep Rest now, there is nothing left to guard except your sleep

  Bridge

  Every small sound outside has learned to soften near your bed Let the hush carry all the worry from your head

  Chorus

  Evelyn, the lock is turned, the house breathes soft and slow Nothing but calm is waiting in the dark below You are held closer than any latch or key could say Evelyn, hush now, morning finds its own sweet way

  Outro

  The key stays turned, the carpet still, the night stands calm and near Sleep now, Evelyn, you are safe and loved in here

  Verse 1

  Little numbers glow orange through the fringe of your blanket Warm and soft like a secret only you can keep Wrapped so snug in wool and leather You are held here, safe and steady, never far away

  Chorus

  Evelyn, the whole wide night is holding you so gently Close your eyes now, Evelyn, there's nowhere you need to be Soft as heaven, calm as weather turning kind You are loved beyond all counting, now and ever after

  Verse 2

  Every soft light dims a little as the evening settles down Your small breaths are slow and even, matching mine in time Nothing in this world can reach you You are wrapped in warmth that nothing cold could ever touch

  Pre-chorus

  Rest your head, the day is finished, nothing left to chase Let the dark feel like a blanket, not a thing to fear There is nowhere safer than right here

  Chorus

  Evelyn, the whole wide night is holding you so gently Close your eyes now, Evelyn, there's nowhere you need to be Soft as heaven, calm as weather turning kind You are loved beyond all counting, now and ever after

  Bridge

  Somewhere far the world keeps turning, quiet and unseen You are held so close and steady, nothing else is needed

  Chorus

  Evelyn, the whole wide night is holding you so gently Close your eyes now, Evelyn, there's nowhere you need to be Soft as heaven, calm as weather turning kind You are loved beyond all counting, now and ever after

  Outro

  Sleep now, let that small warm light keep glowing soft and slow You are safe inside this moment, wrapped in wool and love

  Verse 1

  The heavy coats are hanging crooked on their wooden pegs tonight Every sleeve is empty now and swaying soft and slow You are wrapped in something warmer than a coat could ever be Safe inside this quiet house where all the lamps burn low

  Pre-chorus

  Outside the wind is turning cold and rattling at the door But nothing cold can reach you here beneath your blanket's fold So close your eyes and listen to the hush I'm humming for

  Chorus

  Evelyn, the night is yours to keep Softer than the leather on the pegs you'll sleep Evelyn, I'll hold this hour like heaven Nothing in the dark can touch you, Evelyn

  Verse 2

  Those old coats have travelled through a hundred kinds of weather Now they rest against the wall like tired old friends together You have travelled only through this one small day of yours And I will fold you gently into dreams behind closed doors

  Pre-chorus

  The pegs will hold their coats till morning comes and light returns And I will hold you closer than the room can ever know So let the small lamp flicker while your breathing slows and turns

  Chorus

  Evelyn, the night is yours to keep Softer than the leather on the pegs you'll sleep Evelyn, I'll hold this hour like heaven Nothing in the dark can touch you, Evelyn

  Bridge

  Hush now, nothing here will ever let you down Every crooked thing can still be gentle, still be kind

  Chorus

  Evelyn, the night is yours to keep Softer than the leather on the pegs you'll sleep Evelyn, I'll hold this hour like heaven Nothing in the dark can touch you, Evelyn

  Outro

  The coats will hang there crooked still when morning finds the room And you'll wake warm inside the peace that carried you through
