  Verse 1

  Leaves are drawing soft shapes across the grey above your head Every shadow moves so slowly, like it doesn't want to stray Somewhere close the branches sway you gently towards your bed You are held here safe and quiet as the light begins to fade

  Chorus

  Faye, the dark is only resting, nothing here will steal away Close your eyes and keep on drifting, Faye, you're folded in today Warm beneath the moving branches, you were made to end this way Faye, the whole night bends around you, gentle now, and here to stay

  Verse 2

  Something in the hush is watching over every breath you take Underneath the swaying oak the night has learned to move so slow Rocked along by little shifts of light no one could ever fake You are wrapped inside a stillness only sleeping hearts can know

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the shadows carry all the noise the day has made Quiet settles soft around you, sinking low and sinking deep Close your eyes, the dark is gentle, leaning you towards your sleep

  Chorus

  Faye, the dark is only resting, nothing here will steal away Close your eyes and keep on drifting, Faye, you're folded in today Warm beneath the moving branches, you were made to end this way Faye, the whole night bends around you, gentle now, and here to stay

  Bridge

  Sleep can hold you soft as branches hold the last light of the day Trust the dark to keep you steady, trust the hush to lead the way

  Chorus

  Faye, the dark is only resting, nothing here will steal away Close your eyes and keep on drifting, Faye, you're folded in today Warm beneath the moving branches, you were made to end this way Faye, the whole night bends around you, gentle now, and here to stay

  Outro

  Still the leaves keep drawing shadows, slow and soft across the grey Sleep now, Faye, the night is gentle, carrying you through till day

  Verse 1

  Down through the railings a soft yellow light comes to find you Falling so slowly across the old dusty stair Nothing can hurry a glow moving this way Only warm patience was ever assigned to you

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere a door has been left on the latch for you Somewhere the evening is folding its wings down to rest Close your eyes now, let the hush gather near

  Chorus

  Faye, the whole house is breathing slow just for you Quietly holding the dark so it's kind and it's true Nobody minds if you drift far away Faye, there is nothing tonight to get through

  Verse 2

  Dust on the step turns to gold when it's late Softened and still, like a hand laid to rest Wherever you wander in dreams you are safe You carry the warmth of that light as you go

  Bridge

  Let every worry lie down where it's small Sleep is a room with the porch light still on

  Chorus

  Faye, the whole house is breathing slow just for you Quietly holding the dark so it's kind and it's true Nobody minds if you drift far away Faye, there is nothing tonight to get through

  Outro

  The railings still hold that same yellow glow Watching you sleep, never letting it go

  Verse 1

  Far down the valley a light finds its way home Sliding soft on the wallpaper before it has flown You watch it go quiet with your head on the pillow Safe in this room like a boat in still water

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing that moves out there can touch where you lie Every small sound is just the night breathing by Close your eyes now, let the dark carry you slow

  Chorus

  Faye, the whole wide dark is holding you gently Sleep is a road and you travel it sweetly Nothing will wake you, nothing will stray Rest easy now, my darling Faye

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a car turns and its beam finds the ceiling Brushing across like a hand, soft and healing You do not stir, you are already drifting Held in a calm that keeps quietly lifting

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing that moves out there can touch where you lie Every small sound is just the night breathing by Close your eyes now, let the dark carry you slow

  Chorus

  Faye, the whole wide dark is holding you gently Sleep is a road and you travel it sweetly Nothing will wake you, nothing will stray Rest easy now, my darling Faye

  Bridge

  You are the warmth that no distance can dim Held closer than any far light on the rim

  Chorus

  Faye, the whole wide dark is holding you gently Sleep is a road and you travel it sweetly Nothing will wake you, nothing will stray Rest easy now, my darling Faye

  Outro

  That light has moved on, but you are still here Wrapped up in sleep, in the warm and the near
