  Verse 1

  Feathers settle soft against the darkened windowpane tonight Something vast and gentle keeps its watch above your head A great wing folds around this house and holds the world so tight There is nowhere calmer, love, than this small quiet bed

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing moves too fast when everything you need is near Let the hush of evening gather close around your ear Hold my hand a little longer while the dark grows clear

  Chorus

  Fiona, the night has folded gently over you Rest inside the quiet, let the stars keep watch till dawn Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will see you through I will stay beside you, Fiona, until the morning comes

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the glass a heavy wingbeat stirs the air so still Nothing in that motion ever reaches where you lie It only means the night is breathing, slow against the sill And you are held here safely underneath a watching sky

  Bridge

  Every shadow softens when it settles by your side Sleep is just the feeling of being loved and safe inside

  Chorus

  Fiona, the night has folded gently over you Rest inside the quiet, let the stars keep watch till dawn Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will see you through I will stay beside you, Fiona, until the morning comes

  Outro

  The feathers rest so still against the glass and dim from view Sleep now, Fiona, the whole night through belongs to you

  Verse 1

  Up on the stairs the small light hums so gold and slow and every drifting speck of dust has somewhere soft to go the whole wide house breathes quiet now and settles into rest and you are held the closest here, the safest and the best

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the hallway dims to amber, everything is still the glow above is bending low to say it always will stay just a little longer while the night comes soft and slow

  Chorus

  Fiona, the light falls gentle just for you tonight sleep now, Fiona, wrapped up warm and out of sight every little worry drifts away like dust in air Fiona, you are held and you are cared for everywhere

  Verse 2

  The bulb above the stairs still hums its low and steady song and time moves slow as honey while the dark stretches long no shadow here can reach you, no small sound will do you harm you rest inside the golden hush, all quiet, safe and warm

  Bridge

  Close your eyes, the glow will keep on turning while you sleep every gentle breath you take is one that I will keep nothing in the dark tonight can find you where you lie

  Chorus

  Fiona, the light falls gentle just for you tonight sleep now, Fiona, wrapped up warm and out of sight every little worry drifts away like dust in air Fiona, you are held and you are cared for everywhere

  Outro

  The little light still turns above the quiet stair sleep now, you are golden, you are always cared for there

  Verse 1

  One coat hangs still on its hook while the hallway goes dim The house breathes out and folds itself around you Nothing is waiting, nothing calls you back through that door Only this quiet room was built to surround you

  Chorus

  Fiona, the night has come soft just for you Fiona, there's nowhere you're needed but here Every dark corner has turned into shelter Sleep and I'll keep watching, you've nothing to fear

  Verse 2

  The brass on the hook catches almost no light now Yet still I can find it with my eyes half closed Just like I could find you in any dark hallway You're the one steady thing that this whole house holds

  Pre-chorus

  Let your small hands uncurl and your shoulders sink low Let the last of the day slip away like a coat There's only this moment, so warm and so slow

  Chorus

  Fiona, the night has come soft just for you Fiona, there's nowhere you're needed but here Every dark corner has turned into shelter Sleep and I'll keep watching, you've nothing to fear

  Bridge

  Somewhere outside, the wind moves the trees without hurry No footsteps come, no door needs to be found You are not lost here, you never were lost here You're held in this house like the softest of sound

  Chorus

  Fiona, the night has come soft just for you Fiona, there's nowhere you're needed but here Every dark corner has turned into shelter Sleep and I'll keep watching, you've nothing to fear

  Outro

  The coat will still hang when the morning comes creeping So rest now, Fiona, there's nothing to keep
