  Verse 1

  Wheels have stopped turning and the yard has gone quiet and still Dark leaves are brushing soft against the fading evening chill Somewhere a breeze moves gentle through the old canvas shade You are the reason this whole tired day was made

  Chorus

  Frank, my love, the night is soft and low Close your eyes now, let the spinning slow Frank, there's nothing here that you should fear Every shadow's kind because you're here

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a spoke still glimmers silver in the dying light Holding still the hush that settles gently into night You curl up warm beneath the blankets, safe and small I will keep you closer than the dark to it all

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let your breathing find its slow and steady time Let the grey above you turn to velvet as you climb Somewhere between the leaves and sleep, I'm holding you

  Chorus

  Frank, my love, the night is soft and low Close your eyes now, let the spinning slow Frank, there's nothing here that you should fear Every shadow's kind because you're here

  Bridge

  Let the wheel outside stop spinning, let the branches rest their arms Nothing in this quiet dark can ever bring you harm

  Chorus

  Frank, my love, the night is soft and low Close your eyes now, let the spinning slow Frank, there's nothing here that you should fear Every shadow's kind because you're here

  Outro

  The leaves have stilled their whisper, and the spokes have gone to rest Sleep now, little one, you're held, you're loved, you're blessed

  Verse 1

  The water moves so softly by the old wooden bank Rocking slow in a rhythm only night understands And you are held here safely, warm within every plank Wrapped in the kind of quiet that never asks demands

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere a metal ring is turning gently in the dark Holding the rope that keeps you close and keeps you still Let your eyes grow heavy now, there's nothing left to spark

  Chorus

  Frank, the night is wide but you are small and safe within it Sleep is calling softly, let it carry you away Every star above has waited patiently to begin it Frank, you're held so gently till the coming of the day

  Verse 2

  No wave will ever reach you, no current pulls too strong Painted wood beneath you keeps its promise through the night Somewhere far above you the darkness hums a quiet song Just for you to rest in until morning brings the light

  Chorus

  Frank, the night is wide but you are small and safe within it Sleep is calling softly, let it carry you away Every star above has waited patiently to begin it Frank, you're held so gently till the coming of the day

  Bridge

  Nothing here will hurry you, nothing here will fade Only slow and easy breaths in the gentle shade

  Chorus

  Frank, the night is wide but you are small and safe within it Sleep is calling softly, let it carry you away Every star above has waited patiently to begin it Frank, you're held so gently till the coming of the day

  Outro

  The water settles softer now against the painted wood You are loved as surely as the night is understood

  Verse 1

  A narrow beam of yellow light lies soft across the floor It slips beneath the curtain like it's tiptoeing to the door It moves so slow across the wood, it hardly seems to slide And it settles where you're lying, and it won't ask for more

  Pre-chorus

  The house breathes low and quiet now, the day has laid it down Every worry folds up small and leaves without a sound So let your eyes grow heavy as the hush wraps all around

  Chorus

  Frank, the light is fading gold and soft upon the floor Nothing in this whole wide world could love you any more Close your eyes, my darling Frank, and drift away from shore You are safe here, you are held here, Frank, forevermore

  Verse 2

  The floorboards creak the way they always creak beneath the night They hold the weight of quiet like they're keeping watch till light You don't need to worry over shadows on the wall Every corner of this room is wrapped in warm and right

  Chorus

  Frank, the light is fading gold and soft upon the floor Nothing in this whole wide world could love you any more Close your eyes, my darling Frank, and drift away from shore You are safe here, you are held here, Frank, forevermore

  Bridge

  Sleep will carry you out gentle, further than the light can reach Past the window, past the hallway, past the things that words could teach There's a quiet kind of loving that never needs to raise its voice

  Chorus

  Frank, the light is fading gold and soft upon the floor Nothing in this whole wide world could love you any more Close your eyes, my darling Frank, and drift away from shore You are safe here, you are held here, Frank, forevermore

  Outro

  The beam has thinned to nothing but the dark is warm and kind Sleep now, Frank, the whole night through, with love you'll always find
