  Verse 1

  A little moth is tapping soft against the yellow light Its wings are slower now than they were before Everything is settling into the folds of night And you are the one I keep watching for

  Pre-chorus

  The lamp is turning gold and low and gentle on the wall Your breathing finds a rhythm sweet and slow And that is all it takes to hush the whole world small

  Chorus

  Frankie, the light is dim and kind above your head Nothing tonight will ask you to be strong Frankie, I'll stay until the last soft word is said And hum you through the dark with this small song

  Verse 2

  The moth has folded up against the warm glass now Its wings have stilled the way your hands have stilled You don't need to know the how or ask me why or how The quiet in this room is already fulfilled

  Pre-chorus

  The lamp is turning gold and low and gentle on the wall Your breathing finds a rhythm sweet and slow And that is all it takes to hush the whole world small

  Chorus

  Frankie, the light is dim and kind above your head Nothing tonight will ask you to be strong Frankie, I'll stay until the last soft word is said And hum you through the dark with this small song

  Bridge

  Sleep now, there is nowhere else you need to be Just this small room, this glow, this steady beat You are held so gently, you are held so easily Safe as wings that finally found somewhere to rest

  Chorus

  Frankie, the light is dim and kind above your head Nothing tonight will ask you to be strong Frankie, I'll stay until the last soft word is said And hum you through the dark with this small song

  Outro

  The moth has gone to sleep against the quiet yellow shade And you are sleeping too, my Frankie, safe and slow

  Verse 1

  A square of amber light lies still along the floor tonight You watch it fade the way the day breathes out its final light Nothing in this house is moving now but you Sleep is drifting closer, soft and slow and right

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere past the window all the noise has learned to rest Your small hands have folded, tucked in close against your chest So let the quiet carry what the day could not

  Chorus

  Frankie, hush now, let the evening hold you tight Close your eyes, the house is warm, the world is out of sight Frankie, nothing here can reach you, nothing dares Sleep is just the darkness wrapping gently round the light

  Verse 2

  Down the steps the amber square has slowly turned to grey Still you keep its warmth like something tucked away to stay Every worry of the day has had its say and gone There is nothing left for you to carry into grey

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere past the window all the noise has learned to rest Your small hands have folded, tucked in close against your chest So let the quiet carry what the day could not

  Chorus

  Frankie, hush now, let the evening hold you tight Close your eyes, the house is warm, the world is out of sight Frankie, nothing here can reach you, nothing dares Sleep is just the darkness wrapping gently round the light

  Bridge

  No lamp is needed where you're going now Only breath, only warmth, only this

  Chorus

  Frankie, hush now, let the evening hold you tight Close your eyes, the house is warm, the world is out of sight Frankie, nothing here can reach you, nothing dares Sleep is just the darkness wrapping gently round the light

  Outro

  Somewhere the steps are cool and grey and waiting for the sun Rest now, the amber will be there when morning comes

  Verse 1

  Drops are sliding slowly down the dark and quiet glass Warm little heater ticking soft to let the evening pass You are curled up cosy where the lamplight barely glows Nothing in this room tonight but hush and how it slows

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the ticking be your gentle guide Every drop that falls outside is turning into tide Sleep is coming closer, waiting warm here by your side

  Chorus

  Frankie, hush now, let the rain sing soft and low Nothing in the dark tonight will come to touch you, Frankie, no You are held here, warm and certain, safe from every storm Sleep will keep you, Frankie, wrapped in quiet and in warm

  Verse 2

  Watch the little rivers race each other down the pane Nothing in their hurry ever needs to feel like pain You are still and steady while the whole world drifts and blurs Rest is yours to keep tonight, no reaching, nothing stirs

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the ticking be your gentle guide Every drop that falls outside is turning into tide Sleep is coming closer, waiting warm here by your side

  Chorus

  Frankie, hush now, let the rain sing soft and low Nothing in the dark tonight will come to touch you, Frankie, no You are held here, warm and certain, safe from every storm Sleep will keep you, Frankie, wrapped in quiet and in warm

  Bridge

  Somewhere past the glass the whole wide night is turning slow You need never chase it, never rush to watch it go Rest inside this small and steady, ticking, breathing room

  Chorus

  Frankie, hush now, let the rain sing soft and low Nothing in the dark tonight will come to touch you, Frankie, no You are held here, warm and certain, safe from every storm Sleep will keep you, Frankie, wrapped in quiet and in warm

  Outro

  Let the drops go sliding on while you are far away in sleep Frankie, you are kept here, safe and warm and yours to keep
