  Verse 1

  The window's gone misty from the warmth of this room and somewhere past the glass the night is turning still I feel your small breath slowing like a tired tune and I could stay right here beside you until

  Pre-chorus

  The cushions hum so soft beneath us both tonight the cold outside can't reach you where you lie so let your eyes grow heavy, let go of the light

  Chorus

  Gael, the dark is only resting, not unkind close your eyes and let the hours sail you're held here closer than you'll ever know or mind and Gael, my love will never fail

  Verse 2

  Outside the drops are trailing slow along the pane tracing paths that never seem to end but here inside there's nothing cold that can remain only warmth enough for you to spend

  Chorus

  Gael, the dark is only resting, not unkind close your eyes and let the hours sail you're held here closer than you'll ever know or mind and Gael, my love will never fail

  Bridge

  Rest your head against the hush that's settling in let the whole wide night grow calm and small nothing in the dark tonight could ever do you harm I am here to catch you if you fall

  Chorus

  Gael, the dark is only resting, not unkind close your eyes and let the hours sail you're held here closer than you'll ever know or mind and Gael, my love will never fail

  Outro

  The glass will stay grown quiet, the room will hold its warmth and you'll sleep safe till morning comes to call

  Verse 1

  The candle leans and pools its amber into the little dish watching the low wick breathe as slow as you could ever wish I keep my hand beside the flame to guard its final glow and guard you too, my Gael, wherever dreaming wants to go

  Pre-chorus

  The light is dropping softer now, no need to hold it tight there is nothing in this room that means you harm tonight so let your worry melt away like wax beneath the light

  Chorus

  Gael, you are the warmth this whole house keeps for its own Gael, my quiet ember, never left to burn alone sleep is just a small boat drifting off from a gentle shore and I will keep the low flame lit till you wake once more

  Verse 2

  The saucer holds the melted gold like a small and steady sea and your breathing slows to match its calm and even beat nothing needs to hurry here, the whole night waits for you so rest inside the hush that this small flickering light drew

  Bridge

  Even when the wick burns down and the amber cools to stone some warmth stays inside the dark and you are never on your own

  Chorus

  Gael, you are the warmth this whole house keeps for its own Gael, my quiet ember, never left to burn alone sleep is just a small boat drifting off from a gentle shore and I will keep the low flame lit till you wake once more

  Outro

  The saucer holds its amber still, the wick gone soft and low sleep now, Gael, the warmth stays close no matter where you go

  Verse 1

  The pine trees sway so slowly past the window where you lie gathering their shadows as the evening drifts on by frost is climbing quiet on the pale glass pane tonight nothing out there needs to make you sigh

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the dark come soft and slow there is nowhere warmer than the place you already know and the night is only waiting for you to let go

  Chorus

  Gael, my love, the frost is drawing pictures on the glass watch the branches rock you gently as the hours pass nothing in this house will ever let you fall sleep now, Gael, and let the whole wide dark go past

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window branches bend beneath the weight of frost every little worry of the day is finally lost you are curled up warmer than a coal beside the fire held here closer than you'll ever know the cost

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the dark come soft and slow there is nowhere warmer than the place you already know and the night is only waiting for you to let go

  Chorus

  Gael, my love, the frost is drawing pictures on the glass watch the branches rock you gently as the hours pass nothing in this house will ever let you fall sleep now, Gael, and let the whole wide dark go past

  Bridge

  Every star is just a lamp somebody left on for you the whole night keeps its promise to stay soft and true

  Chorus

  Gael, my love, the frost is drawing pictures on the glass watch the branches rock you gently as the hours pass nothing in this house will ever let you fall sleep now, Gael, and let the whole wide dark go past

  Outro

  The branches still are swaying but you're far beyond their reach sleep on, Gael, there's nothing left tonight to teach
