  Verse 1

  Frost is drawing ferns in the corner of the glass tonight Soft and slow the way it grows beneath the fading light Everything is settling as the house breathes low and deep And you are held here safely as you drift away to sleep

  Chorus

  Gavin, Gavin, close your eyes now, let the night come in Nothing in the dark can touch you, nothing can begin Gavin, hush now, you are wanted more than words can say Sleep will carry you so gently till the break of day

  Verse 2

  The window keeps its patterns while the room stays warm and still Nothing here can hurry you, there's nowhere else to be The quiet wraps around you like a blanket pulled up high And every little worry drifts off softly with a sigh

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere past the frosted glass the whole wide world lies sleeping Close and warm inside these walls, love is what we're keeping Let it settle over you now, soft and slow and deep

  Chorus

  Gavin, Gavin, close your eyes now, let the night come in Nothing in the dark can touch you, nothing can begin Gavin, hush now, you are wanted more than words can say Sleep will carry you so gently till the break of day

  Bridge

  Rest now, little one, the stars are watching over you Every breath you take is safe, is steady, is held true

  Chorus

  Gavin, Gavin, close your eyes now, let the night come in Nothing in the dark can touch you, nothing can begin Gavin, hush now, you are wanted more than words can say Sleep will carry you so gently till the break of day

  Outro

  The frost will still be drawing when the morning light returns And you'll be here, still loved, still warm, still held through all it learns

  Verse 1

  A sliver of gold slips under the door tonight Falling so soft across the grey of the floor Nothing can reach you, tucked away out of sight Close your eyes now, you don't need to see any more

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere beyond that thin and glowing line Every worry of the day is folding down Rest here where the quiet is only mine and thine

  Chorus

  Gavin, the whole wide house is holding still for you Nothing will stir until the morning comes again Every hush in every room is holding still for you Sleep now, Gavin, safe from any kind of rain

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the hallway a small light keeps watch Waiting so patiently while you drift and dream Nobody needs to hurry, nothing needs to match You are exactly where you're meant to be, it seems

  Bridge

  Let the dark be gentle, let the dark be kind Wrapping you in stillness till the morning light

  Chorus

  Gavin, the whole wide house is holding still for you Nothing will stir until the morning comes again Every hush in every room is holding still for you Sleep now, Gavin, safe from any kind of rain

  Outro

  That sliver of gold will still be there when you wake Soft as it was, and steady, for your sake

  Verse 1

  Watch how the fire lets its bright colours go quiet and slow Nothing tonight needs to hurry or shine or glow Somewhere beneath the grey there is warmth still holding on I keep you close while the last of the light turns low

  Pre-chorus

  The coals are banking down beneath the ash so white Every small sound in the house is folding into night Rest here beside me now and let the dark be kind

  Chorus

  Gavin, the embers are dimming but never truly gone Something is always glowing quietly on and on You are the warmth that stays when everything else grows dim Sleep now, Gavin, till the morning light comes back to shine

  Verse 2

  The room grows softer as the last flame folds into red There's nothing waiting out there to lift your sleepy head I will be here long after the fire has had its say Rest easy now inside this quiet that we've made

  Bridge

  Under the ash the heart of the fire is beating slow Just like you, safe and held, however soft you glow

  Chorus

  Gavin, the embers are dimming but never truly gone Something is always glowing quietly on and on You are the warmth that stays when everything else grows dim Sleep now, Gavin, till the morning light comes back to shine

  Outro

  The ash lies soft and pale where the bright flame used to play You are the warmth I'm keeping until the break of day
