  Verse 1

  The floorboards outside your door are holding the last of the light a thin gold line that promises everything is still all right you don't have to watch it, you don't have to keep your eyes open just breathe in the hush and let go of the day, half spoken

  Pre-chorus

  Nobody needs you to stay awake and mind the hour somewhere close by, warmth is gathering like a slow flower so sink a little deeper while the whole house settles down

  Chorus

  Gemma, the dark isn't empty, it's only the day lying still rest in the quiet, there's nothing out there that means you ill you are the reason this room stays soft and low and warm Gemma, you're held here, safe from any far off storm

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a door is shut gently so the hallway light won't spill in too far your blanket is heavier than any worry, heavier than any star sleep doesn't ask you for anything, it only asks you to lean into the pillow, into the hush, into everything unseen

  Bridge

  Whatever the day carried, it can rest by the bed tonight let your shoulders drop, let your breathing grow light

  Chorus

  Gemma, the dark isn't empty, it's only the day lying still rest in the quiet, there's nothing out there that means you ill you are the reason this room stays soft and low and warm Gemma, you're held here, safe from any far off storm

  Outro

  The light beneath the door will still be there when morning comes to call and you'll wake up loved, exactly the same as before you fell

  Verse 1

  Somewhere behind the wall a small pipe hums its tune Ticking warm and slow while shadows learn to bend Close your eyes now, love, beneath the watching moon Nothing in this room will wake before you mend

  Pre-chorus

  Hear how the quiet holds you, soft as it can be Breathe with the ticking, let it carry you along Sleep is coming gentle, closer than you see

  Chorus

  Gemma, the night is only warmth wrapped tight Nothing can touch you, nothing dares to try Gemma, you're held here safely through the night Rest now, my Gemma, underneath this sky

  Verse 2

  Wallpaper flowers fade to grey but you stay bright Curled beneath the blankets where the warmth collects Every little tick is just the house saying goodnight You are the softest thing this whole room protects

  Pre-chorus

  Hear how the quiet holds you, soft as it can be Breathe with the ticking, let it carry you along Sleep is coming gentle, closer than you see

  Chorus

  Gemma, the night is only warmth wrapped tight Nothing can touch you, nothing dares to try Gemma, you're held here safely through the night Rest now, my Gemma, underneath this sky

  Bridge

  Let the small sounds be the ones that guard your rest Let the dark feel like a blanket, not a stranger You are the dearest thing that this house has ever pressed Close against its heart, kept far from any danger

  Chorus

  Gemma, the night is only warmth wrapped tight Nothing can touch you, nothing dares to try Gemma, you're held here safely through the night Rest now, my Gemma, underneath this sky

  Outro

  Somewhere the pipe still ticks its patient, tender song You are already drifting where you belong

  Verse 1

  White foam is washing soft over the dark and quiet stones tonight The moon hangs orange and steady, watching over everything you do It never hurries, never worries, holding all its gentle light And I am watching over you the whole night through

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the tide roll slow and low Every wave that comes is kinder than the one before So let the quiet carry you where you need to go

  Chorus

  Gemma, the moon is low and the water's calm and true There is nowhere safer in the whole wide world than here with you Gemma, rest your head and let the dark be kind and slow You are held here softly, and that is all you need to know

  Verse 2

  Somewhere far off a small light glimmers out across the bay It does not ask for anything, it simply glows and stays And that is how you're loved here, steady, needing nothing more Just a warm and constant presence by your door

  Bridge

  Every stone gets softer for the water passing through So let the night wash over you and settle deep and true

  Chorus

  Gemma, the moon is low and the water's calm and true There is nowhere safer in the whole wide world than here with you Gemma, rest your head and let the dark be kind and slow You are held here softly, and that is all you need to know

  Outro

  The foam still turns so gently on the dark and sleeping stones And you are held as softly as the moonlight holds its own
