  Verse 1

  Gold light is spilling soft through the door left open wide Dust turns like tiny stars caught drifting on the tide Nothing needs to happen now, nowhere to be Gordon, this quiet hour is yours to hold inside

  Chorus

  Gordon, the whole wide house is settling down to rest Every small sound tonight is folding into your chest Close your eyes, let the hush come near Gordon, you are the calm that this old house loves best

  Verse 2

  The floor is warm where the light has laid its slow gold hand Somewhere a tap still drips like grains of falling sand Nothing out there can reach you now You are held closer than you'll ever understand

  Pre-chorus

  Let your small breaths grow long and even as the tide Let the glow through the door be all the light you need beside Sleep is only another room where love has opened wide

  Chorus

  Gordon, the whole wide house is settling down to rest Every small sound tonight is folding into your chest Close your eyes, let the hush come near Gordon, you are the calm that this old house loves best

  Bridge

  Somewhere beyond the door the dust keeps turning slow Carrying you gently to wherever dreams still grow

  Chorus

  Gordon, the whole wide house is settling down to rest Every small sound tonight is folding into your chest Close your eyes, let the hush come near Gordon, you are the calm that this old house loves best

  Outro

  The light through the door will still be gold when morning comes Rest now, Gordon, you were loved before the day begun

  Verse 1

  White foam is washing soft over dark pebbles tonight Under the lamp where the old stone wall stands still You are the warmth that the whole quiet night is holding Close as the tide that keeps turning up the hill

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the water is settling slow by the wall Nothing can reach you, no shadow and no harm Let your eyes close as the last little wave starts to fall

  Chorus

  Gordon, the night wraps around you like a garden Soft and unhurried, with nothing to fear Sleep is no burden when you are the one that we're guarding Gordon, my Gordon, we're holding you here

  Verse 2

  Somewhere the lamp is still watching the foam turn to lace Gentle as breath on the dark and glistening stone You are the light that makes soft this whole quiet place Never once, not for a moment, alone

  Bridge

  Every wave that comes in only comes in to rest Folding down easy where the pebbles lie still So let go now, you are safe, you are loved, you are blessed Sleep is the gentlest hill you will ever climb

  Chorus

  Gordon, the night wraps around you like a garden Soft and unhurried, with nothing to fear Sleep is no burden when you are the one that we're guarding Gordon, my Gordon, we're holding you here

  Outro

  The foam settles white on the dark pebbles by the wall Rest now, love, we are near, we are near, we are near

  Verse 1

  The orange light is catching on the wool thread by your bed Soft and slow it settles like a hand upon your head Every little colour holds a story left unsaid And you are the warmest one of all the words I've read

  Pre-chorus

  Let the hush come over you, let the day fold down its light Feel the quiet gather soft around you like the arms of night There is nothing you must carry now, nothing left to fight

  Chorus

  Gordon, sleep beneath the light the window's letting through Nothing in this whole wide dark could ever trouble you Gordon, I will stay right here the whole night watching too You're the calmest kind of wonder that this house has ever knew

  Verse 2

  The wool threads hold their colours even though the light is thin Just like you hold something steady, quiet, deep within Every thread of you is gentle, every thread akin To the softest kind of courage that the evening tucks you in

  Chorus

  Gordon, sleep beneath the light the window's letting through Nothing in this whole wide dark could ever trouble you Gordon, I will stay right here the whole night watching too You're the calmest kind of wonder that this house has ever knew

  Bridge

  Rest your small and steady heart, let the hours drift and blend There is nothing you must finish, nothing you must mend

  Chorus

  Gordon, sleep beneath the light the window's letting through Nothing in this whole wide dark could ever trouble you Gordon, I will stay right here the whole night watching too You're the calmest kind of wonder that this house has ever knew

  Outro

  The wool still holds its colour when the street light starts to fade Sleep now, you are held as safely as the light the window made
