  Verse 1

  Soft little steps go padding across the painted floor Someone comes to watch you sleeping, gentle at your door Wool against wood, the quietest sound the house can keep You are the reason this whole home slows down to sleep

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the candle is low and the window still Every small sound in this house is kind and it is still Close your eyes, love, there is nowhere warmer you could be

  Chorus

  Graham, the night has folded softly all around your bed Nothing but calm is coming near that sleepy head You are held here, you are wanted, you are safe today Graham, my dear one, drift so easy into grey

  Verse 2

  The floorboards creak the way they always do at this same hour Someone is near you, watching over you with all their power No storm, no shadow dares to cross this quiet room tonight You are the softest thing this house has ever held so tight

  Chorus

  Graham, the night has folded softly all around your bed Nothing but calm is coming near that sleepy head You are held here, you are wanted, you are safe today Graham, my dear one, drift so easy into grey

  Bridge

  Rest now, there is nothing you must carry through the dark Every breath you take is gentle as a fading spark

  Chorus

  Graham, the night has folded softly all around your bed Nothing but calm is coming near that sleepy head You are held here, you are wanted, you are safe today Graham, my dear one, drift so easy into grey

  Outro

  The slippers rest beside the bed, their little journey done Sleep now, Graham, you are loved beneath the quiet moon

  Verse 1

  Lace is swaying slowly where the window meets the dark Warmth is ticking gently like a small and steady heart Nothing in this room tonight will ever come to harm You are held here closer than the closing of a spark

  Pre-chorus

  Every little breath you take is folding into rest Hush is settling softer than a hand upon your chest Sleep is almost here now, waiting just behind your eyes

  Chorus

  Graham, the night is holding you the way it always will Nobody could love you half so quiet, half so still Rest now, little Graham, let the whole wide world go still Graham, you are safest here upon this windowsill

  Verse 2

  Shadows on the ceiling barely move, they only sway Curtains breathe beside you like they're keeping watch till day Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to find its way You are wrapped in something warmer than the fading grey

  Chorus

  Graham, the night is holding you the way it always will Nobody could love you half so quiet, half so still Rest now, little Graham, let the whole wide world go still Graham, you are safest here upon this windowsill

  Bridge

  Close your eyes and let the ticking carry you away Nothing in the dark tonight was ever meant to stay

  Chorus

  Graham, the night is holding you the way it always will Nobody could love you half so quiet, half so still Rest now, little Graham, let the whole wide world go still Graham, you are safest here upon this windowsill

  Outro

  Lace is still now, barely moving, softest thing I've seen Sleep, my Graham, safe and warm in all this quiet grey

  Verse 1

  Rain finds its way through the leaves above your head Softly it taps like it's learning your name Nothing can reach you while you're tucked into bed You're warm and you're dry and you're never the same

  Pre-chorus

  Close now your eyes while the green world is falling Let every drop be a hush and a sigh Sleep is so close and it's gently, gently calling

  Chorus

  Graham, the rain will not wake you tonight Deep in your blankets you're held and you're still Nothing outside needs to trouble your night Graham, I'll watch as the darkness turns still

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a leaf lets a raindrop go free Down through the branches it drifts out of sight You never have to know what the wide world will be Just rest in the hush of this circle of light

  Bridge

  Every soft patter is only a lullaby in disguise Nothing will find you beneath this good shade

  Chorus

  Graham, the rain will not wake you tonight Deep in your blankets you're held and you're still Nothing outside needs to trouble your night Graham, I'll watch as the darkness turns still

  Outro

  Somewhere the leaves are still catching the rain Sleep now, my Graham, till morning again
