  Verse 1

  Far below the cliff the pebbles turn in the tide Softly tumbling where the dark water runs deep Nothing out there needs to trouble what's inside This whole house is built around your sleep

  Chorus

  Hannah, hush now, let the night come slow and kind Every wave out there is rocking you to rest Hannah, close your eyes and leave the world behind You are held here, you are safe, you are blessed

  Verse 2

  The stones don't hurry as they roll along the shore Taking their time in the cool and the foam Nothing in this world could love you any more You are the warmest light in this small home

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere the tide is turning soft and slow Somewhere the wind has settled down to rest And here the lamp is low and getting lower

  Chorus

  Hannah, hush now, let the night come slow and kind Every wave out there is rocking you to rest Hannah, close your eyes and leave the world behind You are held here, you are safe, you are blessed

  Bridge

  Sleep now, there is nothing you need carry Only breath, only warmth, only you The dark outside is gentle, never scary

  Chorus

  Hannah, hush now, let the night come slow and kind Every wave out there is rocking you to rest Hannah, close your eyes and leave the world behind You are held here, you are safe, you are blessed

  Outro

  Down past the cliff the pebbles settle in the sand You are held here tonight, safe within this hand

  Verse 1

  Raindrops are tracing their way down the frosted glass tonight hidden behind the curtain where the candle keeps its light out there the wind is combing through the bare and sleepy trees but nothing cold can reach you here, so rest and take your ease

  Pre-chorus

  The wool hangs heavy, keeping every draught outside the room the whole wide night is turning slow beneath a quiet moon and you are safe as anything while sleep comes rolling in

  Chorus

  Hannah, the dark is only velvet pulled across the pane Hannah, you're warmer than a hundred summers after rain nothing can touch you, nothing can reach where you softly lie sleep now, my Hannah, underneath this gentle sky

  Verse 2

  Somewhere the droplets slide together, joining as they fall learning the shape of that small window like they know it all but you don't need to watch them, you can let your eyelids close the whole room hums the hush that any good night knows

  Chorus

  Hannah, the dark is only velvet pulled across the pane Hannah, you're warmer than a hundred summers after rain nothing can touch you, nothing can reach where you softly lie sleep now, my Hannah, underneath this gentle sky

  Bridge

  Let the cold stay out there tapping, let it wander on alone you are held in something steadier, something like a home

  Chorus

  Hannah, the dark is only velvet pulled across the pane Hannah, you're warmer than a hundred summers after rain nothing can touch you, nothing can reach where you softly lie sleep now, my Hannah, underneath this gentle sky

  Outro

  The window keeps its quiet watch while you dream on unseen and the curtain holds the whole night back so soft and green

  Verse 1

  A little blue light is blinking soft on the kitchen wall Keeping its quiet watch while the whole wide house grows small Nothing needs waking now, everything's settled and still And you are the softest part of it all

  Pre-chorus

  The rain is counting slowly on the window pane The piano hums low like a tide going out again And sleep is coming closer, gentle as it can

  Chorus

  Hannah, the dark is only resting, nothing more Every small light in this house is glowing just for you You are held here, you are wanted here Hannah, this is where you're safe till morning comes for you

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a clock ticks slow like it's rocking itself to rest The blanket knows the shape of you, it holds you like it's blessed Every corner of this room is leaning in to keep you warm And you're the reason this whole house feels dressed

  Pre-chorus

  The rain is counting slowly on the window pane The piano hums low like a tide going out again And sleep is coming closer, gentle as it can

  Chorus

  Hannah, the dark is only resting, nothing more Every small light in this house is glowing just for you You are held here, you are wanted here Hannah, this is where you're safe till morning comes for you

  Bridge

  Close your eyes, there's nothing out there you should fear Somebody's here, and somebody's always near

  Chorus

  Hannah, the dark is only resting, nothing more Every small light in this house is glowing just for you You are held here, you are wanted here Hannah, this is where you're safe till morning comes for you

  Outro

  The little blue light keeps blinking, steady as your breath Sleep now, Hannah, there is nothing here but rest
