  Verse 1

  Something warm is sliding slowly down the old brick wall tonight Settling soft in corners where the quiet loves to stay You are held the way that darkness holds a candle's light Nothing in this house will ever let your calm give way

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the evening fold in close around your head Every worry drifting out like smoke through a warm flue Sleep is coming closer, closer, to your little bed

  Chorus

  Harley, Harley, sink into the deep and gentle dark Nothing here will ever come to trouble you or harm Rest here, little Harley, safe beside the fading spark Warm as embers, held as gently as a sleepy arm

  Verse 2

  Grey soot slides down red brick walls in houses old and kind Falling soft the way your eyelids fall when day is through Every hearth has held a hundred sleepers in its mind And tonight this whole house holds its breath for only you

  Bridge

  Rest your small hands, let the whole wide night grow still Sleep will carry you as gently as it always will

  Chorus

  Harley, Harley, sink into the deep and gentle dark Nothing here will ever come to trouble you or harm Rest here, little Harley, safe beside the fading spark Warm as embers, held as gently as a sleepy arm

  Outro

  Somewhere soot is falling soft down old and sleeping brick You are warm, you are held, and morning will come quick

  Verse 1

  A slow white light turns far beyond the window pane It sweeps the ceiling soft and finds you once again It does not hurry, it only glides and stays It circles round to watch you through the quiet haze

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the turning light keep watch Nothing in this room will ever reach you here Rest a little deeper, love is standing near

  Chorus

  Harley, the light is turning soft above your head Sleep now, Harley, safe and warm inside your bed Nothing can shake you while the slow beam finds its way Harley, my dear one, you are held till break of day

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a lighthouse leans against the far off dark Sending its beam to trace a gentle steady arc It never asks for thanks, it just keeps turning round The way my arms stay wrapped around you, safe and sound

  Bridge

  Let the hush come slow like tide against the shore You are the calm this whole house waits for Nothing tonight will ever ask you to be strong

  Chorus

  Harley, the light is turning soft above your head Sleep now, Harley, safe and warm inside your bed Nothing can shake you while the slow beam finds its way Harley, my dear one, you are held till break of day

  Outro

  The light still turns out there beyond the window pane But you are already drifting, safe from any harm

  Verse 1

  Look how the light lies soft and gold across the floor tonight Little bits of dust go drifting slow inside that quiet beam You are the reason this whole room feels warm and full of light You watch it fall in silence like the ending of a dream

  Pre-chorus

  The window dims a little more with every breath you take Your eyes are growing heavy though you fight to keep them wide There is nowhere safer than the corner where we stay

  Chorus

  Harley, hush now, let the evening hold you close and still Nothing in this world will ever wish you any harm Sleep will come the way that light comes drifting past the sill Harley, you are always folded safe inside this arm

  Verse 2

  The floorboards creak so gently underneath our rocking chair Every speck of dust is just the day deciding it can rest You are held here tighter than the quiet holds the air Of everyone I've tucked in close, you always felt the best

  Bridge

  Soon the gold will fade to grey and grey will turn to blue Nothing about the dark tonight has any claim on you

  Chorus

  Harley, hush now, let the evening hold you close and still Nothing in this world will ever wish you any harm Sleep will come the way that light comes drifting past the sill Harley, you are always folded safe inside this arm

  Outro

  The light has gone but what it left is warm upon the floor Sleep now, little one, you're loved as much as light, and more
