  Verse 1

  A small brass glow is spilling soft across the floor tonight and everything it touches turns to honey coloured light your breathing slows to match the hush that settles on this room and sleep is coming gentle now, arriving like the moon

  Pre-chorus

  Hold on to nothing but the warmth this quiet room is keeping let every worry fall away and leave you room for sleeping the whole wide house is settling down to breathe along with you

  Chorus

  Harrison, the light won't fade before the morning comes for you there's nothing in this darkened house that means you any harm rest inside the golden hush that's holding you so near Harrison, you're safe as any heart has ever been right here

  Verse 2

  The floorboards hum a quiet tune beneath that steady amber beam and shadows curl up soft and small like they are in a dream nothing in this room will stir before the morning light returns so let the small flame watch you close while every candle burns

  Pre-chorus

  Hold on to nothing but the warmth this quiet room is keeping let every worry fall away and leave you room for sleeping the whole wide house is settling down to breathe along with you

  Chorus

  Harrison, the light won't fade before the morning comes for you there's nothing in this darkened house that means you any harm rest inside the golden hush that's holding you so near Harrison, you're safe as any heart has ever been right here

  Bridge

  Somewhere past the window all the stars are settling low watching over you the way this lamp was always meant to glow

  Chorus

  Harrison, the light won't fade before the morning comes for you there's nothing in this darkened house that means you any harm rest inside the golden hush that's holding you so near Harrison, you're safe as any heart has ever been right here

  Outro

  Sleep now while the lamp burns low across the wooden floor you are held here, always held here, long after night is o'er

  Verse 1

  Somewhere a train is rolling on beyond the hill tonight its window humming softly as it fades into the dark you don't need to listen, you can let the sound drift by for nothing in this whole wide world can leave its gentle mark

  Pre-chorus

  The rattle far away is just the night breathing slow it carries on past windows while you're warm here in your bed and every sound outside is only saying

  Chorus

  Harrison, my Harrison, the dark is soft and kind close your eyes and rest now, leave the whole wide world behind nothing out there needs you, nothing calls you from your sleep Harrison, my Harrison, it's you that I will keep

  Verse 2

  The metal windows rattle gently as the train rolls through but here the walls are quiet and the blankets hold you tight you are the calm at centre while the distant world moves on and you can drift off knowing you are safe from any night

  Bridge

  Let every far off sound become a hush against your ear there's nothing you must carry, there is nothing you should fear

  Chorus

  Harrison, my Harrison, the dark is soft and kind close your eyes and rest now, leave the whole wide world behind nothing out there needs you, nothing calls you from your sleep Harrison, my Harrison, it's you that I will keep

  Outro

  Far off now the train has gone to wherever trains must go and you are here beside me, sleeping soft and safe and slow

  Verse 1

  Softly the water breathes out and lets go of the shore Somewhere far off a wave hums a note it has hummed before Nothing tonight has to hurry or reach for the light You are the calm that the whole dark is waiting for

  Chorus

  Harrison, close your eyes, let the tide take the day Sleep is a shoreline that gently keeps drawing away Nothing can find you, no hurry, no harm Harrison, rest now, you're held either way

  Verse 2

  Down where the foam goes it leaves not a mark on the sand Quietly, quietly, sleep comes to take you by hand You don't need to follow the pull of the world tonight Only to rest here as soft as the tide was planned

  Pre-chorus

  Hear how the far waves keep folding to hush and to fold Nothing goes missing, though nothing stays still to be told So let your breathing grow slow as the night comes near

  Chorus

  Harrison, close your eyes, let the tide take the day Sleep is a shoreline that gently keeps drawing away Nothing can find you, no hurry, no harm Harrison, rest now, you're held either way

  Bridge

  You are the quiet the whole sea is bending to keep Wrapped up and certain and safe as you slip into sleep

  Chorus

  Harrison, close your eyes, let the tide take the day Sleep is a shoreline that gently keeps drawing away Nothing can find you, no hurry, no harm Harrison, rest now, you're held either way

  Outro

  Somewhere the foam is still sliding away without sound You are the still point where all of that quiet is found
