  Verse 1

  Soot is shifting slowly down in the sleepy hearth tonight Grey smoke leaning soft against the cold and quiet slate Somewhere past the window the whole wide world is settling too And you are wrapped up warm where every worry loses its bite

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the last small ember dim and fold away There is nothing waiting for you but a gentle kind of dark So let your breathing slow to match the fire's quiet sway

  Chorus

  Heather, Heather, close your eyes, the night is soft as feather Nothing here will stir or fright you whatsoever the weather Every little sound tonight is only wind against the wall Heather, we are here together, holding on to you forever

  Verse 2

  The ash lies still and silver where the flames have gone to rest And the warmth it leaves behind still lingers low along the floor You are held the very same way, safe and certain in your nest There is nothing you could need tonight that isn't already yours

  Bridge

  Sleep can come as gently as the smoke against the stone You were never meant to face the dark tonight alone

  Chorus

  Heather, Heather, close your eyes, the night is soft as feather Nothing here will stir or fright you whatsoever the weather Every little sound tonight is only wind against the wall Heather, we are here together, holding on to you forever

  Outro

  The last of the soot has settled soft and still upon the slate Sleep now, Heather, safe and warm, however long the night may wait

  Verse 1

  Down the hall a small clock swings so slow behind its glass Counting every minute as the evening starts to pass Somewhere near the floorboards give a soft and settling creak You are held here safely while the whole house starts to sleep

  Pre-chorus

  Listen to the hush that settles over every room Nothing here will hurry you, no reason and no rule Close your eyes and drift where all the quiet wants to go

  Chorus

  Heather, Heather, rest your head and let the night grow still Nothing here will wake you now, no worry ever will You are steady as a heartbeat, you are gentle as a breath Heather, you are safe here, safer than a lullaby can say

  Verse 2

  Shadows lean along the wall but none of them will stay Every one will melt away before the break of day Somewhere out beyond the window stars are holding still Waiting just to watch you sleeping, waiting where they will

  Pre-chorus

  Listen to the hush that settles over every room Nothing here will hurry you, no reason and no rule Close your eyes and drift where all the quiet wants to go

  Chorus

  Heather, Heather, rest your head and let the night grow still Nothing here will wake you now, no worry ever will You are steady as a heartbeat, you are gentle as a breath Heather, you are safe here, safer than a lullaby can say

  Bridge

  Sleep is only the house breathing slower around you now Every creak and click is just the dark one saying goodnight somehow

  Chorus

  Heather, Heather, rest your head and let the night grow still Nothing here will wake you now, no worry ever will You are steady as a heartbeat, you are gentle as a breath Heather, you are safe here, safer than a lullaby can say

  Outro

  Somewhere down the hall the clock will keep its gentle time You can rest inside its rhythm, you are safe and you are mine

  Verse 1

  The lace curtain sways so slowly against the cold glass tonight and frost is drawing quiet feathers along the sleepy sill but here inside the warmth is holding you safe and close while the whole wide world goes gentle and still

  Pre-chorus

  Let your breathing slow to match the hush that's settling in feel how nothing out there can reach you, curled up so warm the dark is only a blanket the night is pulling thin

  Chorus

  Heather, the frost can't touch you, not one small bit of cold you are held here so gently, safer than words can say rest now, Heather, let go of all you carried today morning will come to find you exactly where you belong

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a window is catching the last thin light of the moon but you don't need to watch it, you can close your eyes instead every soft thing in this room is leaning in to keep you warm and every quiet breath is a promise softly said

  Bridge

  Nothing will wake you, nothing will call you back tonight you're wrapped in more comfort than any frost could ever bring

  Chorus

  Heather, the frost can't touch you, not one small bit of cold you are held here so gently, safer than words can say rest now, Heather, let go of all you carried today morning will come to find you exactly where you belong

  Outro

  The curtain settles softly as the glass turns silver and still sleep now, the frost stays outside, and you are warm on the sill
