  Verse 1

  High on the wall where the dark wallpaper glows you watch the little brass key catch the light and I keep it there just to open your dreams turning them soft and turning them bright

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing can reach you while that small key waits holding the hush of the whole quiet house and the night leans in close, gentle and slow

  Chorus

  Holly, my Holly, the house breathes so still every small sound settling down for the night close now your eyes, let the brass key keep watch Holly, you're held until morning light

  Verse 2

  The hook on the wall never lets the key fall steady as breathing, as constant as this and I am as certain that you will be safe wrapped in the warmth of a slow goodnight kiss

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing can reach you while that small key waits holding the hush of the whole quiet house and the night leans in close, gentle and slow

  Chorus

  Holly, my Holly, the house breathes so still every small sound settling down for the night close now your eyes, let the brass key keep watch Holly, you're held until morning light

  Bridge

  Sleep now, and let every worry unwind the key never moves and neither does my love

  Chorus

  Holly, my Holly, the house breathes so still every small sound settling down for the night close now your eyes, let the brass key keep watch Holly, you're held until morning light

  Outro

  The brass key still hangs where the soft shadows fall and you, little Holly, are held safe through it all

  Verse 1

  The grey ash slides down slowly through the red and fading coals While the whole small world is quiet, breathing soft around your bed Every ember dims to whisper as the warm night gently rolls And I sit here close beside you with my hand upon your head

  Pre-chorus

  The fire is turning gentle, letting go of all its flame Everything is settling softer, nothing here will cause you harm So let your eyes grow heavy as I quietly say your name

  Chorus

  Holly, Holly, sleep is calling soft and low Nothing in this room can touch you, nothing you should fear Close your eyes and drift on gently where the warm winds blow Holly, you are held and treasured, you are safe right here

  Verse 2

  The coals keep glowing quiet under all that soft grey ash Nothing rushes in this stillness, nothing here will ever crash You are wrapped in every blanket, every hush the night can give Sleep will carry you so gently, this is how the calm days live

  Bridge

  Rest your small hand on my finger, let the fire hum you down Nothing waits beyond the window, only stars in velvet gown

  Chorus

  Holly, Holly, sleep is calling soft and low Nothing in this room can touch you, nothing you should fear Close your eyes and drift on gently where the warm winds blow Holly, you are held and treasured, you are safe right here

  Outro

  The ash lies soft and silver where the last light used to glow Sleep now, Holly, you are cherished, and I will not let you go

  Verse 1

  A strap swings slow above the seats where you lie curled and warm Every light outside the window drifts by soft as falling snow Nothing in this whole wide night can reach you here You are held so gently, safe from any storm

  Pre-chorus

  Your breathing slows to match the wheels that hum below Rocking easy, rocking sweet, the journey nearly done Close your eyes, we're almost to the place you're going

  Chorus

  Holly, Holly, rest your head, the night is soft and slow Nobody in this whole wide world was ever loved you so Let the hush of home wrap round you, warm and low Holly, you're the reason every light will always glow

  Verse 2

  Dark blue seats have carried you while dreams began to rise Somewhere past the glass the streets are turning into skies You don't need to know the way, just let your eyelids fall Safe inside this rumbling hush, no need to wonder why

  Chorus

  Holly, Holly, rest your head, the night is soft and slow Nobody in this whole wide world was ever loved you so Let the hush of home wrap round you, warm and low Holly, you're the reason every light will always glow

  Bridge

  Hold on to nothing but the warmth against your side There's nowhere in this whole night that you need to hide

  Chorus

  Holly, Holly, rest your head, the night is soft and slow Nobody in this whole wide world was ever loved you so Let the hush of home wrap round you, warm and low Holly, you're the reason every light will always glow

  Outro

  That strap still sways above you as the last stop nears Sleep now, Holly, you are carried gently home from here
