  Verse 1

  Heavy flakes are sticking soft to the dark glass tonight Piling up so quiet above the white radiator light Nothing out there needs you now, nothing at all This room is the only place holding you tight

  Pre-chorus

  The cold can press its face against the pane all it wants It never gets past the warmth we keep in here Close your eyes, let the hush carry you further

  Chorus

  Howard, the snow can fall as slow as it likes Nothing tonight is coming to find you here Howard, I'll stay till the whole sky quiets down You are the warm and the world is the towered dark

  Verse 2

  Somewhere the wind is moving through branches you can't see But this small room is holding its breath just for you The radiator hums low beneath the frosted glass And every flake that lands is one less thing to fear

  Bridge

  Let the night pile itself up white against the pane Sleep is the warmest place that you will ever know

  Chorus

  Howard, the snow can fall as slow as it likes Nothing tonight is coming to find you here Howard, I'll stay till the whole sky quiets down You are the warm and the world is the towered dark

  Outro

  The glass will hold its cold and let the warm room be Sleep now, the snow is only saying goodnight to you

  Verse 1

  Brown feathers brush the frost along the window frame tonight and I am watching over you as everything grows still the wooden ledge holds softly onto that small trembling flight while you breathe slow beside me, safe from every kind of chill

  Pre-chorus

  The candle dims to amber and the house begins to sigh the little bird has settled where the cold cannot get through so let your worries empty out and drift away, don't try

  Chorus

  Howard, Howard, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind rest inside the quiet that we build for you tonight nothing here can reach you, nothing troubles what you find Howard, you are held here, warm and wrapped and out of sight

  Verse 2

  I feel the way you're breathing slower, softer than before your small hand finds mine gently as the night wraps round us both whatever waits tomorrow can just wait outside the door for now there's only stillness and the warmth of this one oath

  Chorus

  Howard, Howard, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind rest inside the quiet that we build for you tonight nothing here can reach you, nothing troubles what you find Howard, you are held here, warm and wrapped and out of sight

  Bridge

  Every feather settling is a promise made in low light that you are worth the watching, worth the keeping through the night

  Chorus

  Howard, Howard, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind rest inside the quiet that we build for you tonight nothing here can reach you, nothing troubles what you find Howard, you are held here, warm and wrapped and out of sight

  Outro

  The frost will keep its watch till morning finds the window pane and you will still be loved the same when light comes back again

  Verse 1

  The light slides soft across the ceiling, gold and slow carriages hushing past the window down below and here in this small room the quiet starts to grow holding you closer than the dark could ever know

  Pre-chorus

  Every little sound out there is turning into rest the whole night seems to lean in close and settle on your chest so let your eyes grow heavy now, you've nothing left to prove

  Chorus

  Howard, Howard, the light is moving slow painting gold across the dark you love to watch and know you are held, you are wanted, wherever this light goes Howard, sleep now, let the quiet grow

  Verse 2

  The carriages are fewer now, the street is turning still and the gold keeps sliding gently like it's climbing up a hill nothing out there needs you, nothing asks you for your will just the warm and steady feeling that this house is yours to fill

  Chorus

  Howard, Howard, the light is moving slow painting gold across the dark you love to watch and know you are held, you are wanted, wherever this light goes Howard, sleep now, let the quiet grow

  Bridge

  No need to chase the light, it always comes back round and you are safe here, wrapped in every gentle sound

  Chorus

  Howard, Howard, the light is moving slow painting gold across the dark you love to watch and know you are held, you are wanted, wherever this light goes Howard, sleep now, let the quiet grow

  Outro

  The light will keep on sliding long after you're asleep still painting you in gold, still yours to keep
