  Verse 1

  Little threads of wool are glowing orange and slow tonight Soft as breathing, soft as everything turning out right Close your eyes and let the small light have its say Nothing in this room will ever lead you astray

  Pre-chorus

  Heat is fading gentle now, easing into grey Hush is spreading like a blanket pulled to stay Sleep is only one more quiet breath away

  Chorus

  Ian, Ian, the flicker dims to gold Nothing here will let you down, nothing here turns cold You are held the way that wool is held by flame Ian, drift on now, you are always safe by name

  Verse 2

  Watch the orange settle into embers, soft and low Feel the warmth still humming even after the light goes You were never meant to face the dark alone tonight Sleep will carry what the little heater gave as light

  Pre-chorus

  Heat is fading gentle now, easing into grey Hush is spreading like a blanket pulled to stay Sleep is only one more quiet breath away

  Chorus

  Ian, Ian, the flicker dims to gold Nothing here will let you down, nothing here turns cold You are held the way that wool is held by flame Ian, drift on now, you are always safe by name

  Bridge

  Somewhere past the window, the whole night is turning slow Every star is just a little heater's afterglow You are wrapped in something warmer than the wool could ever be

  Chorus

  Ian, Ian, the flicker dims to gold Nothing here will let you down, nothing here turns cold You are held the way that wool is held by flame Ian, drift on now, you are always safe by name

  Outro

  The last thread glows and softens, and so do you Sleep now, Ian, safe and warm the whole night through

  Verse 1

  Somebody is coming just to check that you're alright Turning the brass handle soft so nothing wakes tonight Floorboards give a whisper but they won't disturb your rest Held so gently in the hush, you're tucked in safe and tight

  Chorus

  Ian, close your eyes now, let the whole night hold you still Nobody will wake you, nothing here can do you ill Ian, you're the reason every quiet step is slow Sleep is just a soft place where you're loved beyond your will

  Verse 2

  Shadows on the wall are only shapes that mean no harm Wrapped inside the blankets like a small and steady charm You don't have to open eyes to know that you're not alone Breathing slow beside you is a keeper of the calm

  Pre-chorus

  Listen how the hinges barely make a single sound Nothing in this house would ever let you hit the ground So let your heavy eyelids drift to where the dreams are found

  Chorus

  Ian, close your eyes now, let the whole night hold you still Nobody will wake you, nothing here can do you ill Ian, you're the reason every quiet step is slow Sleep is just a soft place where you're loved beyond your will

  Bridge

  Someone's always watching from the doorway just in case Loving you in silence is a warm and steady place

  Chorus

  Ian, close your eyes now, let the whole night hold you still Nobody will wake you, nothing here can do you ill Ian, you're the reason every quiet step is slow Sleep is just a soft place where you're loved beyond your will

  Outro

  Somebody is closing the door as slow as it began Sleep now, you are held here, safe and certain, little Ian

  Verse 1

  Grey feathers settle soft on the cold and quiet gutter tonight Clouds are folding low, tucking the whole sky into rest Nothing out there needs you awake to make it right Sleep is already spreading warm across your chest

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere a wing has stopped its long and weary flying Somewhere the world has hushed to hold its breath Close your eyes now, past all the trying

  Chorus

  Ian, the night is wrapping soft around you like a coat Hush now, nothing out there needs to climb or fight or try You are the warmest thing this quiet dark can hold Ian, sleep is close as breathing, gentle as a sigh

  Verse 2

  Underneath the clouded dark, small things are held and known Not a single feather falls unwatched or far from care Rest here safe, you never sleep alone Somebody's love is folded soft into the air

  Chorus

  Ian, the night is wrapping soft around you like a coat Hush now, nothing out there needs to climb or fight or try You are the warmest thing this quiet dark can hold Ian, sleep is close as breathing, gentle as a sigh

  Bridge

  Let the grey sky keep its quiet, let the cold wind roam You are held inside the warmest, softest home

  Chorus

  Ian, the night is wrapping soft around you like a coat Hush now, nothing out there needs to climb or fight or try You are the warmest thing this quiet dark can hold Ian, sleep is close as breathing, gentle as a sigh

  Outro

  Somewhere on the gutter still, the feathers rest unshaken Sleep now, love is with you when you wake
