  Verse 1

  Orange light comes sliding soft across the floor tonight holding you so gently in its slow and drowsy light the whole city hums low outside this warm little space you are safe here in my arms, held tight

  Pre-chorus

  Every stop we pass is one more mile of quiet the engine hums a tune too low for you to fight so close your eyes and drift where I am taking you

  Chorus

  Kit, my darling, the night is soft and slow rest your head down, let the whole world go nothing here can touch you, nothing here will hit Kit, you're held, and that's all you need to know

  Verse 2

  Windows blur with colours as the streets slide gently by shadows dance so kindly, never meaning any harm you breathe in time with wheels that turn beneath us both tucked into the crook of my warm arm

  Chorus

  Kit, my darling, the night is soft and slow rest your head down, let the whole world go nothing here can touch you, nothing here will hit Kit, you're held, and that's all you need to know

  Bridge

  Somewhere out beyond this glass the whole world sleeps too every light we pass is just a small goodnight to you

  Chorus

  Kit, my darling, the night is soft and slow rest your head down, let the whole world go nothing here can touch you, nothing here will hit Kit, you're held, and that's all you need to know

  Outro

  Let the orange light keep flickering soft across the floor you are already dreaming, and I won't wake you anymore

  Verse 1

  The lamp is low and the dust drifts soft through its glow Turning so slowly it hardly seems to move at all Everything settles the longer you watch it flow I will stay here beside you till the quiet lets you fall

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the small light have its say Every worry can wait for another day There is nothing out there that can find you here tonight

  Chorus

  Kit, my whole heart rests when you finally settle in Nothing in this wide world could ever make me quit You are the warmest thing that this house has ever held Sleep now, Kit, and know how loved you are, just as you sit

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window the whole town is turning grey Rooftops going quiet as the last cars drift on home You are curled up safely while the dark rolls in to stay Nothing needs to reach you, little one, you are not alone

  Bridge

  Let the hush come over you like water, slow and deep Breathe it in and out until your hands forget to grip Every little sound tonight is only part of sleep

  Chorus

  Kit, my whole heart rests when you finally settle in Nothing in this wide world could ever make me quit You are the warmest thing that this house has ever held Sleep now, Kit, and know how loved you are, just as you sit

  Outro

  The dust has settled now, the lamp burns low and small I will watch it with you until the morning comes to call

  Verse 1

  The fire is breathing slower now, soft and low and small Grey ash falls like feathers down around the glowing bed Nothing in this room will ever let you slip or fall There is a warm and steady place to lay your head

  Pre-chorus

  Watch how gently every ember learns to dim and rest Nothing needs to hurry now, nothing needs to grow Close your eyes and let the quiet carry what is best

  Chorus

  Kit, the whole wide dark is holding you so near Nothing in the shadows means a single thing to fear Kit, you are the warmest light that this house will ever hold Sleep now while the embers turn to soft and sleepy gold

  Verse 2

  The last small flame is curling into orange, then to grey Everything is settling the way it always will Your breathing finds the same slow rhythm as the fading day And every worried thought of mine goes quiet and goes still

  Chorus

  Kit, the whole wide dark is holding you so near Nothing in the shadows means a single thing to fear Kit, you are the warmest light that this house will ever hold Sleep now while the embers turn to soft and sleepy gold

  Bridge

  Somewhere deep beneath the ash the warmth is holding on It will still be there for you when morning comes along

  Chorus

  Kit, the whole wide dark is holding you so near Nothing in the shadows means a single thing to fear Kit, you are the warmest light that this house will ever hold Sleep now while the embers turn to soft and sleepy gold

  Outro

  The ash lies soft and quiet over embers turning grey Sleep now, little one, and drift as gently as the day
