  Verse 1

  The curtains shiver softly as a train goes rolling far away and the iron wheels are humming you a lullaby to stay the whole wide world is settling into shadows soft and deep and every little sound tonight is only helping you to sleep

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the distant rumble carry you along nothing in this quiet room can ever come to do you harm so rest your head and listen to the gentle rolling song

  Chorus

  Laurie, Laurie, you're the calm before the morning glory every night that passes by is folding into story you are held here, you are safe here, nothing waits to find you sleep now, little Laurie, with the whole wide world behind you

  Verse 2

  Far off tracks are singing something low and slow and kind and the warmth around you now is all you'll ever need to find let the little tremble in the curtains rock you slow you are wrapped in something gentle only you could know

  Bridge

  Somewhere trains are travelling through the velvet dark tonight carrying their quiet hum until the morning light but you are here, unmoving, safe within these walls so still

  Chorus

  Laurie, Laurie, you're the calm before the morning glory every night that passes by is folding into story you are held here, you are safe here, nothing waits to find you sleep now, little Laurie, with the whole wide world behind you

  Outro

  The curtains rest now, still and quiet, as the tracks fall silent too and the whole wide world breathes softly, watching over you

  Verse 1

  A soft little glow slips under the wooden door tonight spilling out gold on the tiles like a secret kept just right nothing to fear in the hush that gathers round your bed you are held so gently here, safe and warm in the light

  Pre-chorus

  The house breathes slow, every corner settling into rest the glow on the floor is just for you, the very best and now your eyes grow heavy, soft and low

  Chorus

  Laurie, the light will stay till morning comes to call hush now, my darling, nothing here will let you fall you are the warmest part of this whole quiet night sleep now, sweet Laurie, wrapped in gold and small

  Verse 2

  The tiles keep the glow like they are holding it for you a small steady comfort while the whole wide house stays true dreams will come softly, drifting in on quiet feet and I will be near you, watching all the night through

  Bridge

  Every shadow bends away and leaves the corners kind nothing but the golden hush and you upon my mind

  Chorus

  Laurie, the light will stay till morning comes to call hush now, my darling, nothing here will let you fall you are the warmest part of this whole quiet night sleep now, sweet Laurie, wrapped in gold and small

  Outro

  The glow beneath the door will keep its gentle place sleep on, my Laurie, safe within its light's embrace

  Verse 1

  Little cups are turning slow on water warm as breath Soap bubbles rise and settle without a sound at all Nothing in this room tonight is hurried or unkind You are held here safely, waiting for the dark to fall

  Pre-chorus

  Steam is climbing gently past the window to the stars Everything is softer now, the whole wide house is still Close your eyes and drift with me, there's nowhere else to be

  Chorus

  Laurie, sleep is calling soft and low Rest inside the calm that we have made You're the warmest light this house will know Laurie, let the quiet be your shade

  Verse 2

  Bubbles pop so quietly you'd hardly hear them go Water holds the little cups the way my arms hold you Nothing has to hurry here, no reason to be far Sleep will find you gently just the way the still things do

  Chorus

  Laurie, sleep is calling soft and low Rest inside the calm that we have made You're the warmest light this house will know Laurie, let the quiet be your shade

  Bridge

  Every small thing settles when the night grows deep and kind Rest now, you are loved beyond what words can ever hold

  Chorus

  Laurie, sleep is calling soft and low Rest inside the calm that we have made You're the warmest light this house will know Laurie, let the quiet be your shade

  Outro

  Somewhere still the little cups are turning soft and slow Sleep now, you are safe here, and I won't let you go
