  Verse 1

  A small light hangs above us on its crooked, tired wire and moths keep turning round it like they never seem to tire but you are curled up quiet, sinking soft into the bed and nothing in this room could ever match your gentle fire

  Pre-chorus

  The wallpaper is peeling but the corner where you rest is warm hush now, let the shadows lose their shape and lose their form let every worry settle, there is nothing here to fear

  Chorus

  Leah, close your eyes now, let the whole wide night grow still there is no idea sweeter than the one that you are here Leah, I will watch you like the moths watch that one light round and round and round you till the morning draws you near

  Verse 2

  The bulb will burn till sunrise, throwing gold across the floor and I will stay beside you, I don't need to watch the door because the only thing that matters is the breathing that I hear soft and slow and steady, like a tide upon the shore

  Chorus

  Leah, close your eyes now, let the whole wide night grow still there is no idea sweeter than the one that you are here Leah, I will watch you like the moths watch that one light round and round and round you till the morning draws you near

  Bridge

  Even crooked wires can hold something precious in the dark even peeling walls can shelter something bright as any spark you are that small warmth this whole tired house was built around

  Chorus

  Leah, close your eyes now, let the whole wide night grow still there is no idea sweeter than the one that you are here Leah, I will watch you like the moths watch that one light round and round and round you till the morning draws you near

  Outro

  The light will dim to nothing but you'll never be alone this crooked little corner will always be your home

  Verse 1

  Drizzle taps so softly on the fabric over your head Little leaf shapes wander slow across the grey above you Nothing out there hurries and there's nothing to be feared Rain is just the night's way of saying that I love you

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the small world dim and blur Feel the hush that gathers when the light begins to fade Sleep is coming gently, it remembers who you are

  Chorus

  Leah, hear the quiet as it wraps around your bed Every little worry has already drifted far You are safe as moonlight resting soft above your head Leah, you're my dearest and my only idea

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window all the world has slowed to grey Shadows move so gently like they're careful not to wake you Nothing needs an answer, there's no reason and no way Only breathing softly while the dark begins to take you

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the small world dim and blur Feel the hush that gathers when the light begins to fade Sleep is coming gently, it remembers who you are

  Chorus

  Leah, hear the quiet as it wraps around your bed Every little worry has already drifted far You are safe as moonlight resting soft above your head Leah, you're my dearest and my only idea

  Bridge

  Rain will pass by morning and the grey will turn to gold But you'll still be held here long after it is gone

  Chorus

  Leah, hear the quiet as it wraps around your bed Every little worry has already drifted far You are safe as moonlight resting soft above your head Leah, you're my dearest and my only idea

  Outro

  Let the shadows settle soft and slow across your face Sleep now, little Leah, you are held in this warm place

  Verse 1

  There's a soft old hiss from the speaker on the sideboard Humming low like the house is breathing slow with you Every little sound in this room is turning gentle Curling round the corners the way warm shadows do

  Chorus

  Leah, Leah, the night is holding steady Nothing here will hurry you, nothing pulls away Close your eyes and drift on the hush of something steady You are so deeply loved at the ending of this day

  Verse 2

  The pine is catching light from a lamp that's nearly sleeping Soft as the hush that sits beneath every lullaby Nothing in this room has anywhere to be tonight Only you, only rest, only breath easing by

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere the static hums its slow, forgiving idea Telling you gently that you're allowed to let go Sleep is only love with the lights turned down low

  Chorus

  Leah, Leah, the night is holding steady Nothing here will hurry you, nothing pulls away Close your eyes and drift on the hush of something steady You are so deeply loved at the ending of this day

  Bridge

  Rock slow, rock slow, like the chair beneath us knows you Nothing sharp can reach you here, nothing loud or grey Just the hush, just the warmth, just the dark that holds you gently Carrying you softly to wherever good dreams stay

  Chorus

  Leah, Leah, the night is holding steady Nothing here will hurry you, nothing pulls away Close your eyes and drift on the hush of something steady You are so deeply loved at the ending of this day

  Outro

  The speaker hums its quiet static, soft as breathing Sleep now, Leah, safe within this gentle sound
