  Verse 1

  Watch the small dust turning slow above the quiet cot Drifting without hurry through the pale and fading light Nothing in this room is asking anything of what you've got Only settling gently now, only softening the night

  Chorus

  Madison, the dark is only kindness wearing grey Madison, you're held here closer than you'll ever know Nothing needs deciding, there's no reason left to stay awake Rest inside the quiet that was always yours to hold

  Verse 2

  Somewhere far off houses settle, roofs are breathing slow Every small light in the street is dimming one by one You don't have to watch it, you don't have to know You are warmer than the last spark of the sun

  Pre-chorus

  Let your breathing find the rhythm that the whole house keeps Feel the weight behind your eyelids growing kind and slow There's a hush that's only waiting for the moment that you sleep

  Chorus

  Madison, the dark is only kindness wearing grey Madison, you're held here closer than you'll ever know Nothing needs deciding, there's no reason left to stay awake Rest inside the quiet that was always yours to hold

  Bridge

  Nothing in this house will move to wake you before dawn Every soft thing here was chosen just to keep you calm

  Chorus

  Madison, the dark is only kindness wearing grey Madison, you're held here closer than you'll ever know Nothing needs deciding, there's no reason left to stay awake Rest inside the quiet that was always yours to hold

  Outro

  The dust has stopped its turning, settled soft as breath can be Sleep now, you were always safe, and always loved by me

  Verse 1

  Heavy socks on old wood, and still I walk so slow Every creak gets swallowed before it starts to grow Down this narrow hall the lamplight barely stirs You are why I keep my footsteps low

  Chorus

  Madison, the house breathes soft around you now Nothing here will wake you, nothing will allow Sleep to slip away when you have only just begun Rest easy, Madison, beneath this quiet sun

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the doorframe the whole wide night is still Warmth is what I carry to the top of every hill You curl your hand around my sleeve without a sound I would climb these stairs a hundred times, I will

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the hallway hold its breath a while longer Let the dark stay gentle, let it just grow softer Close your eyes, there's nothing here but me and you

  Chorus

  Madison, the house breathes soft around you now Nothing here will wake you, nothing will allow Sleep to slip away when you have only just begun Rest easy, Madison, beneath this quiet sun

  Bridge

  Every floorboard learns to whisper when you're near Wrapped in wool and warmth, there's nothing left to fear You are held so closely nothing else gets in

  Chorus

  Madison, the house breathes soft around you now Nothing here will wake you, nothing will allow Sleep to slip away when you have only just begun Rest easy, Madison, beneath this quiet sun

  Outro

  Somewhere down that hall my footsteps still go slow You are safe and sleeping, and that's all I need to know

  Verse 1

  White lace is lifting soft against the dark night glass and something in that motion tells the hours to pass slow You're tucked in warm while breezes drift so far outside safe in this room where nothing needs to hurry or hide

  Pre-chorus

  Close now those eyes that carried all the day's bright light let every worry loosen and dissolve into the night because there's nothing waiting here but rest and you tonight

  Chorus

  Madison, the dark is only velvet, only kind sleep will come and find you gently, take its time Madison, I'll watch the lace fall still against the pane you are held, you are wanted, you are loved again

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window, quiet streets are turning grey but nothing out there matters now, no need to look that way Feel the blanket settle heavy, soft around your chest this small room is the whole world, and the world's at rest

  Pre-chorus

  Close now those eyes that carried all the day's bright light let every worry loosen and dissolve into the night because there's nothing waiting here but rest and you tonight

  Chorus

  Madison, the dark is only velvet, only kind sleep will come and find you gently, take its time Madison, I'll watch the lace fall still against the pane you are held, you are wanted, you are loved again

  Bridge

  Hush now, let the breathing slow to match the breeze nothing here will hurt you, nothing here will leave

  Chorus

  Madison, the dark is only velvet, only kind sleep will come and find you gently, take its time Madison, I'll watch the lace fall still against the pane you are held, you are wanted, you are loved again

  Outro

  The lace hangs still now, the breeze has gone to rest and you sleep on, held closest, easiest, and best
