  Verse 1

  Somewhere a copper wire hums soft above the floor Catching a little dust while you drift near the door Small dials glowing low like a sleepy amber star Nothing tonight can reach you, not one thing so far

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the house breathes slow around your little bed Every quiet corner is watching over your head Close your eyes gently, let the soft dark carry you in

  Chorus

  Mali, the night is warm and it wants you to rest Sleep finds you softest when you're held against a chest Mali, the whole wide dark is gentle now for you There's nothing in this room that isn't tender through and through

  Verse 2

  Under the window the wire keeps its patient hum Waiting so quiet for the morning light to come You are the warmest thing this whole small house can hold Wrapped up in blankets softer than the coldest cold

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the house breathes slow around your little bed Every quiet corner is watching over your head Close your eyes gently, let the soft dark carry you in

  Chorus

  Mali, the night is warm and it wants you to rest Sleep finds you softest when you're held against a chest Mali, the whole wide dark is gentle now for you There's nothing in this room that isn't tender through and through

  Bridge

  Let every small sound settle like dust upon a shelf You never have to carry this quiet by yourself Rest now, you are cradled, you are counted, you are known

  Chorus

  Mali, the night is warm and it wants you to rest Sleep finds you softest when you're held against a chest Mali, the whole wide dark is gentle now for you There's nothing in this room that isn't tender through and through

  Outro

  Somewhere that copper wire is humming soft and low Sleep now, my Mali, safe in the gentle glow

  Verse 1

  Grey ash slides soft down the charred old log tonight Curling like smoke that has nowhere left to go You watch it fall with your eyes so heavy and bright Sleep is coming slow, sleep is coming slow

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing out there can reach you here by the fire's glow Every small sound is fading into the warm and low So let your breathing settle soft, and let it grow

  Chorus

  Mali, Mali, the embers bank down low Hush now in the amber light, let the whole world go Close your eyes where the last logs softly glow Mali, you're the warmest thing this house will ever know

  Verse 2

  A little heat still hums beneath the ashy grey Quiet as a heartbeat keeping time till day You curl in close, you tuck the night away Sleep is coming, sleep is coming, stay

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing out there can reach you here by the fire's glow Every small sound is fading into the warm and low So let your breathing settle soft, and let it grow

  Chorus

  Mali, Mali, the embers bank down low Hush now in the amber light, let the whole world go Close your eyes where the last logs softly glow Mali, you're the warmest thing this house will ever know

  Bridge

  Wherever this small flame of you may drift and roam You carry all this quiet, you carry all this home

  Chorus

  Mali, Mali, the embers bank down low Hush now in the amber light, let the whole world go Close your eyes where the last logs softly glow Mali, you're the warmest thing this house will ever know

  Outro

  Grey ash settles gently, the grate breathes soft and slow Sleep now, Mali, carried in that warm and steady glow

  Verse 1

  A jar of blue glass holds a warm and steady light beside you softly glowing so the dark can never quite surprise you one small flame breathing slow above a thread of black and I am watching over you, however night may hide you

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the glow become a gentle friend feel the hush of evening folding round you without end hold on to nothing, only drift where soft dreams bend

  Chorus

  Mali, sleep is calling soft and low tonight hush now, let the小 flicker be your guide through fading light valley shadows settle, nothing here will do you harm Mali, you are held here, safe and warm and right

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window rain is tapping out a lullaby a quiet kind of music only sleepy hearts can spy you are wrapped in nothing louder than a heartbeat and a sigh and every hush that passes over you is love in disguise

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the glow become a gentle friend feel the hush of evening folding round you without end hold on to nothing, only drift where soft dreams bend

  Chorus

  Mali, sleep is calling soft and low tonight hush now, let the flicker be your guide through fading light valley shadows settle, nothing here will do you harm Mali, you are held here, safe and warm and right

  Bridge

  Even when the little flame has finally burned down low you will carry all its warmth wherever you may go

  Chorus

  Mali, sleep is calling soft and low tonight hush now, let the flicker be your guide through fading light valley shadows settle, nothing here will do you harm Mali, you are held here, safe and warm and right

  Outro

  Rest now, the blue glass jar will keep its quiet ember burning and love will still be waiting soft for you at morning
