  Verse 1

  Down in the hearth the fire has gone low and gentle Cooling to soft white ash, quiet and slow Nothing tonight is asking you to travel Here you can rest, with nowhere to go

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the dark is only a blanket Nothing will wake and nothing will call Close your eyes soft, and let the room hold you

  Chorus

  Margot, my love, the night is turning gentle Warm as the ember settling into grey Sleep finds you now, however far you wander Margot, you're safe till the light of day

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a small red glow keeps watching over you Steady and slow as your breath in the dark You don't need to hold on to anything tonight Let the whole house grow quiet round your heart

  Chorus

  Margot, my love, the night is turning gentle Warm as the ember settling into grey Sleep finds you now, however far you wander Margot, you're safe till the light of day

  Bridge

  Every small sound is only the house settling Easing its bones the way you ease into sleep No one will leave while the ash keeps its colour You are the warmth this whole night means to keep

  Chorus

  Margot, my love, the night is turning gentle Warm as the ember settling into grey Sleep finds you now, however far you wander Margot, you're safe till the light of day

  Outro

  Somewhere the fire has softened to a whisper And you are the warmth that was never going out

  Verse 1

  Yellow light is pooling soft against the frosted pane Nothing in this room could ever come to do you harm Warm and still beneath the hush of this quiet windowpane You are held here safely, tucked inside my arm

  Chorus

  Margot, the night is only warmth and glow Close your eyes and let the hours go slow Sleep will carry you wherever dreams may go Margot, I will hold you, soft and low

  Verse 2

  Outside the glass the lamps are turning gold and dim Frost has drawn its lace across the world tonight Nothing out there matters, none of it can dim How much you are loved beneath this gentle light

  Pre-chorus

  Rest your small breath easy, let it drift and fall Everything is quiet, everything is kind Sleep is only warmth now, wrapping around us all

  Chorus

  Margot, the night is only warmth and glow Close your eyes and let the hours go slow Sleep will carry you wherever dreams may go Margot, I will hold you, soft and low

  Bridge

  Let the frost keep tracing shapes we'll never see Nothing needs to wake you, nothing needs to know You are safe inside this glow, just you and me

  Chorus

  Margot, the night is only warmth and glow Close your eyes and let the hours go slow Sleep will carry you wherever dreams may go Margot, I will hold you, soft and low

  Outro

  Somewhere still the lamps are glowing gold through frosted glass Sleep now, little Margot, safe until the morning comes to pass

  Verse 1

  Stripes on the wall are melting soft into the grey and somewhere behind them the old wood cupboard breathes away I feel you slowing, your small hand loosening its hold and every worry of the day turns quiet, turns to gold

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the lamp burn low and small hear how gently the hush comes falling on us all stay right here while the dark folds soft around your name

  Chorus

  Margot, Margot, the night is only kind you are the safest thing this house will ever find hush now, Margot, let the quiet carry you there is nothing waiting here but love, plain and true

  Verse 2

  You curl the way the shadow curls along the floor content to know there's nothing else you're needing anymore I watch you settle deeper than the fading light can go and love you more than any word I know to show

  Bridge

  Sleep isn't far, it's only just beyond the door you don't need to reach for it, it's yours to keep, be sure

  Chorus

  Margot, Margot, the night is only kind you are the safest thing this house will ever find hush now, Margot, let the quiet carry you there is nothing waiting here but love, plain and true

  Outro

  The stripes have gone to shadow and the cupboard's fast asleep so rest now, little Margot, in the peace that we will keep
