  Verse 1

  The dust drifts slow through a long silver beam of moonlight Settling soft on the walls where your small breaths go I watch it fall while you rest, so warm and so quiet And nothing tonight has to hurry or know

  Pre-chorus

  The house grows still and the shadows lean in to listen Every small sound settles down into hush And you are held here where the moonlight is drifting

  Chorus

  Mark, you are the warmest thing in this whole dark Sleep now, let the night be soft and be far Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will start Rest easy, Mark, you're my quiet, steady spark

  Verse 2

  The motes turn so slowly, like they too are dreaming Caught in the light that falls gentle and grey I sit here beside you while the whole house is easing Into the calm at the end of the day

  Chorus

  Mark, you are the warmest thing in this whole dark Sleep now, let the night be soft and be far Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will start Rest easy, Mark, you're my quiet, steady spark

  Bridge

  However far the night stretches on, you are held Nothing out there in the dark comes too near Sleep is only another soft room you are welcome in

  Chorus

  Mark, you are the warmest thing in this whole dark Sleep now, let the night be soft and be far Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will start Rest easy, Mark, you're my quiet, steady spark

  Outro

  The silver light still drifts slow while you are sleeping I'll stay right here, keeping watch through the dark

  Verse 1

  The car rolls slow past lamps that glow like honey Tyre tracks gleam behind us, black and bright We're nearly home, the streets are turning quiet And you're the reason I drive soft tonight

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes before we're even parked The engine hums a tune just meant for you Let the hush pull you down into the dark

  Chorus

  Mark, the night has folded soft around you Every road tonight leads back to you Rest now, Mark, there's nothing left to chase here Just the quiet and the love that's always true

  Verse 2

  The lamps go gold on every empty pavement Watching over you the whole way through I'll carry you in from the seat still sleeping Nothing in this world feels far as you

  Bridge

  Let the hum of tyres be your lullaby No need to wake, no need to wonder why

  Chorus

  Mark, the night has folded soft around you Every road tonight leads back to you Rest now, Mark, there's nothing left to chase here Just the quiet and the love that's always true

  Outro

  The tracks fade out behind us into darkness Sleep now, Mark, you're home and you are loved

  Verse 1

  Warm steam is curling soft and slow along the tiled wall tonight Rising so gently it forgets the hurry of the light Somewhere beyond the window the whole wide world turns dark Nothing can reach you here, nothing can touch my Mark

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let your small breath find its quiet place Feel how the warmth is holding you in its slow embrace Sleep is coming closer, soft as steam upon your skin

  Chorus

  Mark, my Mark, the night is only kind Hush now, love, there's nothing left to find Every worry drifts away like some forgotten spark Rest here safe with me tonight, Mark, my Mark

  Verse 2

  Little clouds keep rising up and melting near the ceiling light Nothing ever hurries here, nothing needs to be just right Hold my hand a little longer, drifting out past the dark Sleep will carry you so gently, softer than any spark

  Bridge

  Let the warmth wrap round you like a friend who never leaves Rest inside this quiet where the whole night softly breathes

  Chorus

  Mark, my Mark, the night is only kind Hush now, love, there's nothing left to find Every worry drifts away like some forgotten spark Rest here safe with me tonight, Mark, my Mark

  Outro

  Steam will settle slowly on the tiles before the day is born Sleep now, Mark, you're held here safe until the morn
