  Verse 1

  Soft brown feathers are brushing the window pane tonight Hushing the dark until everything settles calm and right Cold glass holds back the chill so it can't reach where you lie Warm in your blankets while a low moon drifts across the sky

  Chorus

  Marley, Marley, close your eyes and drift away Nothing out there needs you until the break of day Marley, rest now, let the quiet hold you tight Loved beyond measure through this whole slow night

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a wing folds gently against the frosted sill Nothing can trouble you, the whole wide world stands still You are the softest thing this quiet house has known Safe in your bed while the low moon slowly glows

  Pre-chorus

  Feel how the dark leans down to wrap you soft and slow Nothing will wake you, nothing you need to know Just this small room and the moonlight's gentle glow

  Chorus

  Marley, Marley, close your eyes and drift away Nothing out there needs you until the break of day Marley, rest now, let the quiet hold you tight Loved beyond measure through this whole slow night

  Bridge

  Sleep is a nest that was always meant for you Held in the hush where the stars keep watch till morning too

  Chorus

  Marley, Marley, close your eyes and drift away Nothing out there needs you until the break of day Marley, rest now, let the quiet hold you tight Loved beyond measure through this whole slow night

  Outro

  Somewhere those brown wings still rest against the glass Sleep now, dear Marley, let this soft night pass

  Verse 1

  The brass swings slow inside its wooden case tonight Counting the hours so soft they hardly seem to fall You're wrapped in blankets warm beneath the fading light Marley, my darling, safest one of all

  Pre-chorus

  Every tick is gentle, every tock is kind Nothing rushes here, the whole room breathes in time So let your busy little thoughts unwind

  Chorus

  Marley, the pendulum is swinging low and slow Wherever dreams may carry you, I'll still be near You're held by every soft thing this house can know Marley, close your eyes now, there is nothing here to fear

  Verse 2

  The polished wood remembers every sleepy head before Rocking gently like a boat that never learned to hurry You're safe as candlelight behind a quiet door Nothing in this room has ever caused you worry

  Bridge

  Rest now where the brass hangs still and slow Let the whole wide house grow dim and low

  Chorus

  Marley, the pendulum is swinging low and slow Wherever dreams may carry you, I'll still be near You're held by every soft thing this house can know Marley, close your eyes now, there is nothing here to fear

  Outro

  The brass hangs still now, the wooden case is calm Sleep on, my Marley, safe within its quiet arm

  Verse 1

  Watch how the fire folds itself down soft and slow tonight Grey ash is settling gently over one small coal of red Nothing in this room is asking you to keep your eyes open So let your breathing follow the warmth down into bed

  Pre-chorus

  Close your hands now, there is nothing you need to hold Let the hush come nearer, let it settle in your chest Sleep is only warmth that hasn't told you yet

  Chorus

  Marley, the dark is only a blanket pulled up tight There's an ember still glowing long after the flames have gone You are held the way that quiet holds the last of the light Sleep now, Marley, sleep on, sleep on

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a door has settled shut against the cold outside Your small breath keeps its own time, steady as anything can be I'll stay here while the last log turns to softly breathing ash You don't have to hold on to a single thing but me

  Pre-chorus

  Close your hands now, there is nothing you need to hold Let the hush come nearer, let it settle in your chest Sleep is only warmth that hasn't told you yet

  Chorus

  Marley, the dark is only a blanket pulled up tight There's an ember still glowing long after the flames have gone You are held the way that quiet holds the last of the light Sleep now, Marley, sleep on, sleep on

  Bridge

  Even the smallest coal remembers how to keep on burning low Even in sleep you are never far from anyone who loves you so

  Chorus

  Marley, the dark is only a blanket pulled up tight There's an ember still glowing long after the flames have gone You are held the way that quiet holds the last of the light Sleep now, Marley, sleep on, sleep on

  Outro

  Somewhere the ash keeps its quiet watch over one warm ember still Sleep on, Marley, sleep on, you are held and always will
