  Verse 1

  Somewhere a wooden runner creaks its way across the floor carrying you softer than a wave along the shore blue carpet holding every sleepy sound you make and nothing in this quiet room could ever keep you awake

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the rocking take you slow feel the warmth of where you rest and where you go down into the dark where all the gentle dreaming grows

  Chorus

  Marvin, hush now, let the night come carving soft and low nothing in this house was ever built to harm you, Marvin, no you're the charming little heartbeat that this whole room's built around safe as any garden ever growing underground

  Verse 2

  Every little creak is just the house learning how to sing rocking back and forth on such a tender, worn old spring you are held by hands that never once will let you fall warm beneath the shadows climbing slowly up the wall

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the rocking take you slow feel the warmth of where you rest and where you go down into the dark where all the gentle dreaming grows

  Chorus

  Marvin, hush now, let the night come carving soft and low nothing in this house was ever built to harm you, Marvin, no you're the charming little heartbeat that this whole room's built around safe as any garden ever growing underground

  Bridge

  Sleep will come like water finding somewhere calm to pool rest here where the night is always gentle, always cool

  Chorus

  Marvin, hush now, let the night come carving soft and low nothing in this house was ever built to harm you, Marvin, no you're the charming little heartbeat that this whole room's built around safe as any garden ever growing underground

  Outro

  Somewhere that same old runner slows to just a whisper now resting where the blue carpet holds you soft and lets you go

  Verse 1

  The dashboard glows so softly onto two small buckled straps holding you so gently through the dark and quiet gaps nothing in this whole wide night can ever come to harm you while the small light hums and hushes, tucked in safe at last

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes, the road is humming low and slow tonight every mile is wrapped in warmth, every star is holding tight and the quiet keeps on calling you to drift and drift so light

  Chorus

  Marvin, the whole night curls around you soft and warm nothing out there in the dark can ever bring you harm you are the sweetest reason every light stays low and calm Marvin, you are held here safer than a seed in garden loam

  Verse 2

  The little straps are holding you the way that we are holding you two small buckles glowing gold like something old and true you don't need to know the distance, only that you're carried through sleep can come now, easy, like the hush the evening's charming

  Chorus

  Marvin, the whole night curls around you soft and warm nothing out there in the dark can ever bring you harm you are the sweetest reason every light stays low and calm Marvin, you are held here safer than a seed in garden loam

  Bridge

  Rest now, let the hum below you carry all you carry nothing you must hold tonight, no reason to feel wary you are loved beyond the reach of any dark or starving cold

  Chorus

  Marvin, the whole night curls around you soft and warm nothing out there in the dark can ever bring you harm you are the sweetest reason every light stays low and calm Marvin, you are held here safer than a seed in garden loam

  Outro

  Sleep now, small light, the buckles glow to say you're near close your eyes, the whole wide night has softened, love, right here

  Verse 1

  Grey woollen threads lie still across a pair of knees tonight Nothing is asking you to move or hurry anymore Corduroy holds the shape of all this quiet like a promise You are the reason these tired hands stay soft and sure

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere a clock has slowed its hands to match your breathing Every small sound in the house is turning down to rest Close your eyes now, let the last of daylight go on leaning

  Chorus

  Marvin, the dark is only warmth with all the lights turned low Sleep is a boat that only knows the way to carry you Nobody rocks it half as gently as this arm will, Marvin There is nowhere safer in the whole wide night than you

  Verse 2

  Wool doesn't wander, it just settles where it's laid to stay Knees don't tire of holding weight they've chosen as their own Somewhere beneath this stillness is a whole heart simply saying You were worth the waiting, worth the softness, worth the home

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere a clock has slowed its hands to match your breathing Every small sound in the house is turning down to rest Close your eyes now, let the last of daylight go on leaning

  Chorus

  Marvin, the dark is only warmth with all the lights turned low Sleep is a boat that only knows the way to carry you Nobody rocks it half as gently as this arm will, Marvin There is nowhere safer in the whole wide night than you

  Bridge

  Hush now, let the little threads of worry come undone Nothing in this room would ever dream of doing you harm

  Chorus

  Marvin, the dark is only warmth with all the lights turned low Sleep is a boat that only knows the way to carry you Nobody rocks it half as gently as this arm will, Marvin There is nowhere safer in the whole wide night than you

  Outro

  Grey wool goes still again across these knees grown warm and slow Sleep now, small one, held exactly where you're meant to go
