Verse 1
The light from the doorway is spinning slow gold in the dark and every small speck of it drifts like it's dancing for you the whole house is quiet and holding its breath just to watch so rest now, the glow will keep turning till morning comes through
Pre-chorus
Close your eyes while the dust keeps its slow, easy round let the hush of the hallway settle soft without sound and the warmth by the door will stay glowing for you
Chorus
Matthew, the light is still turning for you holding you safe as the whole night grew the glow round the door is a promise that's true so sleep now, my Matthew, the dark won't shoo you
Verse 2
Somewhere beyond that soft orange line the whole world has gone still every worry of the day has curled up and drifted from view only the slow gold dust keeps moving, patient and low and it circles you gently, the way that love always does too
Pre-chorus
Close your eyes while the dust keeps its slow, easy round let the hush of the hallway settle soft without sound and the warmth by the door will stay glowing for you
Chorus
Matthew, the light is still turning for you holding you safe as the whole night grew the glow round the door is a promise that's true so sleep now, my Matthew, the dark won't shoo you
Bridge
Nothing can reach you where the warm light lies no shadow will find you while the small dust flies you are held here so gently, past counting, past measure
Chorus
Matthew, the light is still turning for you holding you safe as the whole night grew the glow round the door is a promise that's true so sleep now, my Matthew, the dark won't shoo you

Verse 1
A brass key turns slowly inside the old oak door and every room grows quiet just for you the house breathes out and settles down upon the floor while soft rain hums a tune the whole night through
Chorus
Matthew, the dark is only kindness wearing grey nothing in this house would ever frighten you close your eyes now, let the day just drift away Matthew, I will keep the porch light burning through
Verse 2
The latch clicks gentle, softer than a lullaby hummed low and every shadow folds itself in two the rain keeps tapping secrets on the window just to watch the quiet fall on you
Pre-chorus
I'll leave the hallway lamp a little bright for you I'll leave this heavy door unlocked but true so when you dream, you'll know just who is watching over
Chorus
Matthew, the dark is only kindness wearing grey nothing in this house would ever frighten you close your eyes now, let the day just drift away Matthew, I will keep the porch light burning through
Bridge
Rain on the roof is only saying hush piano notes are falling soft as feathers do nothing can reach you past this gentle brush of quiet settling warm and close to you
Chorus
Matthew, the dark is only kindness wearing grey nothing in this house would ever frighten you close your eyes now, let the day just drift away Matthew, I will keep the porch light burning through

Read the lyricsHide the lyrics
Verse 1
The water's gone quiet and the bubbles are turning few One more little sigh and then another one will pop Everything today that was so big is shrinking small for you Nothing in this room is asking anything to stop
Chorus
Matthew, Matthew, let the last light go Nobody needs you awake for one more thing You can rest now soft as foam however slow Matthew, this is all the safety that tonight will bring
Verse 2
Watch how gently every little bubble finds its end No sound at all just a small round world giving way There's nothing here that you have to hold or mend You can let the whole warm day just float and fade away
Pre-chorus
The water's cooling slow beneath the quiet air Your breathing's getting heavier, your eyes are growing tame And there's nowhere in the whole wide dark you're needed anywhere but here
Chorus
Matthew, Matthew, let the last light go Nobody needs you awake for one more thing You can rest now soft as foam however slow Matthew, this is all the safety that tonight will bring
Bridge
Sleep is just the water settling still No more ripples, nothing left to do The whole house is holding very quiet and it will Keep on holding safe and warm all night for you
Chorus
Matthew, Matthew, let the last light go Nobody needs you awake for one more thing You can rest now soft as foam however slow Matthew, this is all the safety that tonight will bring
Outro
The water's still now and the very last bubble's gone Sleep the same soft way, Matthew, and drift on
