  Verse 1

  A small blue flame is bending low along the hall tonight Wax gathers soft in little rings around the sleepy light You breathe so easy, tucked away from any hurry or fright Nothing but calm is coming near you, nothing but soft and right

  Pre-chorus

  Down every hall the house grows quiet, settling into rest Warm air is drifting slow across your little rising chest Close your eyes now, let the hush come find you at its best

  Chorus

  Maurice, the night is holding you the way a hand would hold Sleep is a blanket wrapping round you, keeping out the cold Nothing can reach you here, my dear, nothing rough or bold You are the softest kind of quiet this house has ever told

  Verse 2

  Somewhere a draft goes wandering by but never touches you The flame leans, dips, and rights itself the way small dreamers do You are the warmest corner of this house tonight, it's true Rest now, there's nothing left to chase, nothing to get through

  Bridge

  Let the wick burn low and slower, let the hallway dim Every quiet corner of this house is holding you within

  Chorus

  Maurice, the night is holding you the way a hand would hold Sleep is a blanket wrapping round you, keeping out the cold Nothing can reach you here, my dear, nothing rough or bold You are the softest kind of quiet this house has ever told

  Outro

  The little flame goes soft and low, then settles into sleep So close your eyes now, dear Maurice, and let the quiet keep

  Verse 1

  Rain is drifting sideways past the window near your bed Every drop is tracing paths that gather then release Somewhere past the fences all the garden lights go dim Nothing out there tonight was ever made to bring you fear

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the small sounds fade away Nothing waits beyond the glass but hush and gentle grey Sleep is coming closer now, so soft, so slow

  Chorus

  Maurice, the night has wrapped its arms around this room Rain keeps sliding down in lines that never cease You are held here safer than a lock behind the police Maurice, sleep will carry you the way a tide leads home

  Verse 2

  Somewhere far beyond the fences something small takes flight You are curled up warm while shadows learn to keep the peace Every drop that runs the glass has somewhere soft to land Nothing in the dark tonight would dare to dim your light

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the small sounds fade away Nothing waits beyond the glass but hush and gentle grey Sleep is coming closer now, so soft, so slow

  Chorus

  Maurice, the night has wrapped its arms around this room Rain keeps sliding down in lines that never cease You are held here safer than a lock behind the police Maurice, sleep will carry you the way a tide leads home

  Bridge

  Hush now, let the rain keep counting out the hours You are loved beyond whatever measure could increase

  Chorus

  Maurice, the night has wrapped its arms around this room Rain keeps sliding down in lines that never cease You are held here safer than a lock behind the police Maurice, sleep will carry you the way a tide leads home

  Outro

  Somewhere past the fences the rain has gone to rest Sleep now, small one, you are held and you are blessed

  Verse 1

  Snowflakes touch the old brick wall and pause there for a moment Then they slide so slowly down into the gutter's quiet keep Everything outside is settling into hush and soft devotion And you are wrapped up warmer than the whole world falls asleep

  Chorus

  Maurice, close your eyes now, let the night wrap round you slow Nothing here will hurry you, no reason to release There is time enough for dreaming, time for you to grow Sleep now, little Maurice, gentle as the fleece

  Verse 2

  Every flake that lands tonight will melt and disappear so gently Nothing stays too long against the wall before it softly slides But you are held here always, nothing about you is momentary You're the warmth that never leaves no matter how the cold outside

  Pre-chorus

  Somewhere past the window frost is drawing quiet little patterns And the whole street's gone to sleep beneath a blanket thick and white So let your busy little thoughts go still like snow that slowly softens

  Chorus

  Maurice, close your eyes now, let the night wrap round you slow Nothing here will hurry you, no reason to release There is time enough for dreaming, time for you to grow Sleep now, little Maurice, gentle as the fleece

  Bridge

  Hush now, nothing needs to move, nothing needs to hurry through the dark You are safe as houses, warm as embers holding their last spark

  Chorus

  Maurice, close your eyes now, let the night wrap round you slow Nothing here will hurry you, no reason to release There is time enough for dreaming, time for you to grow Sleep now, little Maurice, gentle as the fleece

  Outro

  The last flake settles softly, brief and bright against the sleeping brick And you are loved as surely as the morning always follows quick
