Verse 1

Rain is tapping soft against the window near your bed Streetlamps hum their quiet song out on the road ahead Nothing in that sound was ever meant to trouble you Every drop just sings you gently on to sleep instead

Close your eyes, the house is warm and every door is locked Let the hum outside just melt away like something small So the night can finally hold what it has wanted

Chorus

Mohammad, hush now, let the rain keep tapping soft and low You are held here safer than you could ever know Sleep is only love, wrapped up and waiting patiently Mohammad, drift away, there's nowhere warmer you could go

Verse 2

Somewhere past the glass the world keeps turning without you Lights are glowing gold on wet and empty pavement too But none of that can reach you, tucked in here so deep You're the quiet centre of the whole night coming through

Mohammad, hush now, let the rain keep tapping soft and low You are held here safer than you could ever know Sleep is only love, wrapped up and waiting patiently Mohammad, drift away, there's nowhere warmer you could go

Let the streetlamp glow be just a lantern set for you A little light to watch you while you're dreaming

Verse 1

Shadows are sliding soft across your little sleeping hood Branches are bending low to keep you shaded and unseen Nothing can find you here, nothing unkind or understood Rest now beneath the oak where all the world stays green

Mohammad, close your eyes, the dark is only resting light Somewhere a promise waits to keep you warm and safe tonight Mohammad, hear my voice, it never wanders far from you Nothing will wake you now, the night has nothing left to do

Verse 2

Leaves are painting patterns slow across the fabric where you lie Every little flicker is a hand that smooths away a sigh Sleep pulls softly like a tide that never wants to say goodbye Stars are only waiting for the moment you decide to fly

Pre-chorus

Hush now, let the branches keep their quiet watch above your head Let the shifting shadows hum you gently towards your bed Something warm is holding you before a word is even said

Even when I'm quiet, I am steady here beside your rest Every breath you take is something gentle, something blessed

Chorus

Mohammad, close your eyes, the dark is only resting light Somewhere a promise waits to keep you warm and safe tonight Mohammad, hear my voice, it never wanders far from you Nothing will wake you now, the night has nothing left to do

Outro

Sleep now beneath the branches where the shadows softly creep You are held by something steady, drifting safely into sleep

Verse 1

Cotton curtains lift so slowly above the wooden floor Nothing hurries in this room where the lamp burns low You are curled beneath the blanket, needing nothing more Warm and steady, breathing gentle, you are letting go

Pre-chorus

The draft moves soft as if the night were leaning near Every shadow in the corner has gone kind and clear Close your eyes, my darling, there is nothing left to fear

Chorus

Mohammad, the house is holding you inside its arms tonight Nothing in the dark will ever come to do you harm Sleep on, Mohammad, wrapped in every soft and hidden light Nothing wakes you, nothing shakes you, you are safe and warm

Verse 2

Somewhere past the floorboard the whole house settles into sleep The window barely rattles, just a whisper on the pane You are held here safely while the hours grow slow and deep Nothing in this quiet room could ever bring you pain

Bridge

Let the curtain drift and settle, let your small hands loosen too Rest now, little dreamer, morning waits to come for you

Chorus

Mohammad, the house is holding you inside its arms tonight Nothing in the dark will ever come to do you harm Sleep on, Mohammad, wrapped in every soft and hidden light Nothing wakes you, nothing shakes you, you are safe and warm

Outro

The curtain rests against the frame, its slow breath finally done Sleep now, Mohammad, you are loved by everyone
