  Verse 1

  The soot drifts slow behind the little wire guard tonight A spark climbs up and fades before it learns to fly You watch it all with eyes that soon will lose the light Wrapped up so warm, so safe, beneath this quiet sky

  Pre-chorus

  The embers settle lower as the room breathes soft and slow Every small sound folds away to let the hush grow deep There's nothing you must carry now, no further you need go

  Chorus

  Nancy, the fire is turning gentle, turning low Nobody's as loved as you, however far you'd roam There's no place chancy waiting, only this soft glow Nancy, close your eyes now, you are always home

  Verse 2

  The flue holds all its whispers like a story told in grey Each little glow that lifts and falls is resting, just like you You need not chase the sparks tonight, they'll still be there by day There's nothing you must finish, nothing left to do

  Pre-chorus

  The embers settle lower as the room breathes soft and slow Every small sound folds away to let the hush grow deep There's nothing you must carry now, no further you need go

  Chorus

  Nancy, the fire is turning gentle, turning low Nobody's as loved as you, however far you'd roam There's no place chancy waiting, only this soft glow Nancy, close your eyes now, you are always home

  Bridge

  Sleep is just the softest kind of dancey, drifting turn No need to hold on tight to anything but rest You are held as gently as the last of embers burn Long after every spark has gone, you're loved the best

  Chorus

  Nancy, the fire is turning gentle, turning low Nobody's as loved as you, however far you'd roam There's no place chancy waiting, only this soft glow Nancy, close your eyes now, you are always home

  Outro

  The soot lies still behind the guard, its climbing all done Sleep now, Nancy, safe and warm till morning's soft begun

  Verse 1

  Bubbles are popping soft on the warm porcelain rim Water is humming low as it slips toward the drain You watch it all from cosy arms, so calm and slow Nothing tonight can touch you, little one so dim

  Pre-chorus

  Steam on the window fades as the evening settles deep Quiet is folding round us like a blanket thick and slow Close your eyes now, love, and drift on down to sleep

  Chorus

  Nancy, the night has come to hold you soft and near Sleep now, my Nancy, there is nothing left to fear Every small sound has gone to rest inside the wall Nancy, I'm here beside you, always here

  Verse 2

  Drips fall gentle like a clock too tired to keep the time Warmth still clings to your small hands like sunlight on a stone Breathe out slow now, let the day go loose and let it climb You are the softest thing this whole house has ever known

  Chorus

  Nancy, the night has come to hold you soft and near Sleep now, my Nancy, there is nothing left to fear Every small sound has gone to rest inside the wall Nancy, I'm here beside you, always here

  Bridge

  Nothing in the dark can reach you where you lie Every hush tonight was made to keep you safe and warm

  Chorus

  Nancy, the night has come to hold you soft and near Sleep now, my Nancy, there is nothing left to fear Every small sound has gone to rest inside the wall Nancy, I'm here beside you, always here

  Outro

  Somewhere the last small bubble sighs and settles into rest Sleep now, my Nancy, held here safe against my chest

  Verse 1

  Rain is tapping soft rhythms on the glass beside your head Wipers sweep the whole world into a slow and gentle blur Amber light is glowing warm across your sleepy little face You are safe here in the quiet, wrapped in every mile we blur

  Pre-chorus

  Wet leather holds the warmth of everywhere we've been today Every light we pass is dimming as your eyes grow heavy too Hush now, let the hum of travelling carry you away

  Chorus

  Nancy, close your eyes and drift where the amber shadows play Nothing in this whole wide night could ever lead you wrong Nancy, you're the warmest thing inside this rainy grey Sleep is just a quiet road and you've been safe along

  Verse 2

  Streetlights blur to golden ribbons streaming past the window pane Every drop that hits the glass is falling soft as breath Somewhere out beyond the wipers, home is waiting, calm and near You don't have to keep your eyes open for the rest

  Pre-chorus

  Wet leather holds the warmth of everywhere we've been today Every light we pass is dimming as your eyes grow heavy too Hush now, let the hum of travelling carry you away

  Chorus

  Nancy, close your eyes and drift where the amber shadows play Nothing in this whole wide night could ever lead you wrong Nancy, you're the warmest thing inside this rainy grey Sleep is just a quiet road and you've been safe along

  Bridge

  Let the engine hum become the softest sound you've ever known Nothing waits out there tonight but morning, calm and slow

  Chorus

  Nancy, close your eyes and drift where the amber shadows play Nothing in this whole wide night could ever lead you wrong Nancy, you're the warmest thing inside this rainy grey Sleep is just a quiet road and you've been safe along

  Outro

  Rain still taps its quiet rhythm long after you have gone to sleep And the amber light keeps watching, soft and steady, yours to keep
