  Verse 1

  The blades above you turn so slowly through the dim and quiet air Painting soft grey ribbons drifting over pillows and your hair Nothing here will hurry, nothing here will ever rush And you are held here gently in the hush

  Pre-chorus

  Every shadow passing over knows to move so soft and slow Watching how the warm light settles, watching how you glow So let your breathing follow, let it settle deep and low

  Chorus

  Nansi, close your eyes now, let the turning world go still Nothing chancy waits to find you, nothing ever will Sleep is just a soft room where the quiet loves to stay Nansi, drift away

  Verse 2

  The wallpaper is holding all the colours of the dusk Folding into shadows like a slow and gentle husk Somewhere past the ceiling stars are turning just the same And you are safe beneath them, always safe within this frame

  Bridge

  Every circle that the darkness makes above your head Is only night deciding you are safe here in this bed

  Chorus

  Nansi, close your eyes now, let the turning world go still Nothing chancy waits to find you, nothing ever will Sleep is just a soft room where the quiet loves to stay Nansi, drift away

  Outro

  The blades keep turning softly long after you have gone to sleep And love keeps turning with them, quiet, steady, yours to keep

  Verse 1

  Look how gently the snow comes falling past the pane Golden light is catching every drifting flake tonight Nothing out there can ever touch you where you lay Sleep is coming soft and slow, so hold it tight

  Pre-chorus

  Every flake is settling down without a sound Warmth is folding all around this quiet room Close your eyes, my love, and let the hush surround

  Chorus

  Nansi, Nansi, the night is yours to keep Nothing in the dark will ever ask for more Dream a little dance through fields of falling sleep Nansi, you are safe behind this quiet door

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the glass the lamp is burning low and slow Snowflakes turn and settle where the streetlight glows You are wrapped in warmth while all that white winds blow Nothing in this world could ever touch what you know

  Pre-chorus

  Every flake is settling down without a sound Warmth is folding all around this quiet room Close your eyes, my love, and let the hush surround

  Chorus

  Nansi, Nansi, the night is yours to keep Nothing in the dark will ever ask for more Dream a little dance through fields of falling sleep Nansi, you are safe behind this quiet door

  Bridge

  Rest now, let the falling snow become your lullaby Sleep is just a soft and slow goodnight

  Chorus

  Nansi, Nansi, the night is yours to keep Nothing in the dark will ever ask for more Dream a little dance through fields of falling sleep Nansi, you are safe behind this quiet door

  Outro

  Somewhere still the lamp is glowing soft on falling snow You are held and warm and safe, so sleep on, love, sleep slow

  Verse 1

  The wheels have gone quiet beneath the old oak trees And the whole wide world has settled into ease Leaves are drifting down soft as any sigh You are held so gently under this grey sky

  Chorus

  Nansi, Nansi, close your eyes and rest There is nowhere in this world you're loved best more than here Nansi, Nansi, let the night be kind Sleep is only love, wrapped up and warm and mine

  Verse 2

  Somewhere the branches are holding onto autumn light And every falling leaf is tucking in the night Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to rush You are safe as the quiet, safe as the hush

  Pre-chorus

  Hear how slow the evening breathes around us now Feel how the dark bends gentle, soft and slow Sleep is coming closer, calling you along

  Chorus

  Nansi, Nansi, close your eyes and rest There is nowhere in this world you're loved best more than here Nansi, Nansi, let the night be kind Sleep is only love, wrapped up and warm and mine

  Bridge

  Whatever the day was, it can rest now too Nothing in this whole wide world matters more than you Let go of the light, let the dark be soft and slow

  Chorus

  Nansi, Nansi, close your eyes and rest There is nowhere in this world you're loved best more than here Nansi, Nansi, let the night be kind Sleep is only love, wrapped up and warm and mine

  Outro

  The leaves will still be waiting when the morning comes Sleep now, little one, beneath the old oak's arms
