  Verse 1

  Soot comes tumbling down the brick, so soft and slow tonight Falling like the day itself has finally lost its light You are curled up warm and safe beneath the blankets deep Nothing in this quiet house will wake you from your sleep

  Pre-chorus

  Ashes settle grey and cold where fire used to climb Every ember held its heat and gave it up in time So let me hold you closer now before you drift and dream

  Chorus

  Natalie, the night has come to wrap you soft and low Hush now Natalie, there's nowhere else you need to go You are the warmest thing that this old house has ever known Natalie, my love for you could light the dark alone

  Verse 2

  Watch how the soot lies quiet now, it has no more to say Everything that burned so bright has gently drained away Still you are burning warm inside, a small and steady flame Sleep now and let the whole wide world forget it has a name

  Chorus

  Natalie, the night has come to wrap you soft and low Hush now Natalie, there's nowhere else you need to go You are the warmest thing that this old house has ever known Natalie, my love for you could light the dark alone

  Bridge

  Cold ash can't remember the fire it used to be But I will always remember you sleeping next to me No ember ever burned as steady or as true

  Chorus

  Natalie, the night has come to wrap you soft and low Hush now Natalie, there's nowhere else you need to go You are the warmest thing that this old house has ever known Natalie, my love for you could light the dark alone

  Outro

  Somewhere soot is settling soft on cold and quiet brick Sleep now, you are held here, warm and safe and sleeping thick

  Verse 1

  Yellow ticket stubs slide on the old green seat While the dark motorway hums you slowly home You are curled up warm with your tired little feet And you're not going anywhere alone

  Pre-chorus

  The lights slip by soft and the engine sings low Everything you need is right here in this car So let your eyes close now, there's nowhere to go

  Chorus

  Natalie, the night is holding you gently Every road tonight leads back to me Rest your head, there's nothing you need to see Sleep now, Natalie, safe as can be

  Verse 2

  The green seat is soft as the hush settles in And the dark outside can't reach you here Your small hand is warm tucked under my chin And there is nothing waiting that you need to fear

  Pre-chorus

  The world goes on quiet past the glass and the seam Everything you need is right here in this car So let your eyes close now and drift into dream

  Chorus

  Natalie, the night is holding you gently Every road tonight leads back to me Rest your head, there's nothing you need to see Sleep now, Natalie, safe as can be

  Bridge

  Somewhere past the windows the stars keep their place Watching over you the whole night through You are held, you are known, in this small quiet space

  Chorus

  Natalie, the night is holding you gently Every road tonight leads back to me Rest your head, there's nothing you need to see Sleep now, Natalie, safe as can be

  Outro

  The ticket stubs rest on the green seat still Sleep on now, love, we're almost home

  Verse 1

  Down the hallway something old is swinging soft and slow Counting out the minutes till the morning light returns Every little tick is telling you it's time to rest Natalie, my darling, this is all the house is for tonight

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the brass keep time for you Nothing hurries here, no reason left to fight the dark Just the gentle swinging pulling you toward sleep

  Chorus

  Natalie, the whole night bends itself around your rest Sleep is safe here, nothing waits to do you harm Every wall is holding warmth here just for you Natalie, you are held here, folded soft and warm

  Verse 2

  Somewhere down the hall the pendulum is dreaming too Swinging through the dark the way your breathing slows Nothing in this house is anything to fear tonight You're the reason all this quiet ever grows

  Bridge

  Let the ticking carry all your worries far away There's nothing waiting past the dark but morning

  Chorus

  Natalie, the whole night bends itself around your rest Sleep is safe here, nothing waits to do you harm Every wall is holding warmth here just for you Natalie, you are held here, folded soft and warm

  Outro

  Somewhere down the hall the brass is swinging slower still Sleep now, Natalie, the whole house waits to keep you warm
