  Verse 1

  Heavy linen settles soft against the wall beside your bed the old valve ticks its small warm song into the dark and nothing in this room would ever let you down you are held here safer than the words that could be said

  Pre-chorus

  The house breathes slow around you, easy in its rest every corner of this night was chosen just for you so let your eyes grow heavy, there is nowhere else to be

  Chorus

  Nathaniel, sleep is calling soft and low tonight hush now, little one, and drift beyond the light nobody could love you gentler than we do Nathaniel, you are held, and everything's alright

  Verse 2

  The radiator hums a note too low for you to name warmth is climbing quiet through the fabric by your cheek and every breath you take is answered by the still this whole room was built around your gentle, sleepy frame

  Bridge

  Rest now, let the day dissolve behind you like a sigh nothing here will wake before you're ready to arrive

  Chorus

  Nathaniel, sleep is calling soft and low tonight hush now, little one, and drift beyond the light nobody could love you gentler than we do Nathaniel, you are held, and everything's alright

  Outro

  The linen settles once more, warm against the wall sleep well, you are safe here, held through it all

  Verse 1

  Yellow light is leaking soft through threads of red wool tonight Falling slow across the pillow where your tired head will rest Every colour in this room is here to hold you right You are safe inside the hush, you are the whole room blessed

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the lamp keep watch instead of you Nothing in the dark tonight will come to call your name Just the quiet, just the warmth, just this light we're leaning into

  Chorus

  Nathaniel, the night is wrapped around you like a blanket Soft and slow, the way the lamplight falls through gentle red You are held, you are the calm this whole house has been thanking Nathaniel, sleep is coming gently, nothing to be said

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window, all the stars are keeping still for you Nothing needs to hurry now, no reason left to wake The feathers in your pillow move so slowly, breathing too Every soft thing in this room was gathered for your sake

  Bridge

  Rest your head, the light will stay however long you need Nothing here will leave before your breathing turns to sleep

  Chorus

  Nathaniel, the night is wrapped around you like a blanket Soft and slow, the way the lamplight falls through gentle red You are held, you are the calm this whole house has been thanking Nathaniel, sleep is coming gently, nothing to be said

  Outro

  Sleep now, while the yellow light still hums along the wool Rest inside the warmth we saved for you, so calm, so full

  Verse 1

  The grey wool stretches soft and tight across my knees tonight Under cotton denim worn so gentle, worn so kind And you are curled here where the lamplight settles low and right Nothing in this whole wide room but you upon my mind

  Chorus

  Nathaniel, the night is holding still for you Sleep is drifting soft as any cloud can be Close your eyes, Nathaniel, let the dark be kind and true There is nowhere you are safer than with me

  Verse 2

  Your breathing slows to match the quiet turning of the clock Every worry of the day has folded down to rest I will keep this warm and steady, I will never stop Holding you the way that matters, holding you the best

  Pre-chorus

  The wool is warm, your small hand curls against the weave Hush now, let the evening carry you away Close your eyes and let this moment gently start to leave

  Chorus

  Nathaniel, the night is holding still for you Sleep is drifting soft as any cloud can be Close your eyes, Nathaniel, let the dark be kind and true There is nowhere you are safer than with me

  Bridge

  Long as stars keep watch above this quiet little room You are wrapped in something softer than the dark

  Chorus

  Nathaniel, the night is holding still for you Sleep is drifting soft as any cloud can be Close your eyes, Nathaniel, let the dark be kind and true There is nowhere you are safer than with me

  Outro

  The grey wool settles quiet now across these tired knees Sleep well, Nathaniel, held in warmth and gentle ease
