Verse 1
Heavy leaves are leaning close to keep the porch light out Green shadows settle softly on the hood above your head Nothing in this garden knows a single thing about doubt The whole night bends down gently just to watch you fed and led
Pre-chorus
Somewhere past the hedges the wind is turning slow Every breath you're taking says it's safe to let this go Close your eyes a little more, there's nowhere else to be
Chorus
Neil, the dark is only a blanket pulled up high Nothing here can find you, nothing here will try Neil, I'm right beside you till the stars begin to fade You are held so closely in the quiet that we made
Verse 2
Somewhere a branch is bowing low to shade the wheel from view Every leaf above you keeps its own small watch tonight You don't have to know it, you just have to drift on through The whole world outside has dimmed itself to let you feel alright
Pre-chorus
Somewhere past the hedges the wind is turning slow Every breath you're taking says it's safe to let this go Close your eyes a little more, there's nowhere else to be
Chorus
Neil, the dark is only a blanket pulled up high Nothing here can find you, nothing here will try Neil, I'm right beside you till the stars begin to fade You are held so closely in the quiet that we made
Bridge
No one needs to hurry you, no one needs to wake you Sleep can take its slow time, love will not forsake you
Chorus
Neil, the dark is only a blanket pulled up high Nothing here can find you, nothing here will try Neil, I'm right beside you till the stars begin to fade You are held so closely in the quiet that we made
Outro
The leaves will keep on leaning long after you're asleep Rest now, little one, there's nothing here to keep

Verse 1
Yellow scraps of ticket drift down by the heater's glow The night bus hums so soft, rocking easy, rocking slow Warm air curls around your little sleepy feet You're the softest thing this tired old world will ever know
Chorus
Neil, the dark is only quiet, nothing there to fear Every road tonight is leading somewhere warm and near Close your eyes, let all the humming wheels appeal You are held so close and safe tonight, Neil
Verse 2
The window fogs up gentle with your tiny breath Lights go sliding past like dreams that haven't happened yet Nothing in this whole wide night could ever harm you You're the calm at the end of every road I've met
Pre-chorus
Hush now, let the engine hum be all the sound you need Let the far lights blur to gold as your eyes start to seal Sleep is close, and I am right here while you drift
Chorus
Neil, the dark is only quiet, nothing there to fear Every road tonight is leading somewhere warm and near Close your eyes, let all the humming wheels appeal You are held so close and safe tonight, Neil
Bridge
No ticket left to hold, no stop to reach tonight Just you, so still and certain, wrapped in yellow light
Chorus
Neil, the dark is only quiet, nothing there to fear Every road tonight is leading somewhere warm and near Close your eyes, let all the humming wheels appeal You are held so close and safe tonight, Neil
Outro
The last scrap settles softly on the floor by the heater's warmth So settle too, my Neil, safe within my arms

Verse 1
Somewhere past the window the whole garden bows its head Every leaf grows heavy with the water it can hold You are held the same way, gentle, quiet and unsaid Wrapped up soft against the dark, against the coming cold
Pre-chorus
Nothing in the garden has to hurry or be seen Nothing needs to open till the morning light is here So let your breathing slow to something soft between
Chorus
Neil, the whole night settles just to keep you near Sleep is only love that stayed to watch you close your eyes Neil, there's nothing waiting that you need to fear Rest inside the hush where every worry quietly dies
Verse 2
The tomato vines are bending with the weight the dark has brought Nothing pulls them down but softness, nothing sharp at all You are carried gently too, by hands that ask for nought Held the way the quiet garden holds each thing that falls
Bridge
No one needs you awake to be loved this much Sleep and still be certain that you're safe within this touch
Chorus
Neil, the whole night settles just to keep you near Sleep is only love that stayed to watch you close your eyes Neil, there's nothing waiting that you need to fear Rest inside the hush where every worry quietly dies
Outro
Somewhere the garden glistens softly, holding all it keeps Sleep now, Neil, the whole night's watching gently while you sleep
