  Verse 1

  Bare feet find the cool of the floor beneath you now Somewhere a brass handle holds its own small drop of rain Softly the last light goes quiet, bowing to your slow breath Nothing in this house is waiting, nothing brings you pain

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the hallway dim and settle round your feet Every little sound tonight is folding into one Close your eyes before the count of ten is through

  Chorus

  Niall, the whole wide house is holding still for you Sleep is a mile of soft dark road we'll travel down together Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to chase or chew Niall, you are the warmest thing in any kind of weather

  Verse 2

  Somewhere behind you cools a handle you no longer need to hold You've crossed the floor already, you are safe here in my arm Every step tonight has led you closer to the fold Nothing out there in the dark tonight can bring you harm

  Chorus

  Niall, the whole wide house is holding still for you Sleep is a mile of soft dark road we'll travel down together Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to chase or chew Niall, you are the warmest thing in any kind of weather

  Bridge

  Rest your small head, let the night turn over slow and kind Nobody needs you to be anything but sleepy now

  Chorus

  Niall, the whole wide house is holding still for you Sleep is a mile of soft dark road we'll travel down together Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to chase or chew Niall, you are the warmest thing in any kind of weather

  Outro

  Somewhere that handle has gone still and dry and done its dripping Sleep now, love, the whole house breathes in time with your soft breathing

  Verse 1

  A narrow line of yellow settles soft across the floor Drifting gently over patterns that you know so well It slips in past the hinge that swings so quiet on the door Watching over you tonight, and all is calm to tell

  Pre-chorus

  The hush is spreading slowly over every little sound Your breathing finds its rhythm as the evening settles down And something warm is waiting just to wrap you safe around

  Chorus

  Niall, the dark won't ever hold you, love is standing by Rest your head and let the quiet carry you a while Every worry drifts away and softens like a sigh Niall, close your eyes and dream a slow and gentle mile

  Verse 2

  The carpet holds the shapes of all your footsteps from the day And now they rest beneath you like a story tucked away You don't need to hold on tightly, let the hours ease and sway There's nothing you should carry now until the morning ray

  Bridge

  Somewhere past the hinge and past the hush of falling night You are held as gently as that thin and golden light

  Chorus

  Niall, the dark won't ever hold you, love is standing by Rest your head and let the quiet carry you a while Every worry drifts away and softens like a sigh Niall, close your eyes and dream a slow and gentle mile

  Outro

  The light will still be waiting soft and low along the floor And you'll be safe and sleeping long before it fades once more

  Verse 1

  A small warm light is glowing soft beside your blue cotton bed Its plastic case has gathered all the warmth your breathing spread Nothing in this room can reach you now, nothing dark or wild Close your eyes, my quiet one, my Niall, my gentle child

  Pre-chorus

  Every thread upon your blanket holds a little of the glow Your small chest rises soft and slow, easy as the tide is slow So let the hush wrap round you now, and let the night unfold

  Chorus

  Niall, the light is holding steady, warm against the tide of dark Sleep is closer than a mile, closer than a whispered spark Nothing here will wake you, nothing sharp or loud or wide Niall, you are the warmest thing this quiet house will hide

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the window, everything has gone to rest and still Only this small glow keeps watch, patient on the sill You don't have to hold on to anything tonight at all Just let the small light guide you gently, soft and small

  Chorus

  Niall, the light is holding steady, warm against the tide of dark Sleep is closer than a mile, closer than a whispered spark Nothing here will wake you, nothing sharp or loud or wide Niall, you are the warmest thing this quiet house will hide

  Bridge

  Hush now, let the colours dim to blue and soften into grey Nothing that you carry has to leave with you at day

  Chorus

  Niall, the light is holding steady, warm against the tide of dark Sleep is closer than a mile, closer than a whispered spark Nothing here will wake you, nothing sharp or loud or wide Niall, you are the warmest thing this quiet house will hide

  Outro

  Sleep now, small one, let the little light keep watching over you Warm against the blue, my Niall, the whole night through
