Verse 1
The white cotton lifts against the cold glass pane so slowly Outside the dark is quiet, and the stars have banked their fire Nothing in the world tonight is asking you for anything There is only this soft room and the hush that you require
Pre-chorus
Close your eyes and let the day go drifting out behind you Every worry folds up small and settles somewhere far away Sleep is coming closer now, warm as breath upon your cheek
Chorus
Nora, Nora, the night is holding you so gently Nothing here can touch you while you rest inside this glow You are loved beyond the counting, safe as anything can be Nora, close your eyes now, let the quiet be all you know
Verse 2
The linen breathes so softly, like the room itself is sleeping Somewhere past the window frost is drawing patterns on the pane Nobody could love you more than every heart that's watching over you And nothing in this house tonight will ever cause you pain
Chorus
Nora, Nora, the night is holding you so gently Nothing here can touch you while you rest inside this glow You are loved beyond the counting, safe as anything can be Nora, close your eyes now, let the quiet be all you know
Bridge
Hush now, let the humming carry all your thoughts to quiet You are held here, you are wanted, you are never on your own
Chorus
Nora, Nora, the night is holding you so gently Nothing here can touch you while you rest inside this glow You are loved beyond the counting, safe as anything can be Nora, close your eyes now, let the quiet be all you know
Outro
The white cotton settles softly as the whole house drifts to slumber Sleep now, little Nora, you are cradled safe till morning
Soft as the Floor Beneath Us

Verse 1
Lamplight is dimming low across the old wool rug Somewhere the wood floor gives one small and sleepy shrug You are the warmest thing this tired house can hold Nothing tonight could ever make me want to tug you close
Chorus
Nora, the dark is only resting, not unkind Close both your eyes and leave the whole wide world behind Dora could never shine the way you shine for me You are the one my heart keeps choosing to adore
Verse 2
Every creak we hear is just the house breathing slow Wrapped in the quiet, you're the safest thing I know Nothing outside these walls can reach you while you rest Sleep is a boat and you're the calm it's floating on
Pre-chorus
Hush now, the lamp is folding into amber and gold Nothing tonight will ask you to be brave or bold Just let the hush pull you where the soft dreams are waiting
Chorus
Nora, the dark is only resting, not unkind Close both your eyes and leave the whole wide world behind Dora could never shine the way you shine for me You are the one my heart keeps choosing to adore
Bridge
No one could love this small warm weight the way I do Every hush I hum was only ever meant for you
Chorus
Nora, the dark is only resting, not unkind Close both your eyes and leave the whole wide world behind Dora could never shine the way you shine for me You are the one my heart keeps choosing to adore
Outro
Somewhere the old floor settles into one last quiet creak Sleep now, my Nora, you are held till morning breaks
The Sound Behind the Wall
Glockenspiel · Twinkling · SimpleA slow, glockenspiel-soft lullaby for settling Nora to sleep, built around the faint tick of a clock through a wall and the steady watching of someone who loves her.

Verse 1
Somewhere behind the wall a small brass hand is turning quietly keeping time so you don't have to try and I am here beside you while the house is learning how to hush itself down slow beneath the sky
Pre-chorus
The tick is soft and steady like a heartbeat lent to you and every little sound tonight is only kindness passing through so let your shoulders drop, there's nothing left to do
Chorus
Nora, the whole house holds its breath for you the walls are thin but the love here runs deep Nora, I would follow you wherever you go to just close your eyes now, it's time to sleep
Verse 2
The clock behind the plaster doesn't know your name yet but I do, and I am saying it soft and low you are the reason every worry gets to be forgotten you are the warmest thing this quiet room will know
Chorus
Nora, the whole house holds its breath for you the walls are thin but the love here runs deep Nora, I would follow you wherever you go to just close your eyes now, it's time to sleep
Bridge
Nothing in the dark tonight can find you not with all this steady ticking near everything that loves you stays behind you closer than the wall, and always here
Chorus
Nora, the whole house holds its breath for you the walls are thin but the love here runs deep Nora, I would follow you wherever you go to just close your eyes now, it's time to sleep
Outro
Somewhere the small brass hand keeps turning slowly and I will still be here when morning comes for you
