  Verse 1

  The garden holds its breath beneath a cold and slender moon Dew sits trembling soft on every quiet leaf You are curled up warm while all the night grows still around you Sleep is coming gentle, and it won't be brief

  Chorus

  Omar, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind and slow Nothing here can touch you, near or far Rest inside the hush that only love like this can grow You are safe as any drop of dew, my Omar

  Verse 2

  The leaves outside are folding, holding still beneath the sky Every drop upon them shines a little jar of light You are held much closer than the moon is to the garden Wrapped up safe and certain through the whole long night

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the wind go by without a single sound Let your small breath slow to match the turning of the stars Sleep is only love, keeping watch till morning comes around

  Chorus

  Omar, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind and slow Nothing here can touch you, near or far Rest inside the hush that only love like this can grow You are safe as any drop of dew, my Omar

  Bridge

  No need to travel further than this quiet room tonight Everything you need is already this near

  Chorus

  Omar, close your eyes now, let the dark be kind and slow Nothing here can touch you, near or far Rest inside the hush that only love like this can grow You are safe as any drop of dew, my Omar

  Outro

  The moon will still be watching when the morning finds the leaves And you will wake up loved, however softly sleep still clings

  Verse 1

  Soot slides slow down the brick, so soft and unhurried Falling like sleep on a mind that's grown weary and worried Warmth still leans in the wall long after flame has died Safe in that glow is where you'll rest tonight, close by my side

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the sparks have gone quiet and small Nothing can reach you inside this warm wall Close up your eyes while the embers turn grey

  Chorus

  Omar, the night wraps around you so gentle and slow Deep in the hush where the last of the warm colours glow You are the reason this house holds its breath until dawn Omar, sleep easy, the dark is just warmth carried on

  Verse 2

  A jar of grey ash sits cooling upon the hearth stone Holding the shape of a fire that once burned alone You hold my heart in that same quiet, steady way Warm long after the bright part has drifted away

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the sparks have gone quiet and small Nothing can reach you inside this warm wall Close up your eyes while the embers turn grey

  Chorus

  Omar, the night wraps around you so gentle and slow Deep in the hush where the last of the warm colours glow You are the reason this house holds its breath until dawn Omar, sleep easy, the dark is just warmth carried on

  Bridge

  No sound but the settling hush of the coals Nothing to carry but rest through the small hours You are so loved that the whole house stays still for you

  Chorus

  Omar, the night wraps around you so gentle and slow Deep in the hush where the last of the warm colours glow You are the reason this house holds its breath until dawn Omar, sleep easy, the dark is just warmth carried on

  Outro

  Somewhere the soot still slides soft down the red brick wall And you sleep on, held warm and unhurried through it all

  Verse 1

  A yellow beam is sweeping slowly over the foam tonight It touches every wave before it folds and fades from view There is nowhere calmer for you to rest than here So let the gentle water carry all its hush to you

  Chorus

  Omar, the night is holding you like something precious and rare Close your eyes now, let the dark be soft as any star You never have to wonder if somebody's near or far Sleep, little Omar, you are loved wherever you are

  Verse 2

  The light moves slow across the water, never in a rush It knows that you are settling deeper into hush Nothing in this quiet night could ever pull you far You are the warmest corner of this whole and turning star

  Pre-chorus

  Breathe slow now, let your small hands finally uncurl Every wave that breaks tonight is breaking soft for you The dark is only night, and night was always kind

  Chorus

  Omar, the night is holding you like something precious and rare Close your eyes now, let the dark be soft as any star You never have to wonder if somebody's near or far Sleep, little Omar, you are loved wherever you are

  Bridge

  Somewhere the tide is turning, slow and sure and true And every turning tide tonight is turning back to you

  Chorus

  Omar, the night is holding you like something precious and rare Close your eyes now, let the dark be soft as any star You never have to wonder if somebody's near or far Sleep, little Omar, you are loved wherever you are

  Outro

  The beam still sweeps so slowly over the foam tonight Sleep now, you are held here, safe and warm and right
