Verse 1

The fire breathes its last small sigh and lets the embers go White ash falls so quiet behind the black iron guard You are wrapped in something warmer than any flame could throw Sleep is close and gentle now, and sleep is not far

Pre-chorus

Hush now, let the small light dim and settle where it lies Every ember bows its head the way your own will soon There is nothing in this room that needs your open eyes

Chorus

Osian, the night is soft and folded round your bed Like a slow and quiet ocean pulling gently at the shore Osian, there is nothing waiting past the words I've said Only rest, and my devotion, only rest and nothing more

Verse 2

The guard stands black and still to keep the last warmth safely in You are held the very same way, closer than you know Outside the dark is wide but nothing dark gets past your skin This whole small room breathes slower now, and settles low

Pre-chorus

Hush now, let the small light dim and settle where it lies Every ember bows its head the way your own will soon There is nothing in this room that needs your open eyes

Chorus

Osian, the night is soft and folded round your bed Like a slow and quiet ocean pulling gently at the shore Osian, there is nothing waiting past the words I've said Only rest, and my devotion, only rest and nothing more

Bridge

Somewhere far a tide moves slow beneath a sky gone grey Somewhere close your breath moves with it, soft and unafraid

Chorus

Osian, the night is soft and folded round your bed Like a slow and quiet ocean pulling gently at the shore Osian, there is nothing waiting past the words I've said Only rest, and my devotion, only rest and nothing more

Outro

The ash lies soft and grey, and the room has gone to rest Sleep now, you are held, you are safe, you are loved best

Verse 1

Wool socks are pressing soft circles into the old wooden floor Every quiet step is carrying you closer to sleep The house holds its breath while the night settles round the door And you are the reason this hour feels so deep

Pre-chorus

The creak in the floorboards keeps time with my slow, steady walk Nothing tonight is asking you to answer or talk Just rest in the hush while the dark wraps around us like chalk

Chorus

Osian, the whole house is humming you gently to rest Nothing out there can follow you into this warm, quiet notion Sleep is a tide and you're riding it calm on my chest Osian, my love moves toward you with such steady devotion

Verse 2

The lamp throws a gold little glow on the wall by your bed Shadows are soft and they mean you no harm as they pass You are the calm at the centre of all that I've said And the whole waking world can wait quietly outside the glass

Bridge

Let your small breaths grow slower, let your fingers unclench Nothing tonight needs you brave, nothing needs you to reach There's no hour that could ever pull you far past my bench Only sleep, only warmth, only this gentle speech

Chorus

Osian, the whole house is humming you gently to rest Nothing out there can follow you into this warm, quiet notion Sleep is a tide and you're riding it calm on my chest Osian, my love moves toward you with such steady devotion

Outro

The floor has gone still now, the socks have stopped their soft sound Sleep well, little one, safe and warm and so deeply found

Verse 1

A yellow moth is drifting by the wooden steps tonight circling round the little bulb that hums a gentle light it never strays too far before it settles near the glass and you are just as steady when I hold you close and tight

Pre-chorus

The dark is only soft tonight, there's nothing here to fear every little sound outside is turning into calm so let your eyes grow heavy now, your favourite hush is here

Chorus

Osian, the night is wrapping softly all around you sleep is a slow tide and I will not let it drown you hush now like the porch light glowing warm above the steps however far you drift, my love will always have found you

Verse 2

The moth don't need to travel far to feel that it is home it circles once, it circles twice, then folds its wings and rests and when the whole wide house goes quiet, breathing slow and low you curl in close the way that moth leans into gentle light

Bridge

Every shadow in this room is only shadow, only kind nothing waits out there tonight but soft and sleepy dark I'll stay right here beside you till your breathing settles slow

Chorus

Osian, the night is wrapping softly all around you sleep is a slow tide and I will not let it drown you hush now like the porch light glowing warm above the steps however far you drift, my love will always have found you

Outro

The little moth has settled now, its wings have gone to rest so let your breathing slow to meet the hush I'm holding here
