  Verse 1

  Heavy drops are sliding slow along the misted pane tonight and the little clouds of warmth are gathering soft in candlelight every trembling drop outside is answered by your breath so near nothing in this quiet room could ever bring you fear

  Pre-chorus

  The glass is growing cloudy where the warm meets cold outside but you are wrapped in blankets where the soft and safe reside so let your eyes grow heavy as the hush begins to rise

  Chorus

  Phyllis, the rain is only singing you to rest hush now, you are held here, you are always blessed nothing but the night air and the window's gentle haze Phyllis, you are cradled through the quietest of days

  Verse 2

  Watch the fog it gathers where our breathing meets the cold every little circle is a story left untold you are warm and steady while the weather taps so light there is nowhere safer than this room, this bed, tonight

  Bridge

  Let the glass stay misty, let the drops keep falling slow you are held here closer than the warmth could ever show nothing outside matters while you're wrapped up soft like this

  Chorus

  Phyllis, the rain is only singing you to rest hush now, you are held here, you are always blessed nothing but the night air and the window's gentle haze Phyllis, you are cradled through the quietest of days

  Outro

  The glass has clouded over, soft and warm against the chill sleep now, little one, the rain is falling still

  Verse 1

  Two silver lights are drifting past the dark and quiet glass They blink so soft and far away, then gently they are gone Nothing out there in the night has any power over you Sleep is a small warm room and you are safe inside it, Phyllis

  Pre-chorus

  The lights outside are only passing, they were never staying long Your breathing slows to something even, deeper than a sigh Hold on to nothing but the hush that's settling all around you

  Chorus

  Phyllis, close your eyes now, let the whole wide house grow still There's nothing in the dark tonight that means you any harm Sleep will carry you so gently over every little hill Phyllis, you are held here, safe and steady in my arm

  Verse 2

  The glass is cool and quiet, holding back the wind outside While you are warm beneath the blanket, breathing slow and deep Every light that passes by is winking you goodnight And leaves you to the softness of a long and easy sleep

  Chorus

  Phyllis, close your eyes now, let the whole wide house grow still There's nothing in the dark tonight that means you any harm Sleep will carry you so gently over every little hill Phyllis, you are held here, safe and steady in my arm

  Bridge

  Rest now, let the night be nothing but a gentle friend Nobody could love you more than you are loved this minute

  Chorus

  Phyllis, close your eyes now, let the whole wide house grow still There's nothing in the dark tonight that means you any harm Sleep will carry you so gently over every little hill Phyllis, you are held here, safe and steady in my arm

  Outro

  The little lights have faded now, the window's dark and still You are already drifting where no worry ever will

  A soft, slow lullaby for winding down the night, built around a small bird settling outside the window as the whole house grows quiet.

  Verse 1

  Grey feathers brush against the frost along the edge of the guttering Something small has found its shelter from the cold night air And under all these blankets you are warmer than that trellis Nothing in the dark tonight can touch you anywhere

  Pre-chorus

  The window holds the moonlight but it cannot hold you tight So let these arms around you be the softest kind of walls And let your breathing slow right down to match the hush of night

  Chorus

  Phyllis, close your eyes now, let the whole wide world go still There is nowhere safer than this bed upon the hill You are held here gently, like water in a chalice Sleep now, little Phyllis, nothing here can hurt you still

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the rooftops there's a wind that's turning colder But it never reaches past the corner where you lie And every little breath you take is making you grow bolder Safe beneath this quiet, safe beneath this sky

  Pre-chorus

  The window holds the moonlight but it cannot hold you tight So let these arms around you be the softest kind of walls And let your breathing slow right down to match the hush of night

  Chorus

  Phyllis, close your eyes now, let the whole wide world go still There is nowhere safer than this bed upon the hill You are held here gently, like water in a chalice Sleep now, little Phyllis, nothing here can hurt you still

  Bridge

  No harm will find you while the house breathes slow around you You are loved beyond the reach of any storm or chill

  Chorus

  Phyllis, close your eyes now, let the whole wide world go still There is nowhere safer than this bed upon the hill You are held here gently, like water in a chalice Sleep now, little Phyllis, nothing here can hurt you still

  Outro

  The feathers settle softly where the frost meets the guttering Sleep now, you are certain, you are cherished, you are safe
