  Verse 1

  Watch the last grey ash go settling down so slow held behind the iron guard where nothing sharp can reach Every ember dims to soft the way your breathing goes and the whole room learns to hush the way you teach

  Pre-chorus

  Nothing here will spark or stir before the morning comes only warmth that's turning quiet, only shadows kind and slow so let your eyes grow heavy now, there's nowhere left to go

  Chorus

  Primrose, the fire is folding into rest tonight and you are held the safest thing that any house can hold Sleep now the way the embers sleep, without a fight Primrose, you're the warmth that never turns to cold

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the grate the whole wide dark is turning soft curling round the edges of this small and steady room You are not afraid of it, you never were, not once because you know this quiet is where you're always safe to bloom

  Chorus

  Primrose, the fire is folding into rest tonight and you are held the safest thing that any house can hold Sleep now the way the embers sleep, without a fight Primrose, you're the warmth that never turns to cold

  Bridge

  Rest is not an ending, only breath that's slowing down and you are loved as steady as the last log settling low

  Chorus

  Primrose, the fire is folding into rest tonight and you are held the safest thing that any house can hold Sleep now the way the embers sleep, without a fight Primrose, you're the warmth that never turns to cold

  Outro

  The ash lies quiet now behind its iron guard and you lie just as quiet, just as loved, just as far

  Verse 1

  Orange light is sliding gently over where you rest your head Every lamp we pass is leaving softly as it came and went You are held so close and steady while the whole world softly flows Nothing out there matters more than you asleep instead

  Chorus

  Primrose, close your eyes now, let the night keep watch a while Somewhere warm is waiting just behind that sleepy smile You are carried safely through the dark however far it goes Rest now, little Primrose, morning waits in a while

  Verse 2

  Windows hum a quiet tune that only you can hear tonight Shadows move so slowly they forget to make a sound You are wrapped in something soft that never loosens or unwinds Safe as anything that ever settled on the ground

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, the lights outside are dimming one by one Nothing needs an answer, nothing needs to be undone Sleep is coming closer, soft as breathing, soft as home

  Chorus

  Primrose, close your eyes now, let the night keep watch a while Somewhere warm is waiting just behind that sleepy smile You are carried safely through the dark however far it goes Rest now, little Primrose, morning waits in a while

  Bridge

  Every light that passes leaves a little gold behind You are loved beyond whatever words could ever find

  Chorus

  Primrose, close your eyes now, let the night keep watch a while Somewhere warm is waiting just behind that sleepy smile You are carried safely through the dark however far it goes Rest now, little Primrose, morning waits in a while

  Outro

  The last light slides across the glass and settles into gold You are safe inside this quiet, held and warm and whole

  Verse 1

  Wheels have gone still beneath the dripping pine tonight rain on the needles has slowed to something light you are held so gently, wrapped and warm and small nothing out there matters, you can let it fall

  Pre-chorus

  Close those eyes now, let the hush come creeping in hear how soft the dark is, how it holds no din stay right here, my darling, where the calm begins

  Chorus

  Primrose, sleep is calling soft as it can be under branches heavy, safe as safe can be Primrose, drift off gently, let the night unfold you are always cherished, always kept from cold

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past the branches the whole world slows its pace every worry folds away and leaves an empty space you don't need to listen, you don't need to see just the sound of breathing, just you close to me

  Bridge

  Even wheels that carried you have found their rest tucked beneath the wet pine, you are held, you're blessed

  Chorus

  Primrose, sleep is calling soft as it can be under branches heavy, safe as safe can be Primrose, drift off gently, let the night unfold you are always cherished, always kept from cold

  Outro

  Rest now where the pine still drips its gentle rain you are safe forever, you are loved again
