  Verse 1

  There's a key on a hook by the telephone, quiet and still tonight Nobody needs to use it now, everything's locked up tight The house breathes slow around you, soft in the lamplight glow And you are the safest thing that this house will ever know

  Pre-chorus

  Every door is closed now, every little sound has settled down Nothing can reach you here, wrapped up warm beneath the crown Of a ceiling full of shadows turning gentle, turning slow

  Chorus

  Rayan, Rayan, the whole house is holding you tonight Nothing stirs beyond your window but the soft and fading light Sleep is calling gently now, and you don't need to fight Rayan, hush now Rayan, you were always held just right

  Verse 2

  That small key never wanders, it just waits there on its hook Steady as the bedtime story kept inside your favourite book You don't need to worry over locks or latches, dark or deep Because you're loved enough to simply close your eyes and sleep

  Chorus

  Rayan, Rayan, the whole house is holding you tonight Nothing stirs beyond your window but the soft and fading light Sleep is calling gently now, and you don't need to fight Rayan, hush now Rayan, you were always held just right

  Bridge

  Somewhere a clock ticks soft and low, keeping time with your breath Nothing in this quiet house could ever wish you harm or hurt You are the warmest kind of certain, safer than a locked front door

  Chorus

  Rayan, Rayan, the whole house is holding you tonight Nothing stirs beyond your window but the soft and fading light Sleep is calling gently now, and you don't need to fight Rayan, hush now Rayan, you were always held just right

  Outro

  The key stays on its hook till morning, patient by the door Sleep now, you are kept and wanted, always, ever more

  Verse 1

  There's a small warm glow still breathing on the sideboard by your bed Soft as a heartbeat, orange as the last of daylight said It hums so quietly, just a whisper wrapped in cloth Watching over you, Rayan, till the whole wide dark has fled

  Pre-chorus

  Your eyes are growing heavy now, the day has had its say Let every worry fold itself and drift so far away Close your eyes, my darling, there is nowhere else to stay

  Chorus

  Rayan, Rayan, sleep is calling soft and low Somewhere warm and gentle, that's the only place to go Every breath you're taking says you're safe here, close and slow Rest now, Rayan, let the quiet hold you so

  Verse 2

  The little light keeps glowing while the whole house settles down Nothing sharp or hurried, nothing wearing any frown Just the gentle pulsing like a small and steady friend Watching you sleep softly as the evening turns around

  Bridge

  Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to try Let the hours go quiet, let the night breathe by

  Chorus

  Rayan, Rayan, sleep is calling soft and low Somewhere warm and gentle, that's the only place to go Every breath you're taking says you're safe here, close and slow Rest now, Rayan, let the quiet hold you so

  Outro

  The small light glows on gently while you drift so far from harm Sleep now, little Rayan, wrapped in all this quiet warmth

  Verse 1

  The little red light glows soft in the back seat a small steady star while the night rolls on by and you are so warm with your breathing so sweet safe under my arm as the streetlights slide by

  Pre-chorus

  Close now your eyes, let the humming machine sing let go of the day, let your shoulders sink deep I'm holding you close while the dark wraps around us

  Chorus

  Rayan, my Rayan, the night belongs to you hush now, my darling, there's nothing left to fear Rayan, my Rayan, I'll carry you on through every road leads home while I am sitting here

  Verse 2

  The velvet is dark but your hand finds mine anyway curled up so small in the corner of the seat and every small sound that you make on your way tells me you're dreaming, and dreaming is sweet

  Chorus

  Rayan, my Rayan, the night belongs to you hush now, my darling, there's nothing left to fear Rayan, my Rayan, I'll carry you on through every road leads home while I am sitting here

  Bridge

  No need to be sayin' a word, love, just rest the whole world can wait while you're playin' with sleep I'll watch over you like the calmest of skies and hold every dream that is yours now to keep

  Chorus

  Rayan, my Rayan, the night belongs to you hush now, my darling, there's nothing left to fear Rayan, my Rayan, I'll carry you on through every road leads home while I am sitting here

  Outro

  The little red light will keep watch while you sleep and I will be here when the morning comes creeping
