  Verse 1

  A long silver beam is sweeping slowly across your wall It slips through the salt crusted glass so soft and small Nothing out there can ever find its way in You're held here so gently, you'll never fall

  Chorus

  Roman, the night is only holding you close Sleep finds you first and loves you the most Every quiet hour is yours alone Roman, you're the safest you have ever known

  Verse 2

  The beam moves on and leaves a hush of silver behind It paints your ceiling calm, it eases your mind Nothing tonight will ever ask you to wake You are the warmest thing this house will ever find

  Pre-chorus

  The glass is dark but nothing dark comes through it Your breathing slows, the whole room seems to know it And every corner leans in soft to keep you

  Chorus

  Roman, the night is only holding you close Sleep finds you first and loves you the most Every quiet hour is yours alone Roman, you're the safest you have ever known

  Bridge

  Rest your small hand open, let the dark be kind No need to carry morning yet, just leave it behind You are loved so wide it fills this whole small room

  Chorus

  Roman, the night is only holding you close Sleep finds you first and loves you the most Every quiet hour is yours alone Roman, you're the safest you have ever known

  Outro

  The silver beam has settled soft and still upon your wall Sleep now, Roman, you are held here through it all

  Verse 1

  The candle leans and lets its gold run slow tonight Down the old oak stand in one long ribbon of light This room forgets the day the moment you close your eyes And every worry folds itself away and quietly dies

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the wick burn low and easy Nothing in this house will ever leave you Sleep is only love with the lights turned down

  Chorus

  Roman, the warmth is yours, it pools here just for you Nobody in the world is held the way you're held right now You are the reason this small flame was ever lit and grown Roman, you are so loved, you are never, ever alone

  Verse 2

  The wax curls soft around the wick and settles into rest Nothing sharp can reach you here, you're tucked beneath the best Of every quiet thing this house has ever kept and known Sleep and know this warmth was always, always meant to be your own

  Chorus

  Roman, the warmth is yours, it pools here just for you Nobody in the world is held the way you're held right now You are the reason this small flame was ever lit and grown Roman, you are so loved, you are never, ever alone

  Bridge

  Somewhere a string is humming low beneath the dark Steady as a heartbeat, gentle as that spark No need to hold your eyes open one more minute

  Chorus

  Roman, the warmth is yours, it pools here just for you Nobody in the world is held the way you're held right now You are the reason this small flame was ever lit and grown Roman, you are so loved, you are never, ever alone

  Outro

  The candle dims to gold and then to nothing much at all And still that warmth stays wrapped around you like a shawl

  Verse 1

  Far off a train hums low and slow across the dark and somewhere steel wheels cross an iron bridge alone a small click echoes soft then fades without a mark but here inside these walls your breathing makes a home

  Pre-chorus

  Let every distant sound grow quiet as it nears you the whole wide night is folding gently round this bed and nothing far away has any claim to steer you

  Chorus

  Roman, hush now, let the dark be kind and known you are held so close you never walk alone sleep is just a quiet river drifting to be shown and you are safe here, Roman, warm as any stone

  Verse 2

  The bridge will hum its iron song to no one near and the train will carry on to somewhere far and grown but you are not that traveller, you have nothing here to fear you are the one thing steady while the whole world's thrown

  Bridge

  Rest your small hand where the heartbeat keeps its time let the far click fade until it's only mine

  Chorus

  Roman, hush now, let the dark be kind and known you are held so close you never walk alone sleep is just a quiet river drifting to be shown and you are safe here, Roman, warm as any stone

  Outro

  The train moves on and leaves its echo on the air but you are here with me, and that is all my care
