  Verse 1

  The lamp throws down a soft and hazy yellow glow tonight and little specks of dust go drifting slowly through the light a small moth circles round and round the warm and gentle bulb while you lie safe and heavy, wrapped in blankets soft and dull

  Pre-chorus

  Watch how the quiet dust just floats and never has to fall hear how the house breathes slow around these old and steady walls and feel how nothing in this room is asking you for more

  Chorus

  Scott, the light is low and every worry finds its floor rest here where the moth keeps turning gently by the door nothing in this house will ever let you come to harm Scott, you are the warmest thing inside this quiet calm

  Verse 2

  The moth will find its circle and it never strays too wide content to stay so near the only light it knows at night and you can learn from how it trusts the glow above your head there's nowhere safer in the world than right here in this bed

  Chorus

  Scott, the light is low and every worry finds its floor rest here where the moth keeps turning gently by the door nothing in this house will ever let you come to harm Scott, you are the warmest thing inside this quiet calm

  Bridge

  Let your breathing slow to match the turning of the moth let the golden dust keep drifting soft as it falls

  Chorus

  Scott, the light is low and every worry finds its floor rest here where the moth keeps turning gently by the door nothing in this house will ever let you come to harm Scott, you are the warmest thing inside this quiet calm

  Outro

  The dust will settle soon and so will you, my dear one sleep now beneath the light where nothing bad has ever come

  Verse 1

  A slow white light goes turning above the narrow cot It brushes the whitewashed wall and finds the quiet spot Nothing out there can reach you, nothing stirs and nothing ought You are held so gently here, right here where you are, Scott

  Chorus

  Scott, the night is soft around you, and it means you no harm Sleep is only another way of holding you warm Scott, my love will circle round you like that slow turning light Nothing in this whole wide dark can touch you tonight

  Verse 2

  The beam comes round so slowly, like a hand that checks you're near It touches every corner and it leaves no room for fear Your breathing settles softer than a story or a thought This is the calmest hour, and it belongs to you, Scott

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes and let the turning light do all the keeping Every worry of the day is folding into sleeping There is nowhere safer than the quiet that you're sinking into

  Chorus

  Scott, the night is soft around you, and it means you no harm Sleep is only another way of holding you warm Scott, my love will circle round you like that slow turning light Nothing in this whole wide dark can touch you tonight

  Bridge

  Rest now, the walls are only holding warmth for you to keep Every slow round of the light is rocking you toward sleep

  Chorus

  Scott, the night is soft around you, and it means you no harm Sleep is only another way of holding you warm Scott, my love will circle round you like that slow turning light Nothing in this whole wide dark can touch you tonight

  Outro

  The light will still be turning long after you have gone to sleep And I'll be right beside you, yours to hold and yours to keep
