  Verse 1

  A thin yellow beam is sweeping over the cracks in the plaster Sliding so slowly it barely seems to move at all Nothing out there can find its way past this door And you are held here safer than anything could master

  Pre-chorus

  The light keeps circling soft above your head like it knows you Every shadow in this room is settling down to bow low So close your eyes now, let the quiet come and hold you

  Chorus

  Steve, the whole dark house is breathing slow around you Nothing in this night has ever come to wound you Rain is counting time upon the glass to soothe you Steve, there is nowhere safer than the arms that found you

  Verse 2

  The beam has slipped along the wall to warm another corner Tracing all the little lines like roads that lead you home You do not need to follow where it's gone There is nothing you should chase, nowhere you should wander

  Chorus

  Steve, the whole dark house is breathing slow around you Nothing in this night has ever come to wound you Rain is counting time upon the glass to soothe you Steve, there is nowhere safer than the arms that found you

  Bridge

  Let the rain keep falling soft on every sill and ledge Let it hush you further down than any thought or worry Nothing waits beyond this room to pull you from the edge

  Chorus

  Steve, the whole dark house is breathing slow around you Nothing in this night has ever come to wound you Rain is counting time upon the glass to soothe you Steve, there is nowhere safer than the arms that found you

  Outro

  The light has settled now, a thin gold thread across the plaster Sleep now, you are held, and nothing here can ever harm you

  Verse 1

  The clock behind the glass has counted out its final click Its two small teeth have settled soft and slow And every corner of this room is folded warm around you There's nowhere in the world you need to go

  Pre-chorus

  The dark is only softness dressed in evening clothes tonight No shadow here would ever dare to climb so high So close your eyes and drift where all the quiet things reside

  Chorus

  Steve, my dear, the whole wide night is holding you so gently Every star has leaned in close to watch you dream You are safe as any harbour ever cradled in the moonlight Steve, there's nothing here but calm and steady seams

  Verse 2

  The pendulum has stopped its swinging just to let you settle Even time has slowed its steps to match your breath And somewhere past the glass the whole night listens just for you Wrapped in something softer than the dark could ever hold

  Chorus

  Steve, my dear, the whole wide night is holding you so gently Every star has leaned in close to watch you dream You are safe as any harbour ever cradled in the moonlight Steve, there's nothing here but calm and steady seams

  Bridge

  Sleep is just a door that opens soft and lets you through Nothing waits beyond it but the ones who love you true

  Chorus

  Steve, my dear, the whole wide night is holding you so gently Every star has leaned in close to watch you dream You are safe as any harbour ever cradled in the moonlight Steve, there's nothing here but calm and steady seams

  Outro

  The glass has gone as still as breath, the small teeth quiet now Sleep on, Steve, the whole night keeps you safe somehow

  Verse 1

  Far off the white foam slides across the dark stones so slow and something in that hush says all is well below the night has pulled its blanket wide across the sea and shore so let your busy little hands not carry you anymore

  Pre-chorus

  Listen how the water settles soft against the sand the whole wide night is holding you so gently in its hand and closer than that far off tide, there's someone here to stay

  Chorus

  Steve, my love, the dark won't ever ask too much of you close your eyes and let the quiet carry what is true Steve, the stars have all agreed to watch you while you sleep nothing in this soft night comes to wake you or to keep

  Verse 2

  The foam keeps folding over stones it's touched a thousand times and never once has hurried through its slow and easy rhymes so let your breathing find that same unbothered kind of pace there's nowhere you need reach tonight, no far off moving place

  Chorus

  Steve, my love, the dark won't ever ask too much of you close your eyes and let the quiet carry what is true Steve, the stars have all agreed to watch you while you sleep nothing in this soft night comes to wake you or to keep

  Bridge

  Every wave goes out and always finds its way back home just like you were never truly meant to rest alone warm and low the night wraps round you soft as it can weave

  Chorus

  Steve, my love, the dark won't ever ask too much of you close your eyes and let the quiet carry what is true Steve, the stars have all agreed to watch you while you sleep nothing in this soft night comes to wake you or to keep

  Outro

  Somewhere far the foam still slides across those dark quiet stones and here you rest as safe and held as anyone has known
