  Verse 1

  Out past the window an owl keeps its quiet post Watching the dark like a friend and not a ghost Nothing can trouble you tucked in so deep You are the reason the whole night stays asleep

  Pre-chorus

  Close your small hands and let the hours grow slow Every soft shadow is just the night saying hello Rest now, my darling, while the stars begin to glow

  Chorus

  Theodore, Theodore, sleep and adore The hush of the dark as it wraps round the shore I will stay near you, I won't leave before Morning comes gentle and opens the door

  Verse 2

  Wind moves so softly it barely stirs a leaf You are held safely, there's nothing to grieve Somewhere an owl blinks slow on its perch You are the treasure this whole night would search

  Chorus

  Theodore, Theodore, sleep and adore The hush of the dark as it wraps round the shore I will stay near you, I won't leave before Morning comes gentle and opens the door

  Bridge

  Let the quiet carry what words cannot say You are adored in the dark same as day Sleep is only love wearing a softer face

  Chorus

  Theodore, Theodore, sleep and adore The hush of the dark as it wraps round the shore I will stay near you, I won't leave before Morning comes gentle and opens the door

  Outro

  Somewhere that owl still watches the fence line alone Sleep now, my darling, you are cherished, you're home

  Verse 1

  The fire is sinking low and softly turning into ember light folding in on itself like something holding on so tight nothing left to crackle, only warmth that stays and you are wrapped inside it, safe and out of sight

  Chorus

  Theodore, the whole house breathes slower now that you're asleep close your eyes, my love, there's nothing here to keep just the hush and the low light burning down to gold Theodore, this quiet's yours to have and yours to keep

  Verse 2

  Somewhere in the ash a small light keeps on holding steady watching over you the way it always has, already it doesn't need to blaze to prove that it still cares it just stays lit and low, patient and ready

  Pre-chorus

  Let the last of the warmth settle soft across the floor let your breathing slow to match what's burning at the door there's nothing in this dark that you should wait up for

  Chorus

  Theodore, the whole house breathes slower now that you're asleep close your eyes, my love, there's nothing here to keep just the hush and the low light burning down to gold Theodore, this quiet's yours to have and yours to keep

  Bridge

  Even when the flame is gone the warmth will linger on held here in the room until the darkest hour has flown you were loved before the fire, you'll be loved when it is gone

  Chorus

  Theodore, the whole house breathes slower now that you're asleep close your eyes, my love, there's nothing here to keep just the hush and the low light burning down to gold Theodore, this quiet's yours to have and yours to keep

  Outro

  The embers will keep glowing long after you have gone to sleep watching over you so gently, quiet, low and deep

  Verse 1

  The candle on the table burns low and settles slow A small and steady flicker keeping watch here on the floor This quiet little house is holding you the way it should hold And every breath you take tonight is what I'm counting for

  Pre-chorus

  The wax runs down in ribbons while the room grows soft and dim Nothing in this whole wide dark can reach you where you are So let your eyes grow heavy now and drift wherever they swim

  Chorus

  Theodore, the night is kind and it will keep you safe till morning Nothing here will hurry you, there's no need to be scared Sleep is just a gentle boat and you're the one it's sworn in Theodore, however far you drift, you'll wake up still adored

  Verse 2

  The flame leans toward the window like it's tired too and small Casting one long shadow softly stretching by the door Somewhere out beyond the glass the whole night's settling small And you're the warmest thing in it, the one worth waiting for

  Bridge

  Let the dark come slow and easy, nothing here will make you jump One small light is all it takes to make a whole house sure Sleep now, you don't have to hold on to anything at all

  Chorus

  Theodore, the night is kind and it will keep you safe till morning Nothing here will hurry you, there's no need to be scared Sleep is just a gentle boat and you're the one it's sworn in Theodore, however far you drift, you'll wake up still adored

  Outro

  The candle burns down low and quiet, easy on the wooden table Sleep now, love, the whole night's yours to keep
