  Verse 1

  Wind is rattling soft against the chimney stack tonight Somewhere soot is drifting down through darkness to the floor Nothing outside can touch you, nothing dims your light Sleep is waiting gently now beyond the door

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the gales go tumbling far away Close your eyes and let the small world fall still Sleep is coming closer with the fading of the day

  Chorus

  Valerie, the night is only holding you with care Every gust outside just rocks you deeper in your rest Nothing in the dark can find you, nothing lingers there Valerie, you're safest here, of all the world's the best

  Verse 2

  Down the flue the soot falls softly, quiet as a sigh Warmth still gathers round you though the storm is wide You are held by hands that love you, tucked in safe and dry Nothing that is wild outside can reach your side

  Pre-chorus

  Hush now, let the gales go tumbling far away Close your eyes and let the small world fall still Sleep is coming closer with the fading of the day

  Chorus

  Valerie, the night is only holding you with care Every gust outside just rocks you deeper in your rest Nothing in the dark can find you, nothing lingers there Valerie, you're safest here, of all the world's the best

  Bridge

  Let the autumn empty all its noise upon the roof Sleep will keep you far beyond its reach

  Chorus

  Valerie, the night is only holding you with care Every gust outside just rocks you deeper in your rest Nothing in the dark can find you, nothing lingers there Valerie, you're safest here, of all the world's the best

  Outro

  Let the soot keep falling soft while you are dreaming deep Valerie, you're held all through your sleep

  Cello cradle · Cello · Low · Warm

  A cello lullaby that watches candlelight settle into stillness, the way it wants a small held heart to settle too. For the last quiet minutes before sleep.

  Verse 1

  The candle leans and lets its slow wax fall soft on the brass rim, taking its time to spill gathered light is easing into rest and you are held here, safer than it all

  Chorus

  Valerie, the whole room breathes for you warm as the last low flame the night burns through hush finds you first out of everyone it passes Valerie, the dark's not somewhere to fear, it's true

  Verse 2

  Watch how the light pools and never hurries anywhere gold going quiet along the shallow silver dish this is what waiting looks like when it loves you no rush at all, just warmth deciding to stay near

  Pre-chorus

  Your breathing slows to match the candle's own slow breath the wax has nearly stilled, the room is nearly still and something in me leans in closer just to say

  Chorus

  Valerie, the whole room breathes for you warm as the last low flame the night burns through hush finds you first out of everyone it passes Valerie, the dark's not somewhere to fear, it's true

  Bridge

  Sleep now, nothing here will move or change every soft thing in this room is on your side

  Chorus

  Valerie, the whole room breathes for you warm as the last low flame the night burns through hush finds you first out of everyone it passes Valerie, the dark's not somewhere to fear, it's true

  Outro

  The wax has settled small and gold along the rim sleep now, you are held here, and so warm

  Verse 1

  A thin gold line comes creeping underneath your door tonight It finds the pattern on the carpet and it turns it bright You watch it settle on the flowers woven in the floor Safe inside this little room with nothing to be scared for

  Chorus

  Valerie, the light is low and everything is kind Close your eyes, there's nowhere else you're meant to be tonight Nobody's counting up the hours, nobody's in a rush Valerie, my Valerie, just breathe now and hush

  Verse 2

  Somewhere past that door the whole house settles into rest Every creaking floorboard tucking in just like the rest You are the quiet centre where the warm light comes to lay There's nothing in the shadows, only softness on display

  Pre-chorus

  Hold on to how it feels to be this warm and this small Let every worry from the day just slip and gently fall There's one more song before the dark comes soft to take it all

  Chorus

  Valerie, the light is low and everything is kind Close your eyes, there's nowhere else you're meant to be tonight Nobody's counting up the hours, nobody's in a rush Valerie, my Valerie, just breathe now and hush

  Bridge

  Rain is tapping soft against the window like a friend Piano notes are folding into silence at the end Nothing has to happen now, nothing has to start You are held here fully, right at the centre of a heart

  Chorus

  Valerie, the light is low and everything is kind Close your eyes, there's nowhere else you're meant to be tonight Nobody's counting up the hours, nobody's in a rush Valerie, my Valerie, just breathe now and hush

  Outro

  That thin gold line will still be waiting there when morning comes Sleep now, Valerie, beneath the hush of everything that hums
