  Verse 1

  Somewhere a train is rolling slow through valley fog and pine Its wheels are clicking softer now, a hush along the line I hold you closer as that sound goes drifting out of view There's nothing in this whole wide world as safe and warm as you

  Chorus

  Victoria, the night is yours to keep Sleep now, sleep now, let the dark be kind Victoria, I'll watch you as you sleep No trouble in this world will find your mind

  Verse 2

  The distant engine hums a tune too far to understand But you don't need the words to know you're held by gentle hands I feel your breathing slowing as the whistle fades to grey There's nowhere I would rather be than watching you this way

  Pre-chorus

  The valley keeps its secrets and the fog rolls soft and low Every little sound out there is settling down to nothing And still I stay right here with you before the quiet grows

  Chorus

  Victoria, the night is yours to keep Sleep now, sleep now, let the dark be kind Victoria, I'll watch you as you sleep No trouble in this world will find your mind

  Bridge

  Far off wheels are turning slower into silence, into rest You are turning with them, sinking deeper into what is best Nothing out there in the dark can ever reach where you belong

  Chorus

  Victoria, the night is yours to keep Sleep now, sleep now, let the dark be kind Victoria, I'll watch you as you sleep No trouble in this world will find your mind

  Outro

  The last of that old engine sighs and settles into fog And you are safe and still and mine, sleeping sound and warm

  Verse 1

  The brass along the floor is holding on to daylight Softly where the cold wool carpet meets the wall You are curled up small beneath a blanket made for keeping Nothing in this room will let you fall

  Pre-chorus

  Listen how the house has gone as quiet as a heartbeat Every corner settling to hold you safe till morning Close your eyes and let the hush come pouring

  Chorus

  Victoria, the light is low and gentle now Nothing in the dark tonight can find you here Victoria, you're held by every corner of this room Sleep is closer now than any fear

  Verse 2

  The skirting glows a soft and steady yellow through the shadows While the carpet's cooler edges fade from view Somewhere between the warm brass and the quiet Sleep is waiting patiently for you

  Bridge

  You are the warmest thing this whole house carries Long after every little light goes low Rest now, let the stillness carry all you are tonight

  Chorus

  Victoria, the light is low and gentle now Nothing in the dark tonight can find you here Victoria, you're held by every corner of this room Sleep is closer now than any fear

  Outro

  The brass will still be glowing when the morning finds you Warm and safe, exactly where you always are

  Verse 1

  A blue checkered blanket lies soft at your feet tonight Folded across the slippers that kept your toes warm and light The house has gone quiet, the lamp has grown low and mild And nothing but calm is coming for my small child

  Pre-chorus

  Close your eyes now, let the day slip away and rest Every worry can wait till morning, held gently, held blessed Feel how the dark is only the softest kind of nest

  Chorus

  Victoria, sleep now, the night is calm and deep Nothing will wake you, nothing will break your sleep You are the story I will always want to tell Victoria, you are held, you are safe, you are well

  Verse 2

  The wool beneath the blanket still holds the warmth of you Every thread remembers the shape of what you do Somewhere the moon is rising slow behind the trees And carries every hope I have for you with ease

  Bridge

  Rest your small hands, let the breathing slow and spread Let every soft thing in this room hold up your head

  Chorus

  Victoria, sleep now, the night is calm and deep Nothing will wake you, nothing will break your sleep You are the story I will always want to tell Victoria, you are held, you are safe, you are well

  Outro

  The blue checkered edges still rest across your slippers there Sleep now, Victoria, you are held, you are cared for, you are rare
