Behind the Glass
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
Downstairs the old clock keeps its slow and steady swing
Behind the glass it moves without a single sound
You are held so gently in the peace that it can bring
While all the house lies soft and still around

[Pre-chorus]
The hour hand is patient and it never has to hurry
Every tick is soft as breath, there's nothing left to worry
So close your eyes, my love, and let the quiet carry you

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Ada, the whole night is holding you near
Nothing will wake you, nothing will find you here
Ada, you are safer than the softest thing, my dear
Wrapped in the warmth that never has to disappear

[Verse 2]
The pendulum keeps swinging though nobody's watching it
It doesn't need an audience to keep its promise true
And that's how you are loved here, quiet as it, just as fit
A steady kind of loving that will always follow you

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Ada, the whole night is holding you near
Nothing will wake you, nothing will find you here
Ada, you are safer than the softest thing, my dear
Wrapped in the warmth that never has to disappear

[Bridge]
Every small hour is passing gently by
No need to count them, no need to ask them why
Rest here where the dark is only ever kind

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Ada, the whole night is holding you near
Nothing will wake you, nothing will find you here
Ada, you are safer than the softest thing, my dear
Wrapped in the warmth that never has to disappear

[Outro]
Somewhere down below the clock is swinging on for you
Keeping time so softly while you dream the whole night through
