The Warm Side of the Glass
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
Outside the glass is misting soft with the cold of the night
But you are wrapped in blankets warm, held gentle and tight
The window wears its silver beads, a slow and quiet rain
While you drift further from the day and closer to your dreaming

[Chorus]
Agnes, the whole wide dark is holding still for you
Every hush in this room is true, Agnes, so true
Sleep now, the night has nothing it would ever take from you
Agnes, you are the warmest thing this house has ever known

[Verse 2]
Somewhere the empty seats are cold where no one sits tonight
But here your small warm breath is turning everything to light
The frost can trace its patterns down the pane however it will
You are the reason this whole house is finally lying still

[Pre-chorus]
Let your eyes grow heavy now, there's nowhere left to be
No road, no chair, no window keeps a single thing from thee
Only this soft falling down toward the place where dreaming waits for you

[Chorus]
Agnes, the whole wide dark is holding still for you
Every hush in this room is true, Agnes, so true
Sleep now, the night has nothing it would ever take from you
Agnes, you are the warmest thing this house has ever known

[Bridge]
Let the glass keep its cold and its slow silver line
You were never the frost, you were always the shine
Rest now inside the warm you were always meant to find

[Chorus]
Agnes, the whole wide dark is holding still for you
Every hush in this room is true, Agnes, so true
Sleep now, the night has nothing it would ever take from you
Agnes, you are the warmest thing this house has ever known

[Outro]
The window still runs quiet with its slow and silver rain
But you are warm and far from it, and dreaming now, Agnes
