Safe From the Wind
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
The wet leaves shiver out there in the dark and blowing air
But nothing wild can find you, nothing rough can reach you here
The window holds the night back, gentle as a closing hand
You are warmer than the whole world knows, curled soft without a care

[Pre-chorus]
Let the branches toss and turn where the cold wind loves to roam
Every gust that rattles glass will never touch this home
Close your eyes now, Alexis, let the hush begin to grow

[Chorus]
Alexis, hush now, the night is holding you tight
Nothing outside in the wind can dim this small light
You are the calm in the middle of the storm
Alexis, sleep soft, you'll be safe until light

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a leaf is falling, spinning loose from its old tree
But you are held so gently, rooted deep as anything can be
The dark outside is only weather, passing by and gone by morning
And you are certain, steady, warm as anyone could be

[Bridge]
Let the wind ask questions at the glass all night
You don't have to answer, you can just breathe light
Whatever shakes the branches out beyond this room
Never gets to touch the quiet where you sleep

[Chorus]
Alexis, hush now, the night is holding you tight
Nothing outside in the wind can dim this small light
You are the calm in the middle of the storm
Alexis, sleep soft, you'll be safe until light

[Outro]
Let the leaves keep trembling, soft against the pane
You are already home, and home will always remain
