Rain on the Sill
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
The rain is tapping soft against the window by your bed
and your little toy is watching from its perch upon the sill
nobody minds the weather when the fire burns so low
Alfie, you are warmer than the softest blanket spread

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the raindrops count you slowly down
let every worry drift away and settle like the dusk
because there's nothing waiting out there that could touch you now

[Chorus]
Alfie, Alfie, hush now, let the dark be kind
you are held here safer than a secret you could find
rain will sing its quiet song until the morning comes
and Alfie, you're the sweetest thought that ever crossed my mind

[Verse 2]
The toy upon the sill has seen a hundred nights like this
and every single one of them has ended soft and warm
you don't need to watch the window, you can let it go
there's nothing in the weather that could ever do you harm

[Bridge]
Somewhere past the glass the whole wide world is turning slow
but here inside these walls it's only you I'm thinking of

[Chorus]
Alfie, Alfie, hush now, let the dark be kind
you are held here safer than a secret you could find
rain will sing its quiet song until the morning comes
and Alfie, you're the sweetest thought that ever crossed my mind

[Outro]
Sleep now, and the little toy will keep the watch tonight
rain will hush the window till you wake to morning light
