Slow Down the Glass
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
Watch how the raindrops go sliding along the windowpane
Little warm room where the radiator hums its song
Nothing tonight is asking you to hurry or explain
Close your eyes now, Anne, there is nowhere you belong but here

[Pre-chorus]
Hear how the click of the heat keeps time with your breath
Soft is the dark and it means you no kind of harm
Sleep is just quiet, not distant, not anything like leaving

[Chorus]
Anne, my love, the night has room enough for you
Rain runs sideways but you are staying warm and still
Nothing outside of this window can touch you now
Anne, you are held, and you always, always will

[Verse 2]
Drops are racing each other down to the wooden sill
Somewhere a kettle ticks as it slowly starts to cool
You don't have to answer anyone or be anywhere else
Just breathe here, easy, safe as anything could ever be

[Chorus]
Anne, my love, the night has room enough for you
Rain runs sideways but you are staying warm and still
Nothing outside of this window can touch you now
Anne, you are held, and you always, always will

[Bridge]
Let the glass keep its small and steady weather
Let the warmth in this room be the only plan

[Chorus]
Anne, my love, the night has room enough for you
Rain runs sideways but you are staying warm and still
Nothing outside of this window can touch you now
Anne, you are held, and you always, always will

[Outro]
Somewhere the last drop slides and settles, quiet, on the sill
Sleep now, Anne, held warm as anything could ever be
