Slow Down the Night
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
Raindrops are sliding so slow down the glass tonight
Watching them fall while you rest in my arms
Frost on the window is catching the low lamp light
Nothing can touch you, my love keeps you warm

[Chorus]
Anthony, hush now, the dark is your friend
Close your eyes soft as the rain on the pane
Anthony, sleep and let every thought end
Warm as the radiator's low humming refrain

[Verse 2]
Somewhere the wind is just brushing the chimney
Ticking and warm is the sound in this room
Hearing you breathe is the sweetest small symphony
Sleep wraps around you like soft evening bloom

[Pre-chorus]
Feel how the warmth settles over your chest
Rain keeps on tapping so soft and so slow
Let it all carry you gently to rest

[Chorus]
Anthony, hush now, the dark is your friend
Close your eyes soft as the rain on the pane
Anthony, sleep and let every thought end
Warm as the radiator's low humming refrain

[Bridge]
Every drop on the glass is a whispered goodnight
Nothing will wake you, I'm holding you near

[Chorus]
Anthony, hush now, the dark is your friend
Close your eyes soft as the rain on the pane
Anthony, sleep and let every thought end
Warm as the radiator's low humming refrain

[Outro]
Rain will keep falling soft down the frosted pane
Sleep now, my Anthony, safe here again
