The Warm Glass
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
Streetlamps are melting soft along the misted pane tonight
Little one, the cold outside can't reach you where you lie
Warmth is gathering slow against the quiet glass
You're already halfway down to sleep, my heavy hearted light

[Pre-chorus]
Everything outside is turning blurry, turning slow
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever let you go
Close your eyes and drift where all the soft lights grow

[Chorus]
Betty, the whole wide night is holding you like a friend
Close your eyes now, Betty, let the day come to an end
Nothing out there can touch this warm and steady room
You are the one I'd choose again, Betty, again and again

[Verse 2]
Watch how the lamplight softens, spreading gold across the drops
Nobody in the world could love you more than this
Rest your small hand open like it's catching all that glow
You're the warmest thing I've ever held, and it never stops

[Chorus]
Betty, the whole wide night is holding you like a friend
Close your eyes now, Betty, let the day come to an end
Nothing out there can touch this warm and steady room
You are the one I'd choose again, Betty, again and again

[Bridge]
Sleep now, and let the glass keep all the night at bay
Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to stay awake but me

[Chorus]
Betty, the whole wide night is holding you like a friend
Close your eyes now, Betty, let the day come to an end
Nothing out there can touch this warm and steady room
You are the one I'd choose again, Betty, again and again

[Outro]
Somewhere the glass has settled, warm against the sleeping pane
Sleep well, Betty, you are held here, safe again
