Three Drops on the Glass
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
Three cold drops are sliding down the corner of the glass tonight
Chasing one another slowly through the last of the porch light
Nothing out there needs you, everything out there can wait
You are wrapped up warmer than the moon is warm and bright

[Pre-chorus]
The rain keeps its own time, so soft you barely hear it fall
Every drop is smaller than the love that holds you close through all
So let your eyes grow heavy as the hush begins to swell

[Chorus]
Bilal, the whole dark house is breathing slow around you now
Nothing in the night could ever touch you, I won't allow
You are held the way the harbour holds a returning vessel
Sleep, Bilal, there's nowhere safer than right here where you dwell

[Verse 2]
The window holds its three small travellers, still not home yet
Taking their own sweet time down the pane, as if they forget
But you don't have to wander, you can rest inside these walls
You're already where you're going, already my one and best

[Pre-chorus]
The rain keeps its own time, so soft you barely hear it fall
Every drop is smaller than the love that holds you close through all
So let your eyes grow heavy as the hush begins to swell

[Chorus]
Bilal, the whole dark house is breathing slow around you now
Nothing in the night could ever touch you, I won't allow
You are held the way the harbour holds a returning vessel
Sleep, Bilal, there's nowhere safer than right here where you dwell

[Bridge]
Somewhere far off a carousel has finally gone still
Every small bright thing is quiet, resting where it will
And you are the quietest, warmest thing of all tonight

[Chorus]
Bilal, the whole dark house is breathing slow around you now
Nothing in the night could ever touch you, I won't allow
You are held the way the harbour holds a returning vessel
Sleep, Bilal, there's nowhere safer than right here where you dwell

[Outro]
The last drop reaches the sill and settles, done with falling
You are settled too now, safe and warm and past all calling
