Frost on the Sill
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
Frost is drawing quiet pictures on the windowsill tonight
Somewhere in the dark oak an owl is calling low
You are wrapped in blankets, held so warm and safe and tight
There is nowhere in the whole wide world you need to go

[Chorus]
Blanche, the night is holding you so gently in its hand
Every star above has learned the softness of your name
Close your eyes now, Blanche, and drift to some faraway land
Sleep will carry you along like moonlight through a windowpane

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the glass the branch is swaying, slow and bare
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever come too near
You are loved as surely as the frost that gathers there
Rest inside the quiet, there is nothing left to fear

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the owl sing its old and gentle song
Let the frost keep tracing patterns while you drift so deep
Nothing in this house tonight will ever lead you wrong

[Chorus]
Blanche, the night is holding you so gently in its hand
Every star above has learned the softness of your name
Close your eyes now, Blanche, and drift to some faraway land
Sleep will carry you along like moonlight through a windowpane

[Bridge]
However far the dark stretches beyond this room
You are the warmest thing that any night has known

[Chorus]
Blanche, the night is holding you so gently in its hand
Every star above has learned the softness of your name
Close your eyes now, Blanche, and drift to some faraway land
Sleep will carry you along like moonlight through a windowpane

[Outro]
The frost will still be waiting when the morning comes to call
And you'll be here, still loved, still safe, still held through it all
