Heavy and Warm
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
Close your eyes now, the day has folded itself away
A heavy blanket is resting soft across your knee
Nothing can reach you, nothing can carry you far tonight
You are held here gently, safe as anyone could be

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the dark is only a curtain drawn down low
Your breathing is slowing, quiet as falling snow
Let the whole wide world wait outside this door

[Chorus]
Brenda, the night is wrapping softly around your shoulders
Nobody's leaving, nobody's letting go
You are the warmest thing in this whole house, Brenda
Sleep now, sleep slow

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a window is holding the moon up quietly
Your small hands have loosened, your fingers have let the day go
Breathe in the warmth that is gathered around you like arms
You are the softest thing that this whole night will know

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the dark is only a curtain drawn down low
Your breathing is slowing, quiet as falling snow
Let the whole wide world wait outside this door

[Chorus]
Brenda, the night is wrapping softly around your shoulders
Nobody's leaving, nobody's letting go
You are the warmest thing in this whole house, Brenda
Sleep now, sleep slow

[Bridge]
Nothing you carry needs carrying now
Let it rest, let it settle, let it slow
You were loved long before this evening started
You'll be loved long after you go

[Chorus]
Brenda, the night is wrapping softly around your shoulders
Nobody's leaving, nobody's letting go
You are the warmest thing in this whole house, Brenda
Sleep now, sleep slow

[Outro]
Somewhere that blanket is still resting warm across your knee
Sleep now, Brenda, there is nowhere else you need to be
