The Window's Light
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
A beam comes sliding soft across the old wooden floor
Reaching quiet through the dark to find just where you lie
Nothing out there in the night could ever touch you more
Than the hush that's gathering now beneath this quiet sky

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Brenda, let the light keep watch till dawn
Close your eyes, my love, there's nothing here to fear
You are held so gently, Brenda, safe till morning's born
Every breath you take is precious, every breath is dear

[Verse 2]
The whole wide house goes quiet when your small eyes start to close
Every creak and corner softens, folding into rest
Somewhere far a light keeps turning, sweeping as it goes
Casting gold across the floor to say that you are blessed

[Pre-chorus]
Let the flashing beam remind you nothing here will harm
Let the warmth around you settle deep into your bones
Stay a little longer here inside this calm

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Brenda, let the light keep watch till dawn
Close your eyes, my love, there's nothing here to fear
You are held so gently, Brenda, safe till morning's born
Every breath you take is precious, every breath is dear

[Bridge]
However far the night may stretch, you're never left alone
Wrapped in something steady as a heartbeat all your own

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Brenda, let the light keep watch till dawn
Close your eyes, my love, there's nothing here to fear
You are held so gently, Brenda, safe till morning's born
Every breath you take is precious, every breath is dear

[Outro]
The light will keep on turning long after you're asleep
So rest now, little Brenda, there's nothing here to keep
