Slow Down the Glass
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a window is holding the night back for you
one small bead of water sliding slow down the pane
nothing outside needs to hurry, nothing needs proving tonight
only your breathing, soft and even, again and again

[Pre-chorus]
Let the whole world blur behind the glass and wait
let your eyes grow heavy, let your small hands rest
there is nowhere warmer than this quiet you're held in

[Chorus]
Brian, the dark is only a blanket pulled in close
hush now, Brian, nothing here will ever let you down
I will stay right here while the night keeps drifting past
you are the softest, safest thing in this whole sleeping town

[Verse 2]
The handrail holds steady though the glass keeps weeping slow
every drop that falls just makes room for one more
you don't have to hold on to anything but sleep
I am the hand that's holding what you're holding for

[Pre-chorus]
Let the whole world blur behind the glass and wait
let your eyes grow heavy, let your small hands rest
there is nowhere warmer than this quiet you're held in

[Chorus]
Brian, the dark is only a blanket pulled in close
hush now, Brian, nothing here will ever let you down
I will stay right here while the night keeps drifting past
you are the softest, safest thing in this whole sleeping town

[Bridge]
Rest now, let the tired hours run together like the rain
you are loved before you wake and after you close your eyes

[Chorus]
Brian, the dark is only a blanket pulled in close
hush now, Brian, nothing here will ever let you down
I will stay right here while the night keeps drifting past
you are the softest, safest thing in this whole sleeping town

[Outro]
The glass will still be there when the morning finally comes
but for now just rest, the whole night is only yours
