Caroline, Soft as the Rain
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
Watch the raindrops slipping slowly down the glass tonight
and the lamp outside is glowing soft and low and gold and bright
nothing in the dark can ever reach this room
you are wrapped in warmth and you are held so right

[Chorus]
Caroline, the night has come to hold you soft and slow
Caroline, there's nowhere safer for your heart to go
close your eyes, let every worry simply melt away
you are loved beyond what any words could ever show

[Verse 2]
Every drop that falls is just the sky come down to rest
and the window hums a lullaby it never has confessed
nothing out there matters more than what is here
you are what this quiet golden light was blessed

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the yellow glow be all you ever need
feel the warmth around you like a promise or a seed
something soft is rising now, and calling you to sleep

[Chorus]
Caroline, the night has come to hold you soft and slow
Caroline, there's nowhere safer for your heart to go
close your eyes, let every worry simply melt away
you are loved beyond what any words could ever show

[Bridge]
Sleep is just a river and you're drifting out to sea
there is nothing waiting for you but the way things ought to be

[Chorus]
Caroline, the night has come to hold you soft and slow
Caroline, there's nowhere safer for your heart to go
close your eyes, let every worry simply melt away
you are loved beyond what any words could ever show

[Outro]
The glass still holds its raindrops as the lamp begins to dim
and you are safe inside this quiet, held and loved within
