Snow on the Sill
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
Grey clouds lean low and settle soft against the glass tonight
White flakes gather on the sill like sleep that's come to stay
Somewhere out there the whole wide world is turning down its light
And here you're warm, and nothing cold can find its way

[Chorus]
Cecil, Cecil, let your breathing slow
Rest inside the quiet only you and I can keep
Nothing out there ever needs to know
Cecil, close your eyes, it's time to sleep

[Verse 2]
Frost is drawing shapes along the corner of the pane
You don't have to watch it, you can let your eyelids fall
I will keep the warmth in here however hard it's blown
Nothing from the night outside can reach you through this wall

[Pre-chorus]
Feel how still the room has grown around you now
Every little worry loosens, drifting out of reach
Hush is calling softly, and it's calling loud enough

[Chorus]
Cecil, Cecil, let your breathing slow
Rest inside the quiet only you and I can keep
Nothing out there ever needs to know
Cecil, close your eyes, it's time to sleep

[Bridge]
You are held here safer than a candle from the wind
Loved here steadier than any light could ever be

[Chorus]
Cecil, Cecil, let your breathing slow
Rest inside the quiet only you and I can keep
Nothing out there ever needs to know
Cecil, close your eyes, it's time to sleep

[Outro]
Snow will keep on falling soft and settle on the sill
You can sleep, my Cecil, you are safe here still
