Thin Lines of Rain
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
Rain is drawing quiet lines along the metal frame
Soft as breath against the glass it never makes a sound
Close your eyes and let the hush come gather round your name
Nothing here tonight will ever let you down

[Pre-chorus]
Every drop is finding its slow way back home
Down the pane and past the sill to somewhere warm and low
So let your busy little day begin to still and slow

[Chorus]
Cyrus, hush now, let the rain sing you to sleep
Nothing out there in the dark will ever reach this room
You are held here safer than a secret you could keep
Cyrus, sleep now, warm beneath the falling gloom

[Verse 2]
Every light along the street has dimmed its eye to rest
Only one small lamp still burns to watch you drifting far
You are curled up smaller than a bird within its nest
Wrapped in more soft warmth than any blanket ever was

[Chorus]
Cyrus, hush now, let the rain sing you to sleep
Nothing out there in the dark will ever reach this room
You are held here safer than a secret you could keep
Cyrus, sleep now, warm beneath the falling gloom

[Bridge]
Let the window keep its watch while you let go
Somebody stays awake so all your dreaming can be slow

[Chorus]
Cyrus, hush now, let the rain sing you to sleep
Nothing out there in the dark will ever reach this room
You are held here safer than a secret you could keep
Cyrus, sleep now, warm beneath the falling gloom

[Outro]
Still the rain runs down in thin lines past the frame
Sleep now, little one, and carry nothing but your name
