Feathers on the Glass
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
Feather shapes are drifting past the frosted windowpane
Soft as breath and quiet as the falling of the light
Overhead the old floor creaks its slow and gentle refrain
And nothing in this house would ever give you a fright

[Chorus]
Edgar, Edgar, close your eyes and let the dark be kind
Every shadow in this room is watching over you
Rest here, Edgar, with the whole wide night behind
There is nothing that this quiet will not carry you through

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the glass the winter wind is turning slow
Wrapping round the house the way my arms are round you now
Nothing that is out there ever needs to come or go
Only sleep is asking for your small and tired brow

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the creaking be a lullaby up above
Let the feather shadows settle like they're settling into love
And drift now on the sound of every quiet thing you're made of

[Chorus]
Edgar, Edgar, close your eyes and let the dark be kind
Every shadow in this room is watching over you
Rest here, Edgar, with the whole wide night behind
There is nothing that this quiet will not carry you through

[Bridge]
You are held here safer than the softest snow could fall
Warmer than the breath that fogs the glass along the sill
Nothing in the dark tonight is bigger than you at all

[Chorus]
Edgar, Edgar, close your eyes and let the dark be kind
Every shadow in this room is watching over you
Rest here, Edgar, with the whole wide night behind
There is nothing that this quiet will not carry you through

[Outro]
The feathers settle now, and so do you, so still, so slow
Sleep, Edgar, sleep, and let the whole house hum you low
