Edgar, Rest Your Eyes
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
Droplets are running down the dark and quiet pane tonight
Slow little rivers catching just the last soft light
Under the window your blanket waits folded and warm
And you are the reason this whole room feels right

[Pre-chorus]
The house has gone gentle, every sound has learned to hush
The dark outside is soft now, nothing left to rush
So let your small breath slow and follow where the quiet leads

[Chorus]
Edgar, the night is only holding you tonight
Close your eyes and let the hours drift out of sight
Somewhere a candle keeps its low and steady glow
And Edgar, you are safe here, you are held just right

[Verse 2]
The rain keeps tracing letters that only the glass can read
Falling so slowly, taking all the time it needs
Wrapped in wool and stillness you are warmer than the storm
And nothing in the dark tonight will touch where you sleep

[Chorus]
Edgar, the night is only holding you tonight
Close your eyes and let the hours drift out of sight
Somewhere a candle keeps its low and steady glow
And Edgar, you are safe here, you are held just right

[Bridge]
Every drop upon the window finds its own way down
Small and sure and gentle, never any rush or sound
You can rest the same way, easy, slow and free

[Chorus]
Edgar, the night is only holding you tonight
Close your eyes and let the hours drift out of sight
Somewhere a candle keeps its low and steady glow
And Edgar, you are safe here, you are held just right

[Outro]
The rain has settled softly on the folded wool below
Sleep now, Edgar, the whole dark night is gentle, and so slow
