Between the Chimes
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a pendulum swings soft behind the glass door
and faint little chimes go on drifting down the floor
you rest in the hush that comes after each sound
wrapped up in the quiet that gathers around

[Pre-chorus]
Down the dark hallway the echoes grow thin
listen how gently the night tucks you in
hold on to that stillness, let it carry you in

[Chorus]
Eileen, my Eileen, the hour is serene
hush now and drift where the chimes have been
you are the calm between one breath and the next
Eileen, sleep easy, there's nothing to dread

[Verse 2]
Somewhere that pendulum rocks slow behind the glass
time moves so gently it barely seems to pass
you are the warmth that stays after the light dims
safe in the arms that are holding you in

[Pre-chorus]
Down the dark hallway the echoes grow thin
listen how gently the night tucks you in
hold on to that stillness, let it carry you in

[Chorus]
Eileen, my Eileen, the hour is serene
hush now and drift where the chimes have been
you are the calm between one breath and the next
Eileen, sleep easy, there's nothing to dread

[Bridge]
Every soft chime is a promise repeated
that you are held close and you are completed
nothing can reach you while this house breathes slow

[Chorus]
Eileen, my Eileen, the hour is serene
hush now and drift where the chimes have been
you are the calm between one breath and the next
Eileen, sleep easy, there's nothing to dread

[Outro]
Somewhere that pendulum still swings behind the glass door
and you are the peace that it's keeping time for
