Silver on the Glass
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
Rain is drawing quiet lines down the window near your bed
Soft and slow they slide together, gentle as a sigh
Nothing in this room can touch you, nothing to be said
Curtains barely move at all beneath the darkened sky

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, the night is folding softly over you
Every little sound outside is turning into hush
Hold this warmth a little longer, let it carry you

[Chorus]
Ellie, Ellie, drift away now, safe beneath the deep
Nothing out there in the dark can reach you while you sleep
Rain may fall forever gently, you are warm and dry
Ellie, you are held so closely, sleep and do not cry

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the cold glass drops are sliding one by one
Here inside the air is heavy, soft as evening light
You have nothing left to carry, all your work is done
Rest now in the quiet keeping, tucked away from night

[Chorus]
Ellie, Ellie, drift away now, safe beneath the deep
Nothing out there in the dark can reach you while you sleep
Rain may fall forever gently, you are warm and dry
Ellie, you are held so closely, sleep and do not cry

[Bridge]
Every drop upon the window finds its quiet way down
Just like you will find your rest now, calm and safe and sound

[Chorus]
Ellie, Ellie, drift away now, safe beneath the deep
Nothing out there in the dark can reach you while you sleep
Rain may fall forever gently, you are warm and dry
Ellie, you are held so closely, sleep and do not cry

[Outro]
Still the silver keeps on sliding down the sleeping glass
Rest now, little one, so gently, let the night go past
