Fog on the Glass
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
Droplets slide down the pane while you settle into sleep
Every light outside goes soft and blurry in the deep
You are folded into warmth that the whole night cannot reach
Nothing out there in the fog is a promise you must keep

[Pre-chorus]
Let the glass hold the cold and the dark far from your bed
Let the hush of the house settle gently round your head
Close your eyes now, Elsi, there is nothing left to dread

[Chorus]
Elsi, Elsi, hush now, hush
Streetlamps blur to a golden brush
Sleep is a hand that holds you still
Nothing tonight can touch you, Elsi, love, be lush

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a window fogs while the streetlights start to swim
You are the warmest thing in a night gone soft and dim
Rain only taps to say that it cannot come inside
Sleep now, and drift on out past the pane and past the rim

[Chorus]
Elsi, Elsi, hush now, hush
Streetlamps blur to a golden brush
Sleep is a hand that holds you still
Nothing tonight can touch you, Elsi, love, be lush

[Bridge]
Every blur outside is a light that means you are held
Nothing in the fog can ever touch where you dwell

[Chorus]
Elsi, Elsi, hush now, hush
Streetlamps blur to a golden brush
Sleep is a hand that holds you still
Nothing tonight can touch you, Elsi, love, be lush

[Outro]
Let the glass keep sliding soft while the night stays away
Sleep now, Elsi, safe till the first light of day
