Warm Beside the Window
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
Raindrops slide down slowly on the dark and quiet glass
warm beside the radiator, you are curled up small
nothing out there in the night can reach you here at last
you are the softest, safest thing of all

[Pre-chorus]
Let the wind knock gently, it can't come inside
the room is warm around you, the world is shut out tight
close your eyes a little, let the hours glide

[Chorus]
Elsie, Elsie, the rain can fall all night
you are held here warmly, wrapped in golden light
nothing cold can find you, nothing dims your glow
sleep now, Elsie, drift where the soft winds go

[Verse 2]
The glass is cool and misty but your blanket holds the heat
every little shiver melts before it comes too near
you don't have to listen to the raindrops or the street
only to the quiet breathing you can hear

[Bridge]
Somewhere past the window the whole wide world spins slow
but here it's only you and the candle's gentle glow

[Chorus]
Elsie, Elsie, the rain can fall all night
you are held here warmly, wrapped in golden light
nothing cold can find you, nothing dims your glow
sleep now, Elsie, drift where the soft winds go

[Outro]
The rain still slides down slowly past the warm and glowing pane
and you sleep on inside it, far away from any rain
