Nothing Out There Tonight
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
Dark feathers brush the window where the streetlight starts to flicker
Soft as a breath against the cold and quiet glass
You are folded up in blankets, warm and safe and heavy eyed
While the whole wide sleeping world goes drifting slowly past

[Pre-chorus]
Let the shadows out there settle, let the streetlight dim and sway
There is nothing in this room but you and me and gentle grey
Close your eyes now, hold my hand, and drift the dark away

[Chorus]
Emilia, the night is only velvet, soft and kind
Nothing out there means you harm, nothing out there ever will
Rest inside the quiet now and leave the world behind
Emilia, sleep is only stillness, calm and still

[Verse 2]
Streetlights flicker far beyond the glass but cannot reach you here
Every wing that moves outside is only settling for the night
You are wrapped in something warmer than the coldest windowpane
Held so close that nothing out there ever comes to sight

[Pre-chorus]
Let the shadows out there settle, let the streetlight dim and sway
There is nothing in this room but you and me and gentle grey
Close your eyes now, hold my hand, and drift the dark away

[Chorus]
Emilia, the night is only velvet, soft and kind
Nothing out there means you harm, nothing out there ever will
Rest inside the quiet now and leave the world behind
Emilia, sleep is only stillness, calm and still

[Bridge]
Every flutter at the glass is only settling to rest
You are the warmest thing this whole cold night has ever known

[Chorus]
Emilia, the night is only velvet, soft and kind
Nothing out there means you harm, nothing out there ever will
Rest inside the quiet now and leave the world behind
Emilia, sleep is only stillness, calm and still

[Outro]
The feathers settle soft against the glass and then are still
Sleep now, you are held, and nothing out there ever will
