Wings Over the Window
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
Something wide and quiet is drifting past the glass tonight
Gliding soft and slow beneath the pale and sleepy light
Nothing needs to stir
You can rest here safe and still while it glides by

[Chorus]
Ffion, close your eyes now, let the whole night soften round you
Every hush in this room was only ever built to hold you
Ffion, drift away slow, there is nowhere you need to fly
Sleep is just another pair of wings to carry you

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window something bigger keeps the watch for you
Silent as a held breath, gentle as the things we do
Sleep and do not worry
There is nothing out there wanting anything but you

[Pre-chorus]
Feel how heavy your eyes have grown, how soft the room has turned
Every little sound outside has settled down and learned
To let this quiet stay, and lean you toward

[Chorus]
Ffion, close your eyes now, let the whole night soften round you
Every hush in this room was only ever built to hold you
Ffion, drift away slow, there is nowhere you need to fly
Sleep is just another pair of wings to carry you

[Bridge]
Whatever passes over us tonight means only to be kind
Nothing out there in the dark was ever built to find
A reason to come near you, a reason to intrude

[Chorus]
Ffion, close your eyes now, let the whole night soften round you
Every hush in this room was only ever built to hold you
Ffion, drift away slow, there is nowhere you need to fly
Sleep is just another pair of wings to carry you

[Outro]
The wide slow shape has passed the window, gone as soft as it came
Sleep now, you are held by something gentler than a name
