A Wing Against the Glass
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Feathers settle soft against the darkened windowpane tonight
Something vast and gentle keeps its watch above your head
A great wing folds around this house and holds the world so tight
There is nowhere calmer, love, than this small quiet bed

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing moves too fast when everything you need is near
Let the hush of evening gather close around your ear
Hold my hand a little longer while the dark grows clear

[Chorus]
Fiona, the night has folded gently over you
Rest inside the quiet, let the stars keep watch till dawn
Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will see you through
I will stay beside you, Fiona, until the morning comes

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the glass a heavy wingbeat stirs the air so still
Nothing in that motion ever reaches where you lie
It only means the night is breathing, slow against the sill
And you are held here safely underneath a watching sky

[Bridge]
Every shadow softens when it settles by your side
Sleep is just the feeling of being loved and safe inside

[Chorus]
Fiona, the night has folded gently over you
Rest inside the quiet, let the stars keep watch till dawn
Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will see you through
I will stay beside you, Fiona, until the morning comes

[Outro]
The feathers rest so still against the glass and dim from view
Sleep now, Fiona, the whole night through belongs to you
