Cool Against the Glass
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
Somewhere on the table a cool glass is catching light
Little drops are sliding slow into the quiet night
Nothing in this house tonight is asking you to run
Everything is finishing, the day and you are done

[Chorus]
Fred, the dark is soft and it is only holding you
Close your eyes now, Fred, there's nothing left to do
Every drop that falls tonight is falling nice and slow
You are held here safely, Fred, and safe is all you know

[Verse 2]
The red straps hold the glass the way my arms are holding you
Steady in the stillness while the whole wide house goes blue
Water finds its way down slow, it never has to rush
And under all this quiet there is only gentle hush

[Pre-chorus]
Feel how heavy your eyes are getting now, how soft your breath has grown
Nothing needs an answer and there's nowhere left to go
So let the last light dim and drift where only sleep is known

[Chorus]
Fred, the dark is soft and it is only holding you
Close your eyes now, Fred, there's nothing left to do
Every drop that falls tonight is falling nice and slow
You are held here safely, Fred, and safe is all you know

[Bridge]
However far the night goes on, you'll still be someone's rest
However cold the glass may feel, you're warm against my chest

[Chorus]
Fred, the dark is soft and it is only holding you
Close your eyes now, Fred, there's nothing left to do
Every drop that falls tonight is falling nice and slow
You are held here safely, Fred, and safe is all you know

[Outro]
The glass has gone still now and the water's found its bed
Sleep on, little Fred, with the quiet round your head
