Soft as the Glass
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
The window's gone misty from the warmth of this room
and somewhere past the glass the night is turning still
I feel your small breath slowing like a tired tune
and I could stay right here beside you until

[Pre-chorus]
The cushions hum so soft beneath us both tonight
the cold outside can't reach you where you lie
so let your eyes grow heavy, let go of the light

[Chorus]
Gael, the dark is only resting, not unkind
close your eyes and let the hours sail
you're held here closer than you'll ever know or mind
and Gael, my love will never fail

[Verse 2]
Outside the drops are trailing slow along the pane
tracing paths that never seem to end
but here inside there's nothing cold that can remain
only warmth enough for you to spend

[Chorus]
Gael, the dark is only resting, not unkind
close your eyes and let the hours sail
you're held here closer than you'll ever know or mind
and Gael, my love will never fail

[Bridge]
Rest your head against the hush that's settling in
let the whole wide night grow calm and small
nothing in the dark tonight could ever do you harm
I am here to catch you if you fall

[Chorus]
Gael, the dark is only resting, not unkind
close your eyes and let the hours sail
you're held here closer than you'll ever know or mind
and Gael, my love will never fail

[Outro]
The glass will stay grown quiet, the room will hold its warmth
and you'll sleep safe till morning comes to call
