Soft the Wax Goes Down
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
The candle bends its light down low across the cedar floor
and everything is quiet now, the whole wide house has stilled
soft the wax goes pooling round like water finding shore
this room was built for you tonight and every wish fulfilled

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, the flame is dimming slow and sweet
the brass is cool, the day has laid its worries down
let the hush come gather you from head to feet

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Glenn, the night is holding you so gently
you are treasured more than any story I could tell
somewhere past the window there's a soft and sleepy Glenn
tucked in warm and certain that tonight will end you well

[Verse 2]
The wick will rest beneath its little cap of shining brass
smoke will curl up thin and slow like breath upon the air
you don't need to keep your eyes on anything that's passed
only need to know that you are wanted, you are rare

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, the flame is dimming slow and sweet
the brass is cool, the day has laid its worries down
let the hush come gather you from head to feet

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Glenn, the night is holding you so gently
you are treasured more than any story I could tell
somewhere past the window there's a soft and sleepy Glenn
tucked in warm and certain that tonight will end you well

[Bridge]
No shadow here will ever come to trouble you
every quiet minute now belongs to only you

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Glenn, the night is holding you so gently
you are treasured more than any story I could tell
somewhere past the window there's a soft and sleepy Glenn
tucked in warm and certain that tonight will end you well

[Outro]
The wax has settled still and soft around the cedar wood
rest now, you are loved here, and you always understood
