Slower Than the Rain
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
Two small drops are racing slowly down the cold glass pane
Neither one in any hurry to arrive
Just like you, you do not need to chase the world tonight
You are already the safest thing alive

[Chorus]
Hamza, close your eyes and let the night come soft and slow
Nothing out there needs you now, so let it go
Hamza, you are held here warmer than a summer day
I will stay until the morning finds its way

[Verse 2]
The wind can knock as gently as it likes upon the glass
It will never find a way to reach your bed
Every little sound out there is only saying goodnight
While the quiet gathers softly round your head

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere past the window all the world is turning slow
The lamp is low, the blankets warm, the hour kind
Close your eyes and let the small light guide you home

[Chorus]
Hamza, close your eyes and let the night come soft and slow
Nothing out there needs you now, so let it go
Hamza, you are held here warmer than a summer day
I will stay until the morning finds its way

[Bridge]
Rest now, little racer, you have nowhere left to run
There is no finish line before the sun
You have already won the only thing that matters, rest

[Chorus]
Hamza, close your eyes and let the night come soft and slow
Nothing out there needs you now, so let it go
Hamza, you are held here warmer than a summer day
I will stay until the morning finds its way

[Outro]
The drops have stopped their racing, settled quiet on the glass
Sleep now, Hamza, morning comes at last
