Amber on the Glass
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
Rain is drawing slow lines down the dark windowpane tonight
Every drop is catching gold from the streetlamp's amber glow
Nothing out there needs your worry, nothing needs your fight
You are warm and you are held while the quiet starts to grow

[Pre-chorus]
The light outside is softening into streaks we cannot name
Your breathing slows to match the hush that settles on the frame
So let the whole wide night dissolve to just this gentle flame

[Chorus]
Helen, close your eyes now, let the amber streaks all blur
There is nowhere warmer than this quiet room to dwell in
I will stay right here to watch the porch light and the stir
Helen, you're the softest word I ever learned the spell in

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the glass the town is turning down its noise
Every hurried step outside has slowed to almost none
You don't need to chase the day or hold its weight or poise
Only need to rest, my dear, now that the light is done

[Chorus]
Helen, close your eyes now, let the amber streaks all blur
There is nowhere warmer than this quiet room to dwell in
I will stay right here to watch the porch light and the stir
Helen, you're the softest word I ever learned the spell in

[Bridge]
Drop by drop the glass is singing something low and slow
Nothing in this house tonight will ever let you fall
You are safer than the streetlights, safer than the glow

[Chorus]
Helen, close your eyes now, let the amber streaks all blur
There is nowhere warmer than this quiet room to dwell in
I will stay right here to watch the porch light and the stir
Helen, you're the softest word I ever learned the spell in

[Outro]
The glass has gone to stillness, every amber drop asleep
And you are held here softer than the quiet it will keep
