Idris, the Window's Gone Soft
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
The window has gone soft with a small cloud of breath tonight
Blurring the corner where the cold world tries to peer in
Nothing out there can touch you while you're wrapped up so tight
You are the warmest thing in this whole room, Idris

[Chorus]
Idris, close your eyes now, let the quiet take its turn
Somebody loves you further than the furthest hill and past it
You are the reason this small room feels lit and warm and safe
Idris, you are held here, so soft you'd never miss it

[Verse 2]
Outside the glass turns silver, but you never have to know it
Frost can write its slow little secrets on the pane if it must
Inside there's only breathing, and the blanket's gentle rise and fall
You are the calm at the centre of all of this

[Pre-chorus]
Let the last light dim down soft behind your heavy little lids
Nothing needs you now but sleep, and sleep is coming kind
Rest here where it's warm, where every worry starts to slip

[Chorus]
Idris, close your eyes now, let the quiet take its turn
Somebody loves you further than the furthest hill and past it
You are the reason this small room feels lit and warm and safe
Idris, you are held here, so soft you'd never miss it

[Bridge]
Whatever the night is doing out beyond that fogged up glass
It can't come in, it can't undo this hush we've built for you

[Chorus]
Idris, close your eyes now, let the quiet take its turn
Somebody loves you further than the furthest hill and past it
You are the reason this small room feels lit and warm and safe
Idris, you are held here, so soft you'd never miss it

[Outro]
The window keeps its soft grey cloud until the morning comes
Sleep now, Idris, warm and certain, loved the whole night through
