Soft Against the Glass
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
A small moth taps against the hallway glow tonight
Wings so soft you'd hardly hear them if they cried
And nothing in this house will come to bring you fright
I'm holding all the dark away, right by your side

[Chorus]
Idris, close your eyes, the whole wide house is still
Every breath you take is safe here, warm and slow
Idris, you are held, and nothing means you ill
Sleep now, little one, there's nowhere else to go

[Verse 2]
The light along the hall burns low and gold for you
Soft as any wing that beats against the glass
Nothing in this night has come to trouble you
Only quiet now, and dreams that drift and pass

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the hours turn as gentle as a sigh
Let the whole wide world go soft and blur and fade
Somebody is here, and isn't going to say goodbye

[Chorus]
Idris, close your eyes, the whole wide house is still
Every breath you take is safe here, warm and slow
Idris, you are held, and nothing means you ill
Sleep now, little one, there's nowhere else to go

[Bridge]
Even moths must rest their wings when morning's far away
And you can rest here too, however long you stay

[Chorus]
Idris, close your eyes, the whole wide house is still
Every breath you take is safe here, warm and slow
Idris, you are held, and nothing means you ill
Sleep now, little one, there's nowhere else to go

[Outro]
The light will keep on glowing soft when you're asleep
And I'll be here to watch it, keeping you to keep
