Thick White Flakes
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
Thick white flakes are piling soft against the window glass tonight
Somewhere down the hallway a floorboard hums its old quiet song
Nothing in this house would ever let a single shadow near you
You are held here closer than the snow could ever fall along

[Pre-chorus]
Let the wind go wandering, it has nowhere warm to be
Let the creaking settle into something like a lullaby
Close your eyes now, there is nothing left for you to see

[Chorus]
Imogen, the night is only asking you to rest
Every falling flake is settling soft to keep you warm
Nothing out there wants to find you, nothing means you harm
Sleep now, Imogen, you always were the best held thing I know

[Verse 2]
The snow will keep on falling long after your eyes have closed
Nobody needs to watch it, that is what the dark is for
You can let the whole wide world go quiet now and drift away
You are safer than you'll ever need to know behind this door

[Chorus]
Imogen, the night is only asking you to rest
Every falling flake is settling soft to keep you warm
Nothing out there wants to find you, nothing means you harm
Sleep now, Imogen, you always were the best held thing I know

[Bridge]
Hush now, let the whole house breathe around you while you sleep
Nothing that you dream of tonight can follow you too deep

[Chorus]
Imogen, the night is only asking you to rest
Every falling flake is settling soft to keep you warm
Nothing out there wants to find you, nothing means you harm
Sleep now, Imogen, you always were the best held thing I know

[Outro]
The flakes are still falling soft against the glass, so slow
Sleep on, you are the warmest thing this whole house ever held
