Rain on the Wooden Frame
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
Heavy drops are sliding down the wooden frame tonight
Rolling soft and slow like they are chasing candlelight
Nothing out there needs to reach you, nothing needs to try
You are warm and you are wanted, safe beneath this sky

[Pre-chorus]
Let the window keep its whispers, let the dark be kind
Every drop is only music written just to wind
Close your eyes and let the hush come pulling gently in

[Chorus]
Irene, the rain is falling soft and slow and serene
Nothing in this quiet house is sharper than it's been
Sleep is just a river running easy and between
Irene, my Irene, calm as any evergreen

[Verse 2]
Somewhere out beyond the glass the streets are turning grey
Here the lamp is low and gold and holding night at bay
Every little sound outside is only passing through
Nothing in the wide dark world could ever trouble you

[Bridge]
Rest your head where all the noise goes soft and far away
Morning always finds you here no matter how you lay

[Chorus]
Irene, the rain is falling soft and slow and serene
Nothing in this quiet house is sharper than it's been
Sleep is just a river running easy and between
Irene, my Irene, calm as any evergreen

[Outro]
The wooden frame still holds the rain, still keeps it soft and slow
Sleep now, you are held here, and I will not let you go
