Soft Against the Glass
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
Drops are sliding slow down the window by your head
Traffic hums so far away, a river running low
Warm inside this room while the night is soft and grey
You are curled up safe where the gentle lights still glow

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the hours grow long and still
Nothing out there needs you, nothing calls you from this rest
Sleep is coming closer, soft as breath upon the sill

[Chorus]
Jean, my Jean, the dark is only kind tonight
Every sound outside has learned to hush and lean
Rest here where the glass keeps out the biting light
Nothing in this whole wide world could love you like Jean

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the fog the streetlights blur to gold
Little breaths of yours are steady, slow and clean
You don't need to know what the wide world has foretold
Just the warm and quiet here, just this in between

[Chorus]
Jean, my Jean, the dark is only kind tonight
Every sound outside has learned to hush and lean
Rest here where the glass keeps out the biting light
Nothing in this whole wide world could love you like Jean

[Bridge]
Let the hum outside go quiet, let it fade to hush
Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will rush

[Chorus]
Jean, my Jean, the dark is only kind tonight
Every sound outside has learned to hush and lean
Rest here where the glass keeps out the biting light
Nothing in this whole wide world could love you like Jean

[Outro]
Still the drops keep sliding, slow and soft as breath
Sleep now, little Jean, held safe from all the rest
