Slow Behind the Glass
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a clock is breathing slow behind old glass
brass hands turning gentle as the hours softly pass
the whole house leans in closer as the lamp burns low
and everything is waiting just for you to pass into sleep

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the dark is only a blanket pulled up tight
every shadow in this room is only saying goodnight
close your eyes and drift where the quiet numbers grow

[Chorus]
Jenson, the night is holding you soft and slow
warm as the light the old clock lets glow
nothing can touch you while I'm here to stay
Jenson, my darling, let the whole world go

[Verse 2]
The mahogany door keeps the ticking safe and near
a steady little heartbeat for you to hear
it counts you down gently to somewhere warm and deep
and I will stay beside you the whole way down to sleep

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the dark is only a blanket pulled up tight
every shadow in this room is only saying goodnight
close your eyes and drift where the quiet numbers grow

[Chorus]
Jenson, the night is holding you soft and slow
warm as the light the old clock lets glow
nothing can touch you while I'm here to stay
Jenson, my darling, let the whole world go

[Bridge]
Time can tick as slow as it wants tonight
we are not going anywhere before the light
rest inside the hush that this house lets grow

[Chorus]
Jenson, the night is holding you soft and slow
warm as the light the old clock lets glow
nothing can touch you while I'm here to stay
Jenson, my darling, let the whole world go

[Outro]
Somewhere the brass hands turn behind the darkened glass
and you sleep on safely as the quiet hours pass
