Frost on the Window
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Frost is creeping soft across the black glass tonight
far off a streetlight hums its low and steady song
you are curled up warm and golden in the lamplight
safe from all the cold the whole night long

[Chorus]
Jesse, hush now, let the dark come slow and easy
close your eyes, my love, there's nothing you should fear
rest here, Jesse, where the quiet holds you gently
every breath you take is welcome here

[Verse 2]
Out beyond the glass the branches turn to lace and silver
nothing in that cold can ever reach where you lie
you're the warmest thing in every room you've ever entered
wrapped in blankets while the hours drift by

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere past the frost a small light keeps on humming
steady as a heartbeat, patient as the snow
and I'll stay right here until the morning's coming

[Chorus]
Jesse, hush now, let the dark come slow and easy
close your eyes, my love, there's nothing you should fear
rest here, Jesse, where the quiet holds you gently
every breath you take is welcome here

[Bridge]
Let the cold stay out there on the other side of morning
you were never meant to carry all that weight
sleep is just the world here gently, gently turning

[Chorus]
Jesse, hush now, let the dark come slow and easy
close your eyes, my love, there's nothing you should fear
rest here, Jesse, where the quiet holds you gently
every breath you take is welcome here

[Outro]
Frost will keep on branching quiet across the glass
but you sleep warm and held until this dark has passed
