Thick Flakes on the Sill
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
Thick flakes are gathering soft on the old stone sill tonight
The curtain hangs heavy and keeps out the cold and the noise
You're wrapped in the warmth of this small quiet pool of light
No need to be anything more than my calmest, sleepiest joy

[Pre-chorus]
The world outside is falling slow and settling white and still
Nothing out there can reach you now, nothing ever will
So let your breathing slow right down and lean into

[Chorus]
Libby, the snow is falling soft and you are safe and warm
Nothing tonight can touch you here, nothing can do you harm
Close your eyes now, Libby, let the hush come find you here
Sleep is a gentle tide tonight and you have nothing to fear

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a window glows small and gold against the falling dark
You don't need to know where, only that you are held and known
The whole wide night can keep its noise, its distance and its mark
This little room is yours alone, and here you're never alone

[Chorus]
Libby, the snow is falling soft and you are safe and warm
Nothing tonight can touch you here, nothing can do you harm
Close your eyes now, Libby, let the hush come find you here
Sleep is a gentle tide tonight and you have nothing to fear

[Bridge]
Every flake outside is settling slower than the one before
Let that be the rhythm of your breathing, nothing more

[Chorus]
Libby, the snow is falling soft and you are safe and warm
Nothing tonight can touch you here, nothing can do you harm
Close your eyes now, Libby, let the hush come find you here
Sleep is a gentle tide tonight and you have nothing to fear

[Outro]
The flakes keep gathering gently on the sill behind the curtain
Sleep now, and know that you are loved, and that is certain
