The Wax Grows Still
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
Watch how the small flame leans and settles low tonight
A pool of wax is hardening soft upon the plate
Nothing in this room is asking you to hold on tight
Just close your eyes now, darling, it is getting late

[Chorus]
Liliana, the night is holding you so gently now
Sleep is coming closer, warm as any hand can be
Rest here, Liliana, let the hush unwind your brow
There is nowhere calmer in the world than here with me

[Verse 2]
Shadows stretch out slowly on the wall beside your bed
Softly they are folding into corners out of sight
Nothing here will hurry you, no words that must be said
Only quiet settling like snow across the night

[Pre-chorus]
Feel the room grow heavy with a warmth that wants to stay
Every little worry has already drifted far
Let the hush come nearer as the candle fades away

[Chorus]
Liliana, the night is holding you so gently now
Sleep is coming closer, warm as any hand can be
Rest here, Liliana, let the hush unwind your brow
There is nowhere calmer in the world than here with me

[Bridge]
Small and steady, that is how the light was burning bright
You are held as softly as that low and golden glow

[Chorus]
Liliana, the night is holding you so gently now
Sleep is coming closer, warm as any hand can be
Rest here, Liliana, let the hush unwind your brow
There is nowhere calmer in the world than here with me

[Outro]
Now the flame is quiet, hardened smooth upon the plate
Sleep, my Liliana, safe and warm, it's getting late
