Slower Than the Rain
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
The window wears a hundred little rivers running slow
each one a small light finding its way down through the dark
and here inside the warmth is holding steady while they go
you rest beneath it safer than a candle keeps its spark

[Chorus]
Lily-Rose, the whole night settles when you close your eyes
hush is a blanket that the quiet folds and softly throws
under it you're held by something warmer than the skies
sleep now, Lily-Rose, and let the last light go

[Verse 2]
Outside the glass grows cold and traces slip from top to base
but nothing cold can reach you tucked in warm behind the pane
you're miles from every worry, you're a calm and gentle place
and every drop outside just says goodnight to you again

[Pre-chorus]
Your breathing slows to match the hush that settles round the room
the small world dims to nothing but the shape of you at rest
and something soft and steady hums you gently towards a doon

[Chorus]
Lily-Rose, the whole night settles when you close your eyes
hush is a blanket that the quiet folds and softly throws
under it you're held by something warmer than the skies
sleep now, Lily-Rose, and let the last light go

[Bridge]
No drop can touch you, no dark can reach you here
you're wrapped in something kinder than the cold outside can be

[Chorus]
Lily-Rose, the whole night settles when you close your eyes
hush is a blanket that the quiet folds and softly throws
under it you're held by something warmer than the skies
sleep now, Lily-Rose, and let the last light go

[Outro]
The window still runs quiet with its rivers in the dark
but you are warm and dreaming, far beyond their reach
