Lace Against the Glass
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
The lace is stirring softly against the cold windowpane
While something warm is curled here safe beneath the eaves
You breathe so slow beside me like the hush before the rain
And all the night grows gentle just for you, Mabli, believes

[Chorus]
Mabli, Mabli, close your eyes and let the dark be kind
Nothing in this room tonight would ever wish you harm
You are held so closely, Mabli, you will always find
This quiet little world of ours will keep you safe and warm

[Verse 2]
The curtain taps so lightly like it's humming you to rest
Outside the glass is cold but nothing cold can reach this bed
You are the warmest thing I know, held gently to my chest
And every worry of the day dissolves inside your head

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the wind outside just whisper as it pleases
Nothing in the shadows here has ever meant you ill
So let your breathing slow right down until the whole world eases

[Chorus]
Mabli, Mabli, close your eyes and let the dark be kind
Nothing in this room tonight would ever wish you harm
You are held so closely, Mabli, you will always find
This quiet little world of ours will keep you safe and warm

[Bridge]
Sleep can feel so far away when little hands won't settle
But you are safe as candlelight cupped gently from the breeze
There is nothing sharp or loud allowed to touch this cradle
Only soft and slow tonight, only hush and only ease

[Chorus]
Mabli, Mabli, close your eyes and let the dark be kind
Nothing in this room tonight would ever wish you harm
You are held so closely, Mabli, you will always find
This quiet little world of ours will keep you safe and warm

[Outro]
The lace has settled quiet now against the cold windowpane
And you are sleeping softly where you always will belong
