Lace Against the Glass
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
White lace is lifting soft against the dark night glass
and something in that motion tells the hours to pass slow
You're tucked in warm while breezes drift so far outside
safe in this room where nothing needs to hurry or hide

[Pre-chorus]
Close now those eyes that carried all the day's bright light
let every worry loosen and dissolve into the night
because there's nothing waiting here but rest and you tonight

[Chorus]
Madison, the dark is only velvet, only kind
sleep will come and find you gently, take its time
Madison, I'll watch the lace fall still against the pane
you are held, you are wanted, you are loved again

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window, quiet streets are turning grey
but nothing out there matters now, no need to look that way
Feel the blanket settle heavy, soft around your chest
this small room is the whole world, and the world's at rest

[Pre-chorus]
Close now those eyes that carried all the day's bright light
let every worry loosen and dissolve into the night
because there's nothing waiting here but rest and you tonight

[Chorus]
Madison, the dark is only velvet, only kind
sleep will come and find you gently, take its time
Madison, I'll watch the lace fall still against the pane
you are held, you are wanted, you are loved again

[Bridge]
Hush now, let the breathing slow to match the breeze
nothing here will hurt you, nothing here will leave

[Chorus]
Madison, the dark is only velvet, only kind
sleep will come and find you gently, take its time
Madison, I'll watch the lace fall still against the pane
you are held, you are wanted, you are loved again

[Outro]
The lace hangs still now, the breeze has gone to rest
and you sleep on, held closest, easiest, and best
