Silver on the Wall
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
Shadows of the maple leaf are drifting soft above you
tracing little paths that only sleepy eyes can follow
watch how gently they go sliding across the ceiling
nothing in this room tonight is going to trouble you

[Pre-chorus]
Every little sound has gone as quiet as a feather
the whole wide house is settling in around you now
so let your breathing slow to match the dark and drifting weather

[Chorus]
Mason, the night has folded softly down around your bed
hush now, there's nowhere safer than the pillow for your head
Jason the moon might chase but Mason, sleep is chasing you
close your eyes, my love, and let the quiet in instead

[Verse 2]
You are the warmest thing in this whole sleeping house tonight
curled up small beneath the blankets, safe and out of sight
let your small hands rest, there's nothing left for them to carry
morning is a hundred slow, slow hours out of light

[Chorus]
Mason, the night has folded softly down around your bed
hush now, there's nowhere safer than the pillow for your head
Jason the moon might chase but Mason, sleep is chasing you
close your eyes, my love, and let the quiet in instead

[Bridge]
Somewhere a bell is turning slow, so far it barely rings
and everything that loves you folds its quiet wings

[Chorus]
Mason, the night has folded softly down around your bed
hush now, there's nowhere safer than the pillow for your head
Jason the moon might chase but Mason, sleep is chasing you
close your eyes, my love, and let the quiet in instead

[Outro]
The leaf shapes on the wall have slowed to almost nothing now
sleep well, small one, you are held and safe and warm somehow
