Between the Raindrops
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Watch how the water runs slowly down the pane tonight
every small drop finding its own quiet way down
and you are curled here in the soft lamplight
warmer than anything that moves through this town

[Pre-chorus]
The glass holds the dark outside so gently apart from you
nothing tonight is sharp enough to reach where you lie
and all of the noise of the world has gone thin and grew

[Chorus]
Maureen, the night is folding soft around you now
sleep is a river and you are drifting between
nothing can touch you, no shadow, no how
you are the calmest thing that this house has seen

[Verse 2]
One drop meets another and they slide as one
tracing a path that only the window has seen
you breathe so slow beneath this dimming sun
held in a hush that feels entirely clean

[Pre-chorus]
The glass holds the dark outside so gently apart from you
nothing tonight is sharp enough to reach where you lie
and all of the noise of the world has gone thin and grew

[Chorus]
Maureen, the night is folding soft around you now
sleep is a river and you are drifting between
nothing can touch you, no shadow, no how
you are the calmest thing that this house has seen

[Bridge]
Rest here where the rain cannot find a way in
let every worry slide off like water on glass
you are so deeply, quietly loved, Maureen

[Chorus]
Maureen, the night is folding soft around you now
sleep is a river and you are drifting between
nothing can touch you, no shadow, no how
you are the calmest thing that this house has seen

[Outro]
The last drop settles slow at the bottom of the pane
and you sleep on, safe and still, held gently again
