Soft Against the Glass
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
Rain is drifting sideways past the window near your bed
Every drop is tracing paths that gather then release
Somewhere past the fences all the garden lights go dim
Nothing out there tonight was ever made to bring you fear

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the small sounds fade away
Nothing waits beyond the glass but hush and gentle grey
Sleep is coming closer now, so soft, so slow

[Chorus]
Maurice, the night has wrapped its arms around this room
Rain keeps sliding down in lines that never cease
You are held here safer than a lock behind the police
Maurice, sleep will carry you the way a tide leads home

[Verse 2]
Somewhere far beyond the fences something small takes flight
You are curled up warm while shadows learn to keep the peace
Every drop that runs the glass has somewhere soft to land
Nothing in the dark tonight would dare to dim your light

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the small sounds fade away
Nothing waits beyond the glass but hush and gentle grey
Sleep is coming closer now, so soft, so slow

[Chorus]
Maurice, the night has wrapped its arms around this room
Rain keeps sliding down in lines that never cease
You are held here safer than a lock behind the police
Maurice, sleep will carry you the way a tide leads home

[Bridge]
Hush now, let the rain keep counting out the hours
You are loved beyond whatever measure could increase

[Chorus]
Maurice, the night has wrapped its arms around this room
Rain keeps sliding down in lines that never cease
You are held here safer than a lock behind the police
Maurice, sleep will carry you the way a tide leads home

[Outro]
Somewhere past the fences the rain has gone to rest
Sleep now, small one, you are held and you are blessed
