Frost on the Glass
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Frost is climbing slowly up the window pane tonight
spreading like a secret in the lamplight's fading light
but you are wrapped in blankets, warm and safe and still
while the sleepy lane grows quiet past the windowsill

[Pre-chorus]
The streetlamp flickers softly like a far off star
nothing in the darkness needs to travel very far
and closer than the frost is everything you are

[Chorus]
Michael, close your eyes now, let the night be kind
leave the frost and shadows and the cold behind
you are held here gently, you are loved this way
Michael, rest here softly till the break of day

[Verse 2]
The glass is growing quiet with its silver lace
nothing cold can reach you in this tender place
somewhere down the lane a light begins to dim
but here the warmth is steady, here the world is calm

[Pre-chorus]
The streetlamp flickers softly like a far off star
nothing in the darkness needs to travel very far
and closer than the frost is everything you are

[Chorus]
Michael, close your eyes now, let the night be kind
leave the frost and shadows and the cold behind
you are held here gently, you are loved this way
Michael, rest here softly till the break of day

[Bridge]
Let the frost keep climbing, let the lamp keep flickering low
none of it can touch you, none of it can go
where your breathing settles soft and slow

[Chorus]
Michael, close your eyes now, let the night be kind
leave the frost and shadows and the cold behind
you are held here gently, you are loved this way
Michael, rest here softly till the break of day

[Outro]
The frost will keep its quiet watch upon the glass
while you drift off gently and the night slips past
