Millie, Close Your Eyes
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
The striped rug lies cold on the floorboards by the door
Where the coat rack leans in shadows, still and kind
But you are wrapped up warm where the lamplight used to pour
And nothing in this house is left behind

[Pre-chorus]
Every corner of this room is watching over you tonight
The dark outside can never reach where you lie
So let your breathing slow now, let it settle soft and light

[Chorus]
Millie, Millie, the night is holding you so gently
Rest your head, there's nowhere safer you could be
You are loved beyond the hills and further, Millie
Sleep will carry you as soft as any sea

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window the whole wide world turns slow
While you are curled up small beneath the sheet
And every little sound out there has somewhere else to go
So let the quiet gather round your feet

[Bridge]
Hush now, nothing needs you, nothing calls your name
Only sleep, only stillness, only rest

[Chorus]
Millie, Millie, the night is holding you so gently
Rest your head, there's nowhere safer you could be
You are loved beyond the hills and further, Millie
Sleep will carry you as soft as any sea

[Outro]
The rug will still be waiting when the morning comes round warm
And you'll rise into the light that kept you safe from harm
