Feathers on the Glass
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Feathers are brushing the dark of the window so lightly tonight
You never need worry what moves in the shadows out there
I'll keep you tucked warm where the lamp glows a low golden light
Nothing can reach you while you're held safe in my care

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the house settles deep into its slow evening sigh
Rest your small hand on my arm and let go of the day
There's nothing but softness and dark and my hum for a lullaby

[Chorus]
Molly, the night has come gentle to carry you home
Sleep and I'll stay right beside you till morning is here
Molly, you're held closer than starlight, you're never alone
Close your eyes, Molly, there's nothing at all left to fear

[Verse 2]
Up in the attic the wind finds a feather to play with alone
I'll keep it out there while you drift under blankets so deep
You are the warmest and dearest thing this house has ever known
Let every worry dissolve now and give in to sleep

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the house settles deep into its slow evening sigh
Rest your small hand on my arm and let go of the day
There's nothing but softness and dark and my hum for a lullaby

[Chorus]
Molly, the night has come gentle to carry you home
Sleep and I'll stay right beside you till morning is here
Molly, you're held closer than starlight, you're never alone
Close your eyes, Molly, there's nothing at all left to fear

[Bridge]
Somewhere above us the dark keeps its own quiet company
But down here the only sound left is my heartbeat and yours
Rock with me slowly, there's nowhere as safe as this could be

[Chorus]
Molly, the night has come gentle to carry you home
Sleep and I'll stay right beside you till morning is here
Molly, you're held closer than starlight, you're never alone
Close your eyes, Molly, there's nothing at all left to fear

[Outro]
The feather has settled, the glass has gone still and quiet
Sleep now, my Molly, held safe till the morning light finds you
