The Slow Brass Hour
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
Down the hallway something old is swinging soft and slow
Counting out the minutes till the morning light returns
Every little tick is telling you it's time to rest
Natalie, my darling, this is all the house is for tonight

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the brass keep time for you
Nothing hurries here, no reason left to fight the dark
Just the gentle swinging pulling you toward sleep

[Chorus]
Natalie, the whole night bends itself around your rest
Sleep is safe here, nothing waits to do you harm
Every wall is holding warmth here just for you
Natalie, you are held here, folded soft and warm

[Verse 2]
Somewhere down the hall the pendulum is dreaming too
Swinging through the dark the way your breathing slows
Nothing in this house is anything to fear tonight
You're the reason all this quiet ever grows

[Bridge]
Let the ticking carry all your worries far away
There's nothing waiting past the dark but morning

[Chorus]
Natalie, the whole night bends itself around your rest
Sleep is safe here, nothing waits to do you harm
Every wall is holding warmth here just for you
Natalie, you are held here, folded soft and warm

[Outro]
Somewhere down the hall the brass is swinging slower still
Sleep now, Natalie, the whole house waits to keep you warm
