Wings Against the Green Glass
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
A small moth taps so gently on the green glass by your bed
Its wings are asking softly to be let in from the dark
You are already warmer than any light could ever be
So close your eyes now, darling, let the quiet fill your head

[Chorus]
Nehemiah, hush now, the whole wide night is still
Nobody else could fill this small room the way you fill
You are the softest ember on this cold and turning hill
Sleep now, Nehemiah, sleep and let the world stand higher

[Verse 2]
That lamp will keep on glowing long after your eyes have closed
You never have to wonder if you're loved while you're asleep
Somebody's always watching over every breath you keep
This whole house holds you gently, however the wind blows

[Pre-chorus]
Let your small hands loosen, let your worries drift away
There's nothing you need chase tonight, no reason left to stay
So stay right here inside this hush, where love has come to lay

[Chorus]
Nehemiah, hush now, the whole wide night is still
Nobody else could fill this small room the way you fill
You are the softest ember on this cold and turning hill
Sleep now, Nehemiah, sleep and let the world stand higher

[Bridge]
Even moths know to find the warmest light and rest their wings
You were always going to be the brightest thing that sings

[Chorus]
Nehemiah, hush now, the whole wide night is still
Nobody else could fill this small room the way you fill
You are the softest ember on this cold and turning hill
Sleep now, Nehemiah, sleep and let the world stand higher

[Outro]
The moth has settled softly on the warm green glass to rest
Sleep now, you are held here, gently, safely, loved the best
