Glass Grown Warm
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a window is misting soft with the breath of night
Little clouds sliding down slow where the cold used to be
You are the warmth that keeps chasing that silvery light
Nellie, my quiet one, safe here with me

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the glass has gone cloudy and still
Nothing can reach through the fog to find you
Close up your eyes while the dark holds you gentle and true

[Chorus]
Nellie, the night is a blanket wrapped soft round your bones
Sleep finds you sweeter than honey, than jelly, than dew
Nobody's calling you home for you never left home
Nellie, this house has been waiting all evening for you

[Verse 2]
Rows of small seats sit forgotten and empty tonight
But you are not empty, you're full up with dreams to unfold
Traced in the damp is a heart, and it beats out of sight
Watching you sleeping is worth far more than gold

[Bridge]
Rest your small head where the hush likes to stay
Morning will come, but it's not due yet, not yet

[Chorus]
Nellie, the night is a blanket wrapped soft round your bones
Sleep finds you sweeter than honey, than jelly, than dew
Nobody's calling you home for you never left home
Nellie, this house has been waiting all evening for you

[Outro]
The glass has gone clear now, the misting has cleared from the pane
Sleep well, little Nellie, till morning comes round again
