Nora, Hold the Night
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
The white cotton lifts against the cold glass pane so slowly
Outside the dark is quiet, and the stars have banked their fire
Nothing in the world tonight is asking you for anything
There is only this soft room and the hush that you require

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the day go drifting out behind you
Every worry folds up small and settles somewhere far away
Sleep is coming closer now, warm as breath upon your cheek

[Chorus]
Nora, Nora, the night is holding you so gently
Nothing here can touch you while you rest inside this glow
You are loved beyond the counting, safe as anything can be
Nora, close your eyes now, let the quiet be all you know

[Verse 2]
The linen breathes so softly, like the room itself is sleeping
Somewhere past the window frost is drawing patterns on the pane
Nobody could love you more than every heart that's watching over you
And nothing in this house tonight will ever cause you pain

[Chorus]
Nora, Nora, the night is holding you so gently
Nothing here can touch you while you rest inside this glow
You are loved beyond the counting, safe as anything can be
Nora, close your eyes now, let the quiet be all you know

[Bridge]
Hush now, let the humming carry all your thoughts to quiet
You are held here, you are wanted, you are never on your own

[Chorus]
Nora, Nora, the night is holding you so gently
Nothing here can touch you while you rest inside this glow
You are loved beyond the counting, safe as anything can be
Nora, close your eyes now, let the quiet be all you know

[Outro]
The white cotton settles softly as the whole house drifts to slumber
Sleep now, little Nora, you are cradled safe till morning
