Warm Against the Glass
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
The door holds all the darkness back while you stay warm and dry
A cloud of breath is fading soft where your small hand pressed by
Outside the night is wide and still, but nothing gets to you
Rest now, the whole wide world can wait until the morning sky

[Pre-chorus]
Let every worry melt away like frost against the pane
The house is breathing slow with you, and nothing feels like strain
So close your eyes and drift along, there's nothing you must gain

[Chorus]
Nyla, the night is holding you the way I'm holding you now
Nothing can reach you here, nothing can touch you now
Sleep is a soft dark river and you're the gentlest sail
Nyla, my quiet Nyla, I'll keep you safe somehow

[Verse 2]
A trace of warmth still lingers where your breath had touched the door
Small proof that you were here and dreaming, nothing less, nothing more
Even the glass remembers you, the shape your hand once made
Sleep now, that warmth is with you still, it hasn't gone before

[Chorus]
Nyla, the night is holding you the way I'm holding you now
Nothing can reach you here, nothing can touch you now
Sleep is a soft dark river and you're the gentlest sail
Nyla, my quiet Nyla, I'll keep you safe somehow

[Bridge]
Every soft and fading thing finds its way home tonight
Even the mist upon the glass turns gentle in the light

[Chorus]
Nyla, the night is holding you the way I'm holding you now
Nothing can reach you here, nothing can touch you now
Sleep is a soft dark river and you're the gentlest sail
Nyla, my quiet Nyla, I'll keep you safe somehow

[Outro]
Somewhere the glass has cleared and the small warm mark is gone
But you are still my warmth, my Nyla, safe till dawn
