Rain on the Sill
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
Something soft is tapping at the window near your bed
little clay pots holding all the rain that's overhead
every drop is small and none of them can do you harm
you are folded up and held here, safe and warm

[Chorus]
Rowan, close your eyes now, let the evening carry you
nothing in this room tonight has anywhere to go but slow
the rain will hum a hush that only you can hear this clear
Rowan, you are wanted here, and wanted year to year

[Verse 2]
You breathe out slow and something in this house grows still
the small pots catch the rain that gathers on the sill
you are the warmest thing in every corner of this night
held so close that nothing here could ever feel unright

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere past the glass the whole wide sky is coming down
but none of it can touch the quiet that you've found
so let the dark stay soft and let your breathing slow and grow

[Chorus]
Rowan, close your eyes now, let the evening carry you
nothing in this room tonight has anywhere to go but slow
the rain will hum a hush that only you can hear this clear
Rowan, you are wanted here, and wanted year to year

[Bridge]
Let the rain keep counting hours you don't need to keep
you have nothing left to hold but sleep

[Chorus]
Rowan, close your eyes now, let the evening carry you
nothing in this room tonight has anywhere to go but slow
the rain will hum a hush that only you can hear this clear
Rowan, you are wanted here, and wanted year to year

[Outro]
The small clay pots will hold the rain till morning comes around
and you will still be loved as softly, sound for sound
