Soft Against the Glass
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
The window wears a soft grey mist that blurs the light outside
Orange lamps go drifting past like lanterns set to glide
You watch them melt to gentle gold, then close your heavy eyes
And I will stay right here with you until the morning sky

[Pre-chorus]
The glass is cool but you are warm beneath the blanket's fold
Every breath you take tonight is safe and slow and slowed
So let the little lights outside just rock you soft to

[Chorus]
Tammy, Tammy, close your eyes and drift away with me
Nothing in this whole wide world could ever love you more, you'll see
The night is only velvet dark, no reason to be clammy
Rest your head and let it go, my darling little Tammy

[Verse 2]
A trail runs down the window pane, so slow it barely moves
Like time itself has slowed right down to match the way you snooze
Streetlights blink their steady glow, a rhythm soft and true
And every single beat of it is only meant for you

[Bridge]
Somewhere past the misted glass the whole wide world sleeps too
Every quiet corner of the dark belongs to you

[Chorus]
Tammy, Tammy, close your eyes and drift away with me
Nothing in this whole wide world could ever love you more, you'll see
The night is only velvet dark, no reason to be clammy
Rest your head and let it go, my darling little Tammy

[Outro]
The window fogs, the lamps burn low, the whole street settles down
And you are held here safe with me, the softest place around
