Pale Flakes, Soft Light
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
Pale flakes are melting soft against the black glass tonight
Streetlamps throw shadows long and gentle, easy and slight
You are the warmest thing in all this quiet, cold air
Nothing can touch you now, safe in my arms, resting there

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the hush come rolling in slow
Every worry of the day can simply let go
And drift with me where the soft dark starts to grow

[Chorus]
Teresa, sleep now, the whole night is holding you near
Nothing can shake you, there's nothing at all here to fear
Like snow at the window that falls slow and light
You are so loved, Teresa, wrapped up safe tonight

[Verse 2]
The lamplight outside just glows amber and low and still
Nothing out there can reach you, nor ever it will
You breathe soft and even, tucked warm beneath the sheet
While the whole sleepy street settles down at your feet

[Bridge]
Let the hush wrap around you like a blanket of grey
Morning will come, but for now, just drift away

[Chorus]
Teresa, sleep now, the whole night is holding you near
Nothing can shake you, there's nothing at all here to fear
Like snow at the window that falls slow and light
You are so loved, Teresa, wrapped up safe tonight

[Outro]
The flakes keep on falling, so quiet against the glass
Sleep now, my dear one, let the whole night gently pass
