Cinnamon Tea
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
A little orange dial glows soft on the sideboard tonight
Beside a mug gone cool but still holding its light
You are curled up warm where the shadows agree
Nothing in this room wants anything but peace for thee

[Chorus]
Timothy, Timothy, drift now and rest
Close up your eyes, you are held, you are blessed
Sleep finds you gentle as cinnamon tea
Timothy, sleep is a hymn sung to thee

[Verse 2]
Outside the window the rain keeps its own quiet time
Falling so soft it could pass for a lullaby's rhyme
You breathe out slow and the whole house leans near
Nothing will wake you, there's nothing to fear

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere the piano lets one small note fall
Soft as a hand smoothing over it all
Hold onto sleep now, it's calling you still

[Chorus]
Timothy, Timothy, drift now and rest
Close up your eyes, you are held, you are blessed
Sleep finds you gentle as cinnamon tea
Timothy, sleep is a hymn sung to thee

[Bridge]
Every small light in this room burns for you alone
Watching you settle like something well known
No need to wander, no need to be strong

[Chorus]
Timothy, Timothy, drift now and rest
Close up your eyes, you are held, you are blessed
Sleep finds you gentle as cinnamon tea
Timothy, sleep is a hymn sung to thee

[Outro]
That small orange dial will keep watch till the morning is due
And this whole quiet house will go on loving you
