Nearer Than the Night
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
Behind the curtain the glass is breathing slow and grey
Little drops are sliding down in no hurry to stray
Outside the wind is turning over fields and trees
Nothing out there can touch you where you lay

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the hush come nearer
Every breath you take is drawing you dearer
So let the whole wide dark grow softer now

[Chorus]
Vera, hush now, let the night grow clearer
Sleep is only morning waiting nearer
Wrapped up warm while stars keep watch above
You are held, Vera, closer and dearer

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the velvet the cold is climbing the pane
Quietly it gathers like a soft forgotten rain
Here inside the room stays golden, round and low
You have nothing in this warmth to explain

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the hush come nearer
Every breath you take is drawing you dearer
So let the whole wide dark grow softer now

[Chorus]
Vera, hush now, let the night grow clearer
Sleep is only morning waiting nearer
Wrapped up warm while stars keep watch above
You are held, Vera, closer and dearer

[Bridge]
Let every worry melt away like fog upon the glass
Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to pass
You are safe as candlelight held steady in a jar

[Chorus]
Vera, hush now, let the night grow clearer
Sleep is only morning waiting nearer
Wrapped up warm while stars keep watch above
You are held, Vera, closer and dearer

[Outro]
Somewhere the glass still wears its slow and silver trace
Sleep now, you are held in the softest place
