Lace Against the Glass
Style: Rain and piano

[Verse 1]
The curtain lifts and settles like it's breathing with the room
and the cold glass holds the starlight while the dark begins to bloom
your striped blanket knows the shape of every curl you make
you are the softest reason that this whole house stays awake

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the lace fall still against the frosted pane
let the wind outside go wandering, it won't come in again
there's a warmth here only you could ever bring

[Chorus]
Winnie, the night has room for nothing else but you
sleep is just the softest thing that loves you through and through
however far the dark goes on, however far it spreads
you're the one good thing it's keeping safe above your head

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window frost is drawing patterns thin and slow
but under all this stripy warmth you're glowing like an ember's glow
every little breath you take goes rising like a prayer
and it tells this whole quiet house exactly who is there

[Chorus]
Winnie, the night has room for nothing else but you
sleep is just the softest thing that loves you through and through
however far the dark goes on, however far it spreads
you're the one good thing it's keeping safe above your head

[Bridge]
Let the cold stay out beyond the glass where it belongs
you were never meant to hear the wind's uncertain songs
only ever meant for warmth, for blankets soft and thin

[Chorus]
Winnie, the night has room for nothing else but you
sleep is just the softest thing that loves you through and through
however far the dark goes on, however far it spreads
you're the one good thing it's keeping safe above your head

[Outro]
The lace will keep on drifting soft against the frozen pane
and you'll be sleeping warmer than the whole wide world again
