Empty Palm
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
The lamp burns low and gold above your pillow now
My hand rests on the chair where you were leaning
Your breathing slows to match the creak of woven cane
There's nothing in this hour that needs explaining

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes before the last page turns to grey
Let every worry drift like paper on a stream
Hold still, my darling, we are almost to the dream

[Chorus]
Winnie, Winnie, sleep is calling soft and slow
Nobody could love you more than I do
Rest your small head where the lamplight barely glows
Winnie, I will still be here beside you

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window all the stars are settling in
Your small hand has slipped from mine but stays in reach
Even in the dark you're never far from where I sit
Sleep will carry you further than my speech

[Chorus]
Winnie, Winnie, sleep is calling soft and slow
Nobody could love you more than I do
Rest your small head where the lamplight barely glows
Winnie, I will still be here beside you

[Bridge]
Let the chair creak once more beneath this quiet weight of love
Every hush tonight was made for you alone

[Chorus]
Winnie, Winnie, sleep is calling soft and slow
Nobody could love you more than I do
Rest your small head where the lamplight barely glows
Winnie, I will still be here beside you

[Outro]
The lamp will dim but never leave you in the dark
Sleep now, Winnie, safe within this quiet spark
