Rain on the Brass Latch
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
The rain slides slow down the glass beside your bed
Past the brass latch glowing warm and softly lit
Nothing out there can find its way to you
Only the hush the quiet dark has spread

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the whole house grow still
Let the drops on the window carry you further
Down into sleep where nothing needs to be

[Chorus]
Ximena, the night is holding you gentle and slow
Nothing can touch you, nothing needs to know
Sleep is a river and you're drifting free
Ximena, deeper than dreaming, softer than snow

[Verse 2]
The latch keeps its shine while the whole room dims
Warm little door that holds the cold outside
You don't have to open your eyes again tonight
Just rest inside the calm that this house gives

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the whole house grow still
Let the drops on the window carry you further
Down into sleep where nothing needs to be

[Chorus]
Ximena, the night is holding you gentle and slow
Nothing can touch you, nothing needs to know
Sleep is a river and you're drifting free
Ximena, deeper than dreaming, softer than snow

[Bridge]
Somewhere the rain keeps falling soft and slow
Somewhere you're already halfway into dreaming

[Chorus]
Ximena, the night is holding you gentle and slow
Nothing can touch you, nothing needs to know
Sleep is a river and you're drifting free
Ximena, deeper than dreaming, softer than snow

[Outro]
The glass stays quiet, the brass latch holds its glow
Sleep now, Ximena, there's nowhere else to go
