Songs for Reggie

Verse 1

Cotton lifts a little where the window meets the night Something in the quiet has gone gold and slow and low You are curled up warmer than the softest thing in sight Nothing in the whole wide world will trouble you, I know

Chorus

Reggie, close your eyes now, let the evening hold you tight Nobody could love a small heart steadier than this Sleep is only kindness wrapped around you for the night Reggie, drift on gently, carried off on one long breath

Verse 2

Glass holds back the darkness like a promise kept till morning Somewhere past the curtain all the stars are settling too Can you feel how nothing here will ever come to harm you Every hush around this room was made to look like you

Pre-chorus

Hear the quiet folding softer round the edges of the room Feel the breath you're taking slow down gentler than before Something warm is waiting just behind the door of dreaming

Chorus

Reggie, close your eyes now, let the evening hold you tight Nobody could love a small heart steadier than this Sleep is only kindness wrapped around you for the night Reggie, drift on gently, carried off on one long breath

Bridge

Whatever waits tomorrow can wait a little longer still Rest here where the fabric barely moves against the pane

Chorus

Reggie, close your eyes now, let the evening hold you tight Nobody could love a small heart steadier than this Sleep is only kindness wrapped around you for the night Reggie, drift on gently, carried off on one long breath

Outro

Cotton settles softly where the window meets the dark You are held as gently as the quiet holds the night

Verse 1

Tiny drops are sliding slowly down the window glass tonight Past the warm metal frame that keeps the cold outside from you Everything beyond the pane is dimming out of sight But you are held here safely, wrapped in everything that's true

Pre-chorus

Let the hush of evening settle soft around your head Nothing out there needs an answer, nothing needs your eyes Close them now, my darling, sleep is calling from the bed

Chorus

Reggie, Reggie, rest your head and let the night grow still You are warmer than the window, safer than the frame Nothing in this quiet room could ever wish you ill Reggie, sleep now, you are loved, and love will say your name

Verse 2

Somewhere out beyond the glass the wind is turning slow and grey But it cannot reach you here, it cannot touch your rest Every drop that slides on down is carried far away While you stay curled up warm against the ones who love you best

Pre-chorus

Let the hush of evening settle soft around your head Nothing out there needs an answer, nothing needs your eyes Close them now, my darling, sleep is calling from the bed

Chorus

Reggie, Reggie, rest your head and let the night grow still You are warmer than the window, safer than the frame Nothing in this quiet room could ever wish you ill Reggie, sleep now, you are loved, and love will say your name

Bridge

Rain will always find its way down every pane of glass But you were never meant to chase the cold or fight the dark You only need to breathe out slow and let the evening pass

Chorus

Reggie, Reggie, rest your head and let the night grow still You are warmer than the window, safer than the frame Nothing in this quiet room could ever wish you ill Reggie, sleep now, you are loved, and love will say your name

Outro

The drops have slowed to nothing on the warm and quiet frame Sleep well now, little Reggie, love will still be here the same

Verse 1

A yellow square of light falls softly on the wooden floor it waits there like it's holding on until you're home once more the whole day settles down and folds its edges in to rest and you, my darling Reggie, are the part I love the best

Pre-chorus

The house breathes slow around you as the corners fade to grey the light begins to shrink and slip in its unhurried way so let your shoulders soften now, there's nowhere left to be

Chorus

Reggie, Reggie, close your eyes, the dark is soft and kind let every worry of the day stay somewhere far behind you are held here safely, wrapped in warmth that will not fade my Reggie, you are loved right through this quiet that we've made

Verse 2

That square of light will still be there when morning comes around it never truly leaves us, only rests along the ground and like that patient glow that keeps returning, soft and true this love of mine stays with you, steady, waiting to hold you

Pre-chorus

The house breathes slow around you as the corners fade to grey the light begins to shrink and slip in its unhurried way so let your shoulders soften now, there's nowhere left to be

Chorus

Reggie, Reggie, close your eyes, the dark is soft and kind let every worry of the day stay somewhere far behind you are held here safely, wrapped in warmth that will not fade my Reggie, you are loved right through this quiet that we've made

Bridge

Sleep now, and let the night be gentle, let it hum you low nothing in this room will wake or worry you, I know you're the calmest, sweetest weight against this softly breathing home

Chorus

Reggie, Reggie, close your eyes, the dark is soft and kind let every worry of the day stay somewhere far behind you are held here safely, wrapped in warmth that will not fade my Reggie, you are loved right through this quiet that we've made

The square of light has gone to sleep along the wooden floor and you, my Reggie, rest the same, held safe till morning's door
