Ada, the Curtains Are Still
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
The lace by the window is barely moving now
Only a breath of night could stir it somehow
Everything past the glass has gone soft and slow
And you are the warmest thing I know how to hold

[Chorus]
Ada, the room is holding its breath for you
Nothing tonight is sharper than it needs to be, Ada
Sleep is only a door that opens later
Close your eyes, love, there is nothing you have to do

[Verse 2]
The white of the cot is glowing soft in the dark
Small enough now to fit in the corner of my arm
Somewhere outside the wind is turning over leaves
But nothing gets past this window while you dream

[Pre-chorus]
I will stay here longer than the candle can burn
Longer than the curtain takes to settle and turn
Watching you drift where the quiet things belong

[Chorus]
Ada, the room is holding its breath for you
Nothing tonight is sharper than it needs to be, Ada
Sleep is only a door that opens later
Close your eyes, love, there is nothing you have to do

[Bridge]
Hush now, the whole house is turning down its light
Every small sound is folding into night

[Chorus]
Ada, the room is holding its breath for you
Nothing tonight is sharper than it needs to be, Ada
Sleep is only a door that opens later
Close your eyes, love, there is nothing you have to do

[Outro]
The lace will still be there when the morning comes in soft
And you will still be loved exactly as you are now
