Curtain Light
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
Outside your window a lamp burns low and gold
Softly the curtain lifts and folds as the night grows old
Nothing can reach you, nothing can pull you from here
Sleep is the safest place and I am keeping it near

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the dark is only a blanket pulled thin
Nothing will wake you, nothing will trouble the room you're in
Let your small breathing slow till the quiet folds you in

[Chorus]
Amelia, close your eyes, the night is on your side
Warm as a hand held gently, wide as the sky outside
Sleep like the curtain swaying, easy and slow and free
Amelia, you are held here, safe as you'll ever be

[Verse 2]
Every small shadow tonight is only your own
Cast soft and kind by a light that watches you alone
You don't need to listen for footsteps or for sound
Only the hush of the house settling gently around

[Chorus]
Amelia, close your eyes, the night is on your side
Warm as a hand held gently, wide as the sky outside
Sleep like the curtain swaying, easy and slow and free
Amelia, you are held here, safe as you'll ever be

[Bridge]
Let the glow outside keep watch till morning comes
Rest is a quiet river and you are riding on

[Chorus]
Amelia, close your eyes, the night is on your side
Warm as a hand held gently, wide as the sky outside
Sleep like the curtain swaying, easy and slow and free
Amelia, you are held here, safe as you'll ever be

[Outro]
Sleep now, the curtain sways soft in the streetlamp's glow
Dream on, Amelia, gentle and slow
