Grey Feathers, Falling Slow
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
Grey feathers are settling soft on the old fence post
Down where the frost has silvered every rail and seam
And you are as light and as wanted as the feathers are
Drifting to rest in the hush of this small evening

[Pre-chorus]
The cold stays outside where it cannot reach you here
Everything wild has gone quiet and laid its head down
So let your eyes close, Amir, while the dark turns kind

[Chorus]
Amir, you are held here, warm and unhurried and near
Nothing tonight needs your worry, nothing needs your fear
Sleep is a blanket woven soft, so soft, my dear
Amir, you are loved past the reach of any year

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a branch lets go of one more feather tonight
And it falls without hurry, sure that the ground will hold
You can let go the same way, safe inside this quiet
Nothing you carry tonight is too heavy or too bold

[Chorus]
Amir, you are held here, warm and unhurried and near
Nothing tonight needs your worry, nothing needs your fear
Sleep is a blanket woven soft, so soft, my dear
Amir, you are loved past the reach of any year

[Bridge]
Every small thing settles when the night grows still and slow
The fence, the frost, the feathers, and you, drifting soft and low

[Chorus]
Amir, you are held here, warm and unhurried and near
Nothing tonight needs your worry, nothing needs your fear
Sleep is a blanket woven soft, so soft, my dear
Amir, you are loved past the reach of any year

[Outro]
The fence post holds its feathers till the morning comes round soft
And I will hold you closer than the frost holds on to dawn
