White Lace, Still Air
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
The white lace curtain trembles soft against the glass tonight
Above the woolen blanket where your breathing starts to slow
Nothing in this room will ever give you cause for fright
I am here to keep you warm and watch the candle glow

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, the dark is only velvet pulled in tight
Every little sound out there is far away and small
Let the hush come drifting in and carry you toward night

[Chorus]
Aria, the whole wide house is holding still for you
Nothing here will ever let a single shadow through
Aria, my love for you is steady, deep and true
There is nothing in this world I wouldn't do for you

[Verse 2]
The window glass holds nothing but a sky of gentle grey
Somewhere far beyond the lace the stars are settling too
You don't need to keep them close, you don't need to stay awake
Rest is just another way that I take care of you

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes, the dark is only velvet pulled in tight
Every little sound out there is far away and small
Let the hush come drifting in and carry you toward night

[Chorus]
Aria, the whole wide house is holding still for you
Nothing here will ever let a single shadow through
Aria, my love for you is steady, deep and true
There is nothing in this world I wouldn't do for you

[Bridge]
Sleep will hold you gentler than my arms ever could
Sleep will keep you safer than a house of stone and wood

[Chorus]
Aria, the whole wide house is holding still for you
Nothing here will ever let a single shadow through
Aria, my love for you is steady, deep and true
There is nothing in this world I wouldn't do for you

[Outro]
The lace has stopped its trembling now, the glass has gone quite still
Sleep on beneath the woolen warmth, and know you always will
