Soft Wings, Still Night
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
Somewhere past the glass a quiet wing is folding down to rest
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever come to find you
All the small brown feathers settle soft against the sill
Sleep is only kindness wrapped in shadow laid behind you

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the house grow warm and slow around you
Every little sound outside is just the night saying goodnight
Nothing has to happen now except the breathing

[Chorus]
Atlas, the whole wide world can wait until the morning
Rest here where the quiet holds you close and safe at last
Nobody needs you to be anything but sleepy
Atlas, this small warm bed is yours, it's yours to hold you fast

[Verse 2]
The owl outside is watching over branches, not the window
Guarding nothing but the calm that settles once you're under
You are held by every soft thing gathered in this room tonight
Wrapped in blankets thick enough to keep away the thunder

[Chorus]
Atlas, the whole wide world can wait until the morning
Rest here where the quiet holds you close and safe at last
Nobody needs you to be anything but sleepy
Atlas, this small warm bed is yours, it's yours to hold you fast

[Bridge]
However far the night stretches out beyond this room
You are the one thing certain, the one I'm watching over

[Chorus]
Atlas, the whole wide world can wait until the morning
Rest here where the quiet holds you close and safe at last
Nobody needs you to be anything but sleepy
Atlas, this small warm bed is yours, it's yours to hold you fast

[Outro]
Somewhere the owl folds its wings and settles into stillness
Sleep now, Atlas, you are already so loved, so safe, so still
