Soft as the Curtain Falls
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
The lace at the window lifts on a breath of midnight air
and settles back so slowly, as if it hardly cared
but you are held here safer than anything so light
tucked warm beneath the folding of the calm and quiet night

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere a curtain settles, soft against the sill
the whole wide house is breathing, easy, slow and still
and every hush is leaning in to say your name

[Chorus]
Beryl, the night has come to hold you close
it's you the quiet loves the most
sleep now, Beryl, let the dark be kind
peace like this is hard to find

[Verse 2]
No harm can find its way through such a gentle door
the breeze that stirs the lace has walked this room before
it only comes to watch you breathing calm and deep
and leaves you where you're wanted, safe inside your sleep

[Bridge]
Nothing in the dark can touch you here
every shadow's soft, there's nothing you should fear

[Chorus]
Beryl, the night has come to hold you close
it's you the quiet loves the most
sleep now, Beryl, let the dark be kind
peace like this is hard to find

[Outro]
The lace will lift and settle long after you're asleep
and you'll be loved as gently as the night is deep
