The Curtain Breathes Slow
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
The lace curtain lifts soft across the wooden floor tonight
and moonlight comes to lay itself down warm and white
the whole room settles into quiet like a held breath
you are the reason everything in here feels right

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Bruce, the night has drawn in close and kind
hush now, Bruce, there is nothing left to find
just this room, this light, this slow and gentle truce
every worry loosens when I think of you, Bruce

[Verse 2]
The breeze comes soft and never once disturbs your rest
it only moves the curtain like a slow caress
you are held here safer than a secret kept for years
nothing in this whole wide dark could touch your chest

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere past the window the whole night is turning still
every star is holding steady, waiting on your will
and my heart keeps time with yours until

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Bruce, the night has drawn in close and kind
hush now, Bruce, there is nothing left to find
just this room, this light, this slow and gentle truce
every worry loosens when I think of you, Bruce

[Bridge]
Let the moon keep watch while your small hands finally rest
let the dark be gentle, let it do its very best
you are loved beyond the measure of a single quiet room

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Bruce, the night has drawn in close and kind
hush now, Bruce, there is nothing left to find
just this room, this light, this slow and gentle truce
every worry loosens when I think of you, Bruce

[Outro]
The curtain settles gently as the moonlight starts to fade
rest now in the quiet that our love has always made
