Curtains Breathing Slow
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
Thin white curtains lift and settle like they're breathing with the dark
Out beyond the glass the lamps are waking one by one
You are curled up warm and certain, safe inside this quiet spark
Nothing in the whole wide night can catch you now or come undone

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the evening close its hand around this room
Every worry of the daylight folds itself away
Close your eyes, the dark is gentle, gentle as it comes

[Chorus]
Callum, Callum, hear the quiet calling soft and low
Nothing waits outside these curtains but a peaceful glow
Sleep is coming closer, slower than a small drum's beat
Callum, you are held here, warm from head to feet

[Verse 2]
The light outside goes amber, then it settles into blue
Somewhere far a window closes, somewhere near you sigh
You don't need to know the answers, only that I'm here with you
Only that the night was always softer than the sky

[Chorus]
Callum, Callum, hear the quiet calling soft and low
Nothing waits outside these curtains but a peaceful glow
Sleep is coming closer, slower than a small drum's beat
Callum, you are held here, warm from head to feet

[Bridge]
No need to watch the lamplight or the shapes it makes and leaves
Rest is only love that's learned to breathe

[Chorus]
Callum, Callum, hear the quiet calling soft and low
Nothing waits outside these curtains but a peaceful glow
Sleep is coming closer, slower than a small drum's beat
Callum, you are held here, warm from head to feet

[Outro]
The curtains settle still now, and the lamps burn soft and low
Sleep well, you are so loved, and it will still be so
