White Lace, Soft Light
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
The lace at the window breathes in and then out slow
carried by a wind too soft and small to ever know
it drifts past the bars where you are curled up tight
and everything around you folds in warm tonight

[Pre-chorus]
The room holds its breath the way that rooms will do
when something small and precious is sleeping safe and true
so let the hush wrap round you and pull you gently in

[Chorus]
Camille, the night has come to keep you, not to steal
you are the softest thing this quiet could reveal
sleep now and let the dark be nothing sharp or real
Camille, you are the calm this whole wide house can feel

[Verse 2]
The wooden bars stand watch though they never say a word
holding back the dark so nothing in it can be heard
and the curtain sways again like it is rocking too
keeping easy time with the breath that moves through you

[Chorus]
Camille, the night has come to keep you, not to steal
you are the softest thing this quiet could reveal
sleep now and let the dark be nothing sharp or real
Camille, you are the calm this whole wide house can feel

[Bridge]
No need to hold on tight to anything at all
let your small hands open soft and let the evening fall
there is nothing out there bigger than this gentle room

[Chorus]
Camille, the night has come to keep you, not to steal
you are the softest thing this quiet could reveal
sleep now and let the dark be nothing sharp or real
Camille, you are the calm this whole wide house can feel

[Outro]
The lace will keep on breathing long after you have gone to rest
and you will still be held here, still the safest and the best
