Curtain in the Dark
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
Watch how softly the linen curtain leans upon the air tonight
Something in that quiet motion feels as calm as candlelight
Nothing in this room will ever come to trouble your small head
Sleep is closer now than any worry you could carry, love

[Pre-chorus]
Every breath you take is folding slower into rest
Feel the hush that gathers gently, settling on your chest
So let the dark come nearer, it was always on your side

[Chorus]
Carys, hush now, let the night breathe soft and low around you
Nothing in this shadowed room was ever built to harm or hound you
Somewhere far past Paris, further still than any moon can travel
Carys, you are held here safe, however far the dark surrounds you

[Verse 2]
Draughts that stir the curtain never mean to wake a soul
Just a small and steady breathing, keeping this whole room in hold
Every fold of fabric moving mirrors how your chest will rise
Rest inside this gentle rhythm till the morning light arrives

[Chorus]
Carys, hush now, let the night breathe soft and low around you
Nothing in this shadowed room was ever built to harm or hound you
Somewhere far past Paris, further still than any moon can travel
Carys, you are held here safe, however far the dark surrounds you

[Bridge]
No harm will ever harass you while these walls stand watching near
Sleep can carry you as gently as a tide without a fear

[Chorus]
Carys, hush now, let the night breathe soft and low around you
Nothing in this shadowed room was ever built to harm or hound you
Somewhere far past Paris, further still than any moon can travel
Carys, you are held here safe, however far the dark surrounds you

[Outro]
Let the curtain sway you gently into somewhere soft and slow
You are loved as surely as the quiet dark will always know
