Moonlight Crosses the Floor
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
White cotton muslin hangs still on the wooden frame tonight
Waiting to catch you soft in its fold of gentle light
Moonlight crosses the floor in a slow and silver line
Finding your small warm hand and folding it into mine

[Pre-chorus]
Every breath you take is a wave upon the shore
Every hush I sing is a door closing soft and sure
And the dark outside is only the calm before

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Cecil, the whole wide night is holding you
Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will deceive you
Close your eyes, Cecil, let the quiet carry you home
You are so deeply loved you never sleep alone

[Verse 2]
The wooden frame stands steady while the house breathes slow around you
Every corner of this room was built to be a home for you
No shadow here has ever learned a single way to harm you
Only soft light drifting down to settle warm upon you

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Cecil, the whole wide night is holding you
Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will deceive you
Close your eyes, Cecil, let the quiet carry you home
You are so deeply loved you never sleep alone

[Bridge]
Rest easy now, there is nowhere else you need to be
Just this warmth, just this hush, just you held close to me

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Cecil, the whole wide night is holding you
Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will deceive you
Close your eyes, Cecil, let the quiet carry you home
You are so deeply loved you never sleep alone

[Outro]
The muslin sways so gently on the wooden frame once more
While moonlight keeps on crossing, soft, across the floor
