Soft as the Feather Falls
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
A brown feather drifts past the window where you lie
settling on dark moss beneath the open sky
nothing out there moves too fast or feels unkind
this whole night was made to ease your busy mind

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the ticking clock grow soft and slow
feel the warmth beneath the blanket start to grow
close your eyes, there's somewhere gentle you can go

[Chorus]
Connie, the dark is only resting, nothing more
sleep finds you softer than it's found you before
stay here with me where the quiet loves you best
bonny Connie, let the night hold all the rest

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a window's open just a careful inch
letting in air that smells of moss and evening's hush
your breathing slows to match the calm outside the pane
nothing tonight will ask you to be brave again

[Chorus]
Connie, the dark is only resting, nothing more
sleep finds you softer than it's found you before
stay here with me where the quiet loves you best
bonny Connie, let the night hold all the rest

[Bridge]
Wherever you drift off to, I'll still be near
holding this small and quiet corner of the year
you don't need to hold on tight or keep watch too
the whole slow night has only one job: loving you

[Chorus]
Connie, the dark is only resting, nothing more
sleep finds you softer than it's found you before
stay here with me where the quiet loves you best
bonny Connie, let the night hold all the rest

[Outro]
Somewhere that feather still rests soft on darkened moss
you can let go now, there is nothing here to lose
