Curtains in the Dark
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
Far off metal wheels are clacking soft along the tracks tonight
Curtains sway a little dance where the window meets the dark
Every sound out there is turning gentle in the fading light
Nothing in this whole wide world can ever dim your spark

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the distant train sing you further into rest
Let the swaying curtain fold you into shadow soft and slow
Close your eyes, you're held so close, you're safe here, you're the best

[Chorus]
Constance, the night is holding you gently in its hand
Nothing out there in the dark can ever touch your chance
Sleep now, my Constance, safe as anyone can stand
Constance, you are steady as the softest slowest dance

[Verse 2]
The tracks run on for miles but they can't carry you away
Only lull you deeper into dreaming, calm and slow
The curtain breathes beside you like it's guarding where you lay
There is nowhere safer for you, and nowhere else to go

[Bridge]
Every clack that fades to nothing leaves the room more still
Every breath you take is soft as moonlight on the sill

[Chorus]
Constance, the night is holding you gently in its hand
Nothing out there in the dark can ever touch your chance
Sleep now, my Constance, safe as anyone can stand
Constance, you are steady as the softest slowest dance

[Outro]
Somewhere far the tracks go quiet and the curtain settles still
You are held here, always, gently, you are loved and you always will
