Striped Curtain, Slow Breath
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
Watch the striped cotton lift so slowly by the frame
Soft as a hand that only means to soothe
Nothing tonight will ever call your name
There's only quiet here for you to move through

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the room is holding you so gently
Every small breath is carried safe and slow
Close your eyes as the light begins to lean in

[Chorus]
Craig, the night has folded soft around you
Sleep is a tide that only wants to stay
Nothing can touch you here, my quiet Craig
You are the warmest thing the dark can weigh

[Verse 2]
Feel how the fabric barely stirs against the glass
Like breathing that has learned to take its time
You are held here longer than this moment lasts
Wrapped in a stillness only you can find

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the room is holding you so gently
Every small breath is carried safe and slow
Close your eyes as the light begins to lean in

[Chorus]
Craig, the night has folded soft around you
Sleep is a tide that only wants to stay
Nothing can touch you here, my quiet Craig
You are the warmest thing the dark can weigh

[Bridge]
Rest now, let the small world fade to grey
There is nowhere safer than right where you lay

[Chorus]
Craig, the night has folded soft around you
Sleep is a tide that only wants to stay
Nothing can touch you here, my quiet Craig
You are the warmest thing the dark can weigh

[Outro]
Somewhere the curtain still lifts and settles slow
You are already drifting where you need to go
