Curtains Soft as Breath
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
The thin white curtains lift and settle soft against the glass tonight
Breathing slow with the hush of a house that finally lets you rest
You are held here safer than a candle sheltered from the wind's light
This whole quiet room was built to hold you gently to my chest

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Dan, the dark is only kindness dressed in grey
Close your eyes, Dan, and let the whole wide world just drift away
Nothing here can reach you, nothing here can lead you far astray
You are loved beyond the counting of a single, endless day

[Verse 2]
The window breathes in time with every rise and fall you make
Soft as curtains swaying gently over dreams you're drifting through
Nothing in this room will stir enough to make you wake
Only love keeping watch here quietly beside you

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere past the glass the night is settling low and slow
Wrapping round this little room with all the peace it owns
And still I feel this fondness for you only grow

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Dan, the dark is only kindness dressed in grey
Close your eyes, Dan, and let the whole wide world just drift away
Nothing here can reach you, nothing here can lead you far astray
You are loved beyond the counting of a single, endless day

[Bridge]
Let the soft night carry all your worries out of sight
You are cradled, you are certain, you are held here warm and tight

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Dan, the dark is only kindness dressed in grey
Close your eyes, Dan, and let the whole wide world just drift away
Nothing here can reach you, nothing here can lead you far astray
You are loved beyond the counting of a single, endless day

[Outro]
The curtains settle still now, softly guarding where you lie
Sleep on, Dan, held safe here beneath a calm and steady sky
