White Cotton, Soft Wind
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
White cotton lifts so slowly at the window near your bed
Somewhere a quiet breeze is learning how to sing you down
Your breathing finds the rhythm of the curtain's soft, slow spread
Nothing in this whole wide house can wear away that crown

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the darkness hold you soft and slow
Every worry of the day has somewhere far to go
Feel the hush that's gathering to carry you below

[Chorus]
Dana, sleep is calling gently, like a tide upon the shore
Rest here now, my little Hannah, wrapped in all this love and more
Dana, dreams are waiting for you just beyond that quiet door
You are safe here, always treasured, that has never changed before

[Verse 2]
Moonlight finds the cotton fabric, paints it silver, soft and pale
Underneath these gentle covers, you can let your worries fail
Every star tonight is watching, none will let this warmth grow stale
You're the reason this whole evening feels like such a tender tale

[Chorus]
Dana, sleep is calling gently, like a tide upon the shore
Rest here now, my little Hannah, wrapped in all this love and more
Dana, dreams are waiting for you just beyond that quiet door
You are safe here, always treasured, that has never changed before

[Bridge]
Hold this stillness like a promise nothing here will ever break
No dawn arrives too early for the rest that you will take

[Chorus]
Dana, sleep is calling gently, like a tide upon the shore
Rest here now, my little Hannah, wrapped in all this love and more
Dana, dreams are waiting for you just beyond that quiet door
You are safe here, always treasured, that has never changed before

[Outro]
Somewhere still that white cloth drifts on air both calm and slow
You are held here, always, always, wherever you may go
