Feathers on the Windowpane
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
Soft little feathers are brushing against the old bark outside
Somewhere a curtain is swaying so gently and slow
Close your two eyes now and drift where the quiet things hide
You are the warmest thing here that I know

[Chorus]
Delaney, hush now, the dark is only resting
Sleep finds you softer than any rainy sky
Nothing will wake you while these arms are your nesting
Delaney, my whole heart is stitched to your lullaby

[Verse 2]
Down in the branches a small wing folds itself away
Wind through the window comes gentle as your breath
Nobody's leaving and nothing will take you from today
Here in this room you are far from anything like fright

[Pre-chorus]
Feel how the night wraps around you loose and slow
Every small sound outside is only settling to rest
Let your whole body go heavy, there's nowhere else to go

[Chorus]
Delaney, hush now, the dark is only resting
Sleep finds you softer than any rainy sky
Nothing will wake you while these arms are your nesting
Delaney, my whole heart is stitched to your lullaby

[Bridge]
Stay this small forever, just for tonight
Wrapped where nothing sharp can reach you at all

[Chorus]
Delaney, hush now, the dark is only resting
Sleep finds you softer than any rainy sky
Nothing will wake you while these arms are your nesting
Delaney, my whole heart is stitched to your lullaby

[Outro]
Somewhere that feather is still against the bark, unmoving
You are already deep in the dream it was keeping
