The Curtains Drawn
Style: Irish air

[Verse 1]
I pull the velvet curtains tight
and shut the street out for the night
no light gets in, no noise, no news
just me and you and time to lose

[Chorus]
Denise, you're the peace I found
the quiet after every sound
Denise, whatever the day brings
you're still the calm to which I cling

[Verse 2]
The room goes dark, the world steps back
two shapes beneath the same old sack
I don't need windows, don't need skies
I've got the weight of your closed eyes

[Pre-chorus]
Some nights are storms, some nights are still
but you're the one thing that I will
choose again before I sleep

[Chorus]
Denise, you're the peace I found
the quiet after every sound
Denise, whatever the day brings
you're still the calm to which I cling

[Bridge]
No streetlight gets to touch your face
this small dark room's our only place
however long we've had this bed
I'd choose you first, I'd choose you last

[Chorus]
Denise, you're the peace I found
the quiet after every sound
Denise, whatever the day brings
you're still the calm to which I cling

[Outro]
The curtains hold the morning back
a little longer, in the dark
