White Lace, Soft Breath
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
White lace is stirring soft against the painted window glass
and every little breath of wind is drifting on so slow
nothing out there means you harm, not tonight, not ever
I hold you closer than the moon holds up the sky above us

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the curtain breathe and let your eyes grow heavy
there is nowhere in this world that you need be but here
so let the quiet fold around you soft and low

[Chorus]
Doris, the whole wide night is gentle just for you
close your eyes, this small room glows warm and glorious
somewhere a curtain sways like breathing, steady, slow
nothing could touch you here, not Doris, never you

[Verse 2]
Somewhere beyond that window stars are settling into place
and every one of them is watching over you tonight
rest your small hand open like you're holding onto starlight
sleep is only love that's learned to move a little slower

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the curtain breathe and let your eyes grow heavy
there is nowhere in this world that you need be but here
so let the quiet fold around you soft and low

[Chorus]
Doris, the whole wide night is gentle just for you
close your eyes, this small room glows warm and glorious
somewhere a curtain sways like breathing, steady, slow
nothing could touch you here, not Doris, never you

[Bridge]
Wherever you go in dreaming, I'll be waiting when you wake
you are the warmest thing this whole house ever held

[Chorus]
Doris, the whole wide night is gentle just for you
close your eyes, this small room glows warm and glorious
somewhere a curtain sways like breathing, steady, slow
nothing could touch you here, not Doris, never you

[Outro]
Sleep now, while the lace goes on breathing at the glass
you are loved as softly as the dark loves letting go
