Thin Linen Lullaby
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
The thin linen lifts and falls across the wide wooden floor
Midnight breathes so softly through the window by your bed
You are held here safer than you've ever been before
Every quiet corner of this house holds you instead

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the whole night is turning slow and low
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever let you fall
Close your eyes and feel how gently the hours go

[Chorus]
Dottie, the night is only wrapping you up tight
Sleep finds you soft as linen moving in the air
Nothing can touch you, Dottie, not tonight
You are the one thing kept most carefully in my care

[Verse 2]
The floorboards hold their stillness while the curtain starts to sway
Somewhere beyond the window the whole wide world slows down
You do not need to carry one worry into day
You are the softest, safest thing in this small town

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the whole night is turning slow and low
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever let you fall
Close your eyes and feel how gently the hours go

[Chorus]
Dottie, the night is only wrapping you up tight
Sleep finds you soft as linen moving in the air
Nothing can touch you, Dottie, not tonight
You are the one thing kept most carefully in my care

[Bridge]
Let every breath you take grow longer, slower, deep
Nothing tonight will ask you to be anything but you

[Chorus]
Dottie, the night is only wrapping you up tight
Sleep finds you soft as linen moving in the air
Nothing can touch you, Dottie, not tonight
You are the one thing kept most carefully in my care

[Outro]
The linen settles still against the wide wooden floor
Sleep well, you are so loved, and so much more
