Lace and Moonlight
Style: Music box

[Verse 1]
Lace curtains breathe against the glass while you drift down to rest
Moonlight walks in slow across the floor to find your face
Nothing in this room will stir you, nothing dares intrude
You are held here safe and quiet in this gentle place

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the hours grow soft and small around you
Every shadow in this room has turned to kind and calm
Close your eyes and let the night come gather you in close

[Chorus]
Eileen, the whole wide dark leans down to keep you warm
Somewhere past the window, stars are folding into sleep
Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will harm
Eileen, you are the calm this quiet house will keep

[Verse 2]
Somewhere far beyond this glass the wind has settled too
Everything that moves tonight moves slow because of you
Even light has learned to fall so gently on this floor
You could sleep for years and still be cradled safe and true

[Chorus]
Eileen, the whole wide dark leans down to keep you warm
Somewhere past the window, stars are folding into sleep
Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will harm
Eileen, you are the calm this quiet house will keep

[Bridge]
Rest your small hands, let the night take over now
You are loved so quietly, so deeply, so complete

[Chorus]
Eileen, the whole wide dark leans down to keep you warm
Somewhere past the window, stars are folding into sleep
Nothing here will wake you, nothing here will harm
Eileen, you are the calm this quiet house will keep

[Outro]
Sleep now while the lace goes still against the pane
You are held here always, long after the light has gone
