Curtains Moving Slow
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
Somewhere a curtain lifts on a warm and quiet breath
Softly it settles back before it stirs again
Iron bars hold steady while the lace floats free
You are held here safely, calm as evening rest

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing needs to hurry now, nothing needs to run
Every little sound tonight is turning soft and slow
Close your eyes and drift toward the dark that's calling gently

[Chorus]
Eli, the night is folding warm around your bed
Stars are watching quietly above your sleepy head
Rest here, little one, however long you need
Eli, you are loved so deeply and so clearly

[Verse 2]
Warm air moves the curtain like a hand that means no harm
Shadows on the wall are only shapes that mean you well
Sleep is just a garden where the quiet things grow kind
You can wander through it slowly, nothing chasing you

[Bridge]
However far you drift tonight, you're never far from here
Hold this feeling like a blanket pulled up to your chin

[Chorus]
Eli, the night is folding warm around your bed
Stars are watching quietly above your sleepy head
Rest here, little one, however long you need
Eli, you are loved so deeply and so clearly

[Outro]
Let the curtain sway you gently into dreams tonight
You are safe behind the bars, and morning comes so gently
