Still as the Curtain
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
Rain slips quiet down the window while the whole room settles still
Nothing moves but tiny droplets tracing paths along the pane
Curtains hold their breath beside you, calm as hands that mean no harm
Close your eyes now, little Erica, there is nothing here to strain

[Pre-chorus]
Every drop that slides is gentle, every shadow soft and slow
Warmth is folded round you tightly where the lamplight starts to glow
Let the hush pull you in closer, let your breathing find its flow

[Chorus]
Erica, the night is holding you the way it always will
Nothing here can reach you, nothing here can do you harm
Sleep is only quiet water, sleep is only lying still
Erica, you're safe inside this warm and windless calm

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the glass the streetlights blur to soft and gold and round
Not a single leaf is turning, not a single stirring sound
You are heavier than dreaming, sinking gently to the ground
Rest is just a door that opens, easy, without any bound

[Bridge]
Whatever moved today has settled, folded now and put away
Only breathing left between us, only breathing till the day

[Chorus]
Erica, the night is holding you the way it always will
Nothing here can reach you, nothing here can do you harm
Sleep is only quiet water, sleep is only lying still
Erica, you're safe inside this warm and windless calm

[Outro]
Somewhere still the rain keeps sliding, slow and steady down the glass
Sleep now, Erica, so gently, let this quiet always last
