Curtains Falling Slow
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
The curtains move so slowly above your wooden cot tonight
Drifting like a breath the moon has kissed with silver light
You are the calm the whole wide house is holding still to keep
Wrapped inside a warmth that carries you along to sleep

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the day go drifting far away
Every little sound grows softer as it fades to grey
Feel how safe you are as darkness gathers gold and deep

[Chorus]
Evan, Evan, hush now, let the quiet in
Nothing in this whole wide night could ever hurt your skin
You are loved beyond the counting, past the stars and back again
Sleep now, little Evan, sleep now, little Evan

[Verse 2]
The window holds the evening like a picture painted slow
Shadows on the wall are dancing gentle, soft and low
You are why this room feels warmer than it did before
Held here safe and steady as the night wraps round the door

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the day go drifting far away
Every little sound grows softer as it fades to grey
Feel how safe you are as darkness gathers gold and deep

[Chorus]
Evan, Evan, hush now, let the quiet in
Nothing in this whole wide night could ever hurt your skin
You are loved beyond the counting, past the stars and back again
Sleep now, little Evan, sleep now, little Evan

[Bridge]
Somewhere past the window the whole wide world is turning slow
But here inside this small warm room there's nowhere else to go
Rest now in the knowing you are cherished, held, and known

[Chorus]
Evan, Evan, hush now, let the quiet in
Nothing in this whole wide night could ever hurt your skin
You are loved beyond the counting, past the stars and back again
Sleep now, little Evan, sleep now, little Evan

[Outro]
The curtains settle softly as the house breathes slow and deep
Sleep now, little Evan, sleep now, sleep now, sleep
