Curtain Slow
Style: Fingerpicked night

[Verse 1]
A curtain lifts and settles by the window near your bed
Soft as breathing, soft as everything that's left unsaid
You are curled up warm beneath the blankets, safe and still
Nothing in this room tonight can touch you or can chill

[Pre-chorus]
Outside the air is moving but it never comes too close
The dark is only resting, not a shadow, not a ghost
So let your eyes grow heavy as the quiet starts to grow

[Chorus]
Gerald, the night is holding you the way it holds a star
Soft as an emerald glowing wherever you are
Nothing can find you, nothing can pull you from this rest
Gerald, you are the sweetest thing that this house has ever blessed

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a breeze is drifting through the little gap of light
Carrying no worry, only stillness through the night
You don't need to listen, you don't need to understand
Only rest your head and know that you are safely planned

[Pre-chorus]
Outside the air is moving but it never comes too close
The dark is only resting, not a shadow, not a ghost
So let your eyes grow heavy as the quiet starts to grow

[Chorus]
Gerald, the night is holding you the way it holds a star
Soft as an emerald glowing wherever you are
Nothing can find you, nothing can pull you from this rest
Gerald, you are the sweetest thing that this house has ever blessed

[Bridge]
Sleep now, and let the small world turn without you for a while
Wrapped in a hush that only knows to keep you and beguile

[Chorus]
Gerald, the night is holding you the way it holds a star
Soft as an emerald glowing wherever you are
Nothing can find you, nothing can pull you from this rest
Gerald, you are the sweetest thing that this house has ever blessed

[Outro]
The curtain settles softly now, its gentle drifting done
Sleep well, dear Gerald, you are loved by everyone
