Soft as Cotton
Style: Celesta and strings

[Verse 1]
Somewhere past the glass the night is settling soft and slow
White cotton drifts and turns where the cool pane meets the shadow
Nothing out there needs your worry, nothing needs your care
You can let your small hands still and let the day just go

[Chorus]
Gracie, close your eyes and let the dark be kind and warm
Nothing in this room has ever meant to bring you harm
Every breath you take tonight is safe here in this space
Gracie, you are held before the morning starts to form

[Verse 2]
Watch the pale curtain sway so gently by the window sill
Nobody is asking you to move or to be still
You are wrapped in something softer than the fabric ever was
Sleep can find you now however slowly if it will

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the quiet fold around you like a sheet
Every worry from the daylight has no reason left to keep
Close your eyes, my love is staying right here while you sleep

[Chorus]
Gracie, close your eyes and let the dark be kind and warm
Nothing in this room has ever meant to bring you harm
Every breath you take tonight is safe here in this space
Gracie, you are held before the morning starts to form

[Bridge]
Drift now like the fabric drifting slow against the pane
Nothing here will hurry you or call you back again

[Chorus]
Gracie, close your eyes and let the dark be kind and warm
Nothing in this room has ever meant to bring you harm
Every breath you take tonight is safe here in this space
Gracie, you are held before the morning starts to form

[Outro]
Sleep now while the white cloth settles soft against the glass
Rest here, little one, and let the whole night gently pass
