Dark Feathers, Soft Night
Style: Glockenspiel

[Verse 1]
Dark feathers brush the brick where the chimney stands so still
Quiet settles soft across the far and sleeping hill
You are wrapped in warmth beneath this old and gentle roof
Nothing in the shadows here will ever ask for proof

[Pre-chorus]
Listen how the wind goes hush around the sleeping eaves
Nothing but the calm tonight moves through the darkened leaves
So close your eyes, my love, and drift where the quiet leads

[Chorus]
Gracie, the night is holding you so gently in its hand
Softer than the feathers drifting slowly to the land
Gracie, you are safe here while the whole wide world stays still
Sleep now, little Gracie, on this warm and quiet hill

[Verse 2]
Somewhere up above the roof a shadow folds its wing
Down below the room stays warm with every breath you bring
You don't need to know the dark to know that you are held
Every worry of the day has softly now dispelled

[Chorus]
Gracie, the night is holding you so gently in its hand
Softer than the feathers drifting slowly to the land
Gracie, you are safe here while the whole wide world stays still
Sleep now, little Gracie, on this warm and quiet hill

[Bridge]
Rest your head where all the soft light gathers low
Let the hours pass you gently, easy, slow

[Chorus]
Gracie, the night is holding you so gently in its hand
Softer than the feathers drifting slowly to the land
Gracie, you are safe here while the whole wide world stays still
Sleep now, little Gracie, on this warm and quiet hill

[Outro]
Somewhere on the chimney still a feather rests its wing
You are held as softly now as any sleeping thing
