Soft as the Curtain Falls
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
The dark cotton lifts so softly at the sill tonight
stirred by a breeze too gentle to bring any fright
everything in this small room is settled and still
you are the warmest thing beside that windowsill

[Pre-chorus]
Let your breathing slow to match the curtain's sway
feel the whole wide house grow quiet and grey
close your eyes now, there is nowhere else to be

[Chorus]
Hamish, the night is holding you so near
every soft shadow only draws you dear
Hamish, sleep is coming warm and slow
rest inside the calm that only you would know

[Verse 2]
The fabric barely moves now, the breeze has grown thin
peace has found its way to settle deep within
nothing needs an answer, nothing needs a sound
you are wrapped in stillness, safe and sound

[Pre-chorus]
Let your breathing slow to match the curtain's sway
feel the whole wide house grow quiet and grey
close your eyes now, there is nowhere else to be

[Chorus]
Hamish, the night is holding you so near
every soft shadow only draws you dear
Hamish, sleep is coming warm and slow
rest inside the calm that only you would know

[Bridge]
However far the dark stretches beyond that pane
you are held here gently, again and again
nothing tonight could ever pull you from this care

[Chorus]
Hamish, the night is holding you so near
every soft shadow only draws you dear
Hamish, sleep is coming warm and slow
rest inside the calm that only you would know

[Outro]
The cotton settles softly, still against the frame
and sleep folds round you gently, whispering your name
