Behind the Woolen Curtain
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
Raindrops are tracing their way down the frosted glass tonight
hidden behind the curtain where the candle keeps its light
out there the wind is combing through the bare and sleepy trees
but nothing cold can reach you here, so rest and take your ease

[Pre-chorus]
The wool hangs heavy, keeping every draught outside the room
the whole wide night is turning slow beneath a quiet moon
and you are safe as anything while sleep comes rolling in

[Chorus]
Hannah, the dark is only velvet pulled across the pane
Hannah, you're warmer than a hundred summers after rain
nothing can touch you, nothing can reach where you softly lie
sleep now, my Hannah, underneath this gentle sky

[Verse 2]
Somewhere the droplets slide together, joining as they fall
learning the shape of that small window like they know it all
but you don't need to watch them, you can let your eyelids close
the whole room hums the hush that any good night knows

[Chorus]
Hannah, the dark is only velvet pulled across the pane
Hannah, you're warmer than a hundred summers after rain
nothing can touch you, nothing can reach where you softly lie
sleep now, my Hannah, underneath this gentle sky

[Bridge]
Let the cold stay out there tapping, let it wander on alone
you are held in something steadier, something like a home

[Chorus]
Hannah, the dark is only velvet pulled across the pane
Hannah, you're warmer than a hundred summers after rain
nothing can touch you, nothing can reach where you softly lie
sleep now, my Hannah, underneath this gentle sky

[Outro]
The window keeps its quiet watch while you dream on unseen
and the curtain holds the whole night back so soft and green
