Feathers on the Chimney
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
Feathers brush the chimney pot so softly overhead
The frost is on the window but the room is warm and still
You are wrapped and you are safe here, tucked inside your little bed
And nothing in the dark tonight can climb this quiet hill

[Chorus]
Hayley, Hayley, close your eyes now, let the night be kind
Every breath you take is gentle, every hour is designed
Just for you to rest and dream here, nothing left behind
Hayley, hush now, drift on softly, love is intertwined

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the glass the feathers settle on the cold grey stone
While the fire below is glowing warm from ember into ash
You are held so close and steady, never once alone
And the whole wide sleeping world outside can never reach so fast

[Pre-chorus]
Let the wind go wandering past the frosted pane
Let your small hands loosen, let the worry drain
There is nothing waiting for you but the dark and warmth again

[Chorus]
Hayley, Hayley, close your eyes now, let the night be kind
Every breath you take is gentle, every hour is designed
Just for you to rest and dream here, nothing left behind
Hayley, hush now, drift on softly, love is intertwined

[Bridge]
Somebody is watching over every breath you make
Somebody will still be near you long before you wake

[Chorus]
Hayley, Hayley, close your eyes now, let the night be kind
Every breath you take is gentle, every hour is designed
Just for you to rest and dream here, nothing left behind
Hayley, hush now, drift on softly, love is intertwined

[Outro]
The feathers settle softly now above the frosted glass
Sleep on, dear one, so gently, let this quiet evening pass
