Grey Feathers, Soft and Slow
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
Grey feathers settle soft on the cold and quiet gutter tonight
Clouds are folding low, tucking the whole sky into rest
Nothing out there needs you awake to make it right
Sleep is already spreading warm across your chest

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere a wing has stopped its long and weary flying
Somewhere the world has hushed to hold its breath
Close your eyes now, past all the trying

[Chorus]
Ian, the night is wrapping soft around you like a coat
Hush now, nothing out there needs to climb or fight or try
You are the warmest thing this quiet dark can hold
Ian, sleep is close as breathing, gentle as a sigh

[Verse 2]
Underneath the clouded dark, small things are held and known
Not a single feather falls unwatched or far from care
Rest here safe, you never sleep alone
Somebody's love is folded soft into the air

[Chorus]
Ian, the night is wrapping soft around you like a coat
Hush now, nothing out there needs to climb or fight or try
You are the warmest thing this quiet dark can hold
Ian, sleep is close as breathing, gentle as a sigh

[Bridge]
Let the grey sky keep its quiet, let the cold wind roam
You are held inside the warmest, softest home

[Chorus]
Ian, the night is wrapping soft around you like a coat
Hush now, nothing out there needs to climb or fight or try
You are the warmest thing this quiet dark can hold
Ian, sleep is close as breathing, gentle as a sigh

[Outro]
Somewhere on the gutter still, the feathers rest unshaken
Sleep now, love is with you when you wake
