Yellow Fringe in the Window
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Yellow cotton sways where the midnight wind is blowing
Softly by the glass while your breathing starts slowing
Cracked old pane still holds every star it can borrow
Nothing in this house will wake you until tomorrow

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the fringe keep brushing soft and slow
Every little sound is one you don't need to know
Close your eyes and drift where only good dreams go

[Chorus]
Ibrahim, the night is holding you so gently
Warm beneath the covers, safe and slow and steady
Nothing here can reach you, nothing here can harm you
Sleep now, Ibrahim, this quiet house will warm you

[Verse 2]
Little threads of yellow catching moonlight as they shiver
Guarding you from shadows, keeping watch beside the river
Wind may knock and wander but it's gentle, never cruel
Rest inside the warmth that this small room was built to hold

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the fringe keep brushing soft and slow
Every little sound is one you don't need to know
Close your eyes and drift where only good dreams go

[Chorus]
Ibrahim, the night is holding you so gently
Warm beneath the covers, safe and slow and steady
Nothing here can reach you, nothing here can harm you
Sleep now, Ibrahim, this quiet house will warm you

[Bridge]
Even glass that's cracked can still keep out the cold
You are held here tighter than these arms could ever tell you

[Chorus]
Ibrahim, the night is holding you so gently
Warm beneath the covers, safe and slow and steady
Nothing here can reach you, nothing here can harm you
Sleep now, Ibrahim, this quiet house will warm you

[Outro]
Yellow cotton settles as the wind begins to still
You are safe and dreaming, and you always will
