Fold of White Cotton
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
Look how the small dust turns in the pale light by the window
Slow as a breath that has nowhere left to go
This cotton fold is warm from the day you spent inside it
And you are the reason this whole room glows so

[Pre-chorus]
Every small thing in this room is turning gentle now
The lamp, the hush, the fold of white laid soft and low
All of it leaning in to keep you

[Chorus]
Idris, the dust is falling slower than a kiss
Sleep is a quiet you were always meant for, Idris
Nothing tonight will come to pull you out of this
Rest here, where all my love has learned to live

[Verse 2]
The light moves slow enough to seem like it is thinking
Choosing you to settle over, soft and near
Even the air seems to be holding still to watch you
As if it knows how precious you are here

[Pre-chorus]
Every small thing in this room is turning gentle now
The lamp, the hush, the fold of white laid soft and low
All of it leaning in to keep you

[Chorus]
Idris, the dust is falling slower than a kiss
Sleep is a quiet you were always meant for, Idris
Nothing tonight will come to pull you out of this
Rest here, where all my love has learned to live

[Bridge]
No need to chase the light, it will still be here tomorrow
Waiting the same way I will always wait for you
Close your eyes now, let the whole world turn to hush

[Chorus]
Idris, the dust is falling slower than a kiss
Sleep is a quiet you were always meant for, Idris
Nothing tonight will come to pull you out of this
Rest here, where all my love has learned to live

[Outro]
The cotton holds its fold, still warm from where you lay
Sleep now, Idris, the light will keep till day
