Feathers on the Blind
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
Soft as a whisper, an owl calls out beyond the glass
Feathers of shadow drift over the blind and slowly pass
Close your small hand now and let the whole wide night begin
Nothing can follow you into this room where you are safe within

[Chorus]
Joanne, Joanne, the dark is only kind tonight
Somebody's holding you close and warm beneath this light
Joanne, you are the calmest place that this house has ever known
Sleep now, and know you are never, ever here alone

[Verse 2]
Wings pass over the window slow as a lullaby hummed low
Nothing out there can reach you, nothing at all, you know
Rest your head where the pillow holds you soft and understands
Morning will come up gently, carried in patient hands

[Pre-chorus]
Hear how the calling settles, quiet as breath drawn in
Watch how the shifting shadow folds itself thin as skin
Let every worry loosen, let the whole day begin to land

[Chorus]
Joanne, Joanne, the dark is only kind tonight
Somebody's holding you close and warm beneath this light
Joanne, you are the calmest place that this house has ever known
Sleep now, and know you are never, ever here alone

[Bridge]
Somewhere an owl keeps watch above the sleeping land
Nothing will ask of you more than resting where you stand

[Chorus]
Joanne, Joanne, the dark is only kind tonight
Somebody's holding you close and warm beneath this light
Joanne, you are the calmest place that this house has ever known
Sleep now, and know you are never, ever here alone

[Outro]
Feathers still move across the blind, soft and slow as a sigh
Sleep now, Joanne, safe beneath a calm and watching sky
