White Muslin, Soft and Slow
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
White muslin lifts and settles by the screen so soft and slow
A quiet breath of evening telling every star to glow
You are curled up warm beneath the blankets, safe and deep
And nothing in this whole wide world can trouble your sleep

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the dark is only velvet folding round your bed
Let every worry loosen and go floating from your head
Close your eyes, my darling, there is nowhere else to be

[Chorus]
Jonah, the night is holding you the way it holds the sea
Soft as Verona moonlight, calm as calm can be
Jonah, you're cradled gently, you are safe with me
Sleep now, little Jonah, drift as easy as can be

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a window's breathing with a curtain pale as cloud
You don't need any lullaby that's sung out clear or loud
Just this low hum beside you while the hours turn to rest
You are the warmest corner of this whole night's gentle nest

[Chorus]
Jonah, the night is holding you the way it holds the sea
Soft as Verona moonlight, calm as calm can be
Jonah, you're cradled gently, you are safe with me
Sleep now, little Jonah, drift as easy as can be

[Bridge]
Every shadow here is gentle, every hush a lullaby
Nothing waits beyond the curtain but a calm and quiet sky

[Chorus]
Jonah, the night is holding you the way it holds the sea
Soft as Verona moonlight, calm as calm can be
Jonah, you're cradled gently, you are safe with me
Sleep now, little Jonah, drift as easy as can be

[Outro]
Still that muslin curtain moves so softly by the screen
Sleep on, dear Jonah, safe inside this calm goodnight
