Kathleen, So Serene
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
Shadows are stretching soft across the ceiling above you now
Feathers brush gently on the branch outside, so soft and slow
Nothing can reach you here beneath this quiet, sheltering sky
You are the calmest thing I've ever held so close and warm

[Pre-chorus]
The dark is only velvet, nothing sharp is hiding there
Every small sound outside is settling into evening air
Close your eyes now, let the hush come closer, softer, near

[Chorus]
Kathleen, Kathleen, the night has gone serene
Sleep now, my Kathleen, safest thing I've ever seen
You rest between the shadows and the warm and steady light
There is nowhere safer, Kathleen, than right here tonight

[Verse 2]
The branch outside sways gently while the feathers settle down to rest
Somewhere past the window all the tired world is going quiet too
I will stay right here and watch the ceiling's slow and easy drift
You are held so fully, nothing needs to worry you tonight

[Pre-chorus]
The dark is only velvet, nothing sharp is hiding there
Every small sound outside is settling into evening air
Close your eyes now, let the hush come closer, softer, near

[Chorus]
Kathleen, Kathleen, the night has gone serene
Sleep now, my Kathleen, safest thing I've ever seen
You rest between the shadows and the warm and steady light
There is nowhere safer, Kathleen, than right here tonight

[Bridge]
Whatever comes tomorrow, you are cradled now in this
There is nothing you could carry that this quiet can't dissolve

[Chorus]
Kathleen, Kathleen, the night has gone serene
Sleep now, my Kathleen, safest thing I've ever seen
You rest between the shadows and the warm and steady light
There is nowhere safer, Kathleen, than right here tonight

[Outro]
The feathers rest so still now on the branch beyond the glass
Sleep on, Kathleen, the shadows keep you gently as they pass
