Blue Cotton Sky
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
Blue cotton sways so softly at the window near your bed
Night air comes drifting in to rest so lightly on your head
You are the calm this whole house has been waiting for all day
Close your eyes now, little one, and let the hours drift away

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere a curtain lifts and settles, slow as your own breath
Nothing can reach you here, not worry, not the dark, not death
Sleep is just a door that opens soft and calls you in

[Chorus]
Louis, the night has folded gently round you like a sheet
Nothing in this whole wide world could ever be so sweet
Louis, truly, you're the softest thing this house has known
Rest now, you were never meant to face the dark alone

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window frame the stars are settling too
Quiet holds its breath a while, just watching over you
Every little sound tonight has slowed to match your heart
You are held so carefully, no harm could ever start

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere a curtain lifts and settles, slow as your own breath
Nothing can reach you here, not worry, not the dark, not death
Sleep is just a door that opens soft and calls you in

[Chorus]
Louis, the night has folded gently round you like a sheet
Nothing in this whole wide world could ever be so sweet
Louis, truly, you're the softest thing this house has known
Rest now, you were never meant to face the dark alone

[Bridge]
Sleep will carry you so gently, further than you know
Wrapped in something warmer than the moon's own gentle glow

[Chorus]
Louis, the night has folded gently round you like a sheet
Nothing in this whole wide world could ever be so sweet
Louis, truly, you're the softest thing this house has known
Rest now, you were never meant to face the dark alone

[Outro]
Blue cotton settles still against the window, soft and slow
You are loved beyond the reach of anything you'll ever know
