Grey Feather, Close Your Eyes
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
The grey wings fold so softly into bark tonight
Every star above is bending low to watch you rest
There's a hush that wraps around you, soft and warm and right
Sleep is calling gently, and you answer it the best

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the dark be kind and slow
Feel your breath grow quiet like the tide
Something warm is waiting just below

[Chorus]
Marilyn, the stars are humming just for you
Soft as feathers, safe as any nest could be
Nothing in the dark can touch you, Marilyn, it's true
You are held as gently as the bark holds sleeping trees

[Verse 2]
The night has folded round you like a wing pulled tight
Every shadow softens when it comes to find your bed
Somewhere close a small bird settles into starlight
And you are just as treasured as the words I've said

[Bridge]
Rest here where the quiet keeps you warm
Nothing in the dark will ever ask you to be strong

[Chorus]
Marilyn, the stars are humming just for you
Soft as feathers, safe as any nest could be
Nothing in the dark can touch you, Marilyn, it's true
You are held as gently as the bark holds sleeping trees

[Outro]
Sleep now, little feather, folded soft and low
The bark still holds you gently as the stars keep their glow
