Gray Feathers, Soft Light
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Gray feathers are brushing the cold glass tonight
Behind the dark lace the whole world turns to light
There is nothing out there that can reach this room
You're the calmest thing that I have ever seen

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the wind just hum along
Nothing in the dark will ever do you wrong
I will hold you till the morning comes in soft

[Chorus]
Maureen, Maureen, you're the peace I've always sought
Sleep now, little one, you're every good thing thought
Somewhere between the shadows and the warm and clean
Rest here, Maureen, you're the calm this house has known

[Verse 2]
The glass holds the night but it can't hold your name
Because nothing cold could ever call you the same
You are warmer than the softest thing I've held
You're the quiet at the centre of my routine

[Bridge]
Let the feathers drift, let the branches sway and lean
Nothing needs to move except your breath, so serene

[Chorus]
Maureen, Maureen, you're the peace I've always sought
Sleep now, little one, you're every good thing thought
Somewhere between the shadows and the warm and clean
Rest here, Maureen, you're the calm this house has known

[Outro]
The lace still hangs soft between you and the cold
Sleep now, you are held, you are loved, you are home
