Cotton and Quiet
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
Cotton curtains lift so slowly above the wooden floor
Nothing hurries in this room where the lamp burns low
You are curled beneath the blanket, needing nothing more
Warm and steady, breathing gentle, you are letting go

[Pre-chorus]
The draft moves soft as if the night were leaning near
Every shadow in the corner has gone kind and clear
Close your eyes, my darling, there is nothing left to fear

[Chorus]
Mohammad, the house is holding you inside its arms tonight
Nothing in the dark will ever come to do you harm
Sleep on, Mohammad, wrapped in every soft and hidden light
Nothing wakes you, nothing shakes you, you are safe and warm

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the floorboard the whole house settles into sleep
The window barely rattles, just a whisper on the pane
You are held here safely while the hours grow slow and deep
Nothing in this quiet room could ever bring you pain

[Bridge]
Let the curtain drift and settle, let your small hands loosen too
Rest now, little dreamer, morning waits to come for you

[Chorus]
Mohammad, the house is holding you inside its arms tonight
Nothing in the dark will ever come to do you harm
Sleep on, Mohammad, wrapped in every soft and hidden light
Nothing wakes you, nothing shakes you, you are safe and warm

[Outro]
The curtain rests against the frame, its slow breath finally done
Sleep now, Mohammad, you are loved by everyone
