Dark Feathers, Soft Light
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
Dark feathers brush so softly on the glass tonight
and frost is spreading slowly in the pale moonlight
but nothing cold can reach you where you softly lie
you're warmer than the candle burning close and shy

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Mohammed, the night is holding you tight
close now, Mohammed, you're safe till morning light
the world can hush its worries, they can wait till day
for you're the one I treasure, come what may

[Verse 2]
The wind may tap and wander but it can't come in
this room is built of comfort, soft beneath your skin
and every little shadow that moves across the wall
is only dreaming with you, gentle, calm, and small

[Pre-chorus]
Let your breathing slow now, let your fingers rest
you don't have to wonder, you are surely blessed
and as your eyes grow heavy, let the hush begin

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Mohammed, the night is holding you tight
close now, Mohammed, you're safe till morning light
the world can hush its worries, they can wait till day
for you're the one I treasure, come what may

[Bridge]
Every quiet creature curls up somewhere warm tonight
you are not alone here, you are held so right
the frost can paint its pictures on the windowpane
but nothing in the winter ever brings you pain

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Mohammed, the night is holding you tight
close now, Mohammed, you're safe till morning light
the world can hush its worries, they can wait till day
for you're the one I treasure, come what may

[Outro]
The dark feathers settle, the frost stops its climb
and you are still breathing, safe and warm and mine
