Soft Steps Outside Your Door
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
Every footstep learns to fall in whispers just for you
Softened on the carpet so no sound could ever reach
Nothing in this house would dare to wake you now
Sleep is waiting gently, close as breath can teach

[Pre-chorus]
Behind that white door morning is still folded tight
Nobody will hurry you from where you softly lie
Hold this hush a little longer while I

[Chorus]
Montague, the dark is only velvet drawn around you kind
Hush now finds you wrapped in it, no reason left to fear
Sleep will carry Montague where nothing tugs or ties
Close your eyes, my Montague, the quiet holds you here

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the door the whole house dims its light for you
Even shadows move on tiptoe, careful of your rest
Cradled in this stillness nothing needs to hurry through
You are held the softest way, you are simply blessed

[Pre-chorus]
Behind that white door morning is still folded tight
Nobody will hurry you from where you softly lie
Hold this hush a little longer while I

[Chorus]
Montague, the dark is only velvet drawn around you kind
Hush now finds you wrapped in it, no reason left to fear
Sleep will carry Montague where nothing tugs or ties
Close your eyes, my Montague, the quiet holds you here

[Bridge]
Nothing sharp can find you through the hush that wraps this room
Only soft and slower breathing, only calm and bloom

[Chorus]
Montague, the dark is only velvet drawn around you kind
Hush now finds you wrapped in it, no reason left to fear
Sleep will carry Montague where nothing tugs or ties
Close your eyes, my Montague, the quiet holds you here

[Outro]
Somewhere past that door the hallway keeps its hush for you
Rest now, little Montague, the quiet carries you through
