The Curtains Breathe So Slow
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
The white cotton curtains brush the radiator warm and slow
Somebody is watching as your breathing starts to fall
Moonlight finds the corner where your small shadow moves so slow
There is nothing in this room that means you any harm at all

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the hush come find you here
Every little sound outside is turning into rain
Sleep is waiting just beyond the edges of the clear

[Chorus]
Muriel, the night has laid its softest blanket down
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever make a sound
You are held the way the moon is held above the town
Muriel, you're safe here, you are always safe and found

[Verse 2]
The radiator hums a tune too quiet to be heard
Warmth is climbing up the curtain like a slow, kind tide
Outside the glass the sky has settled, calm and unblurred
And you are folded into all the peace you have inside

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the hush come find you here
Every little sound outside is turning into rain
Sleep is waiting just beyond the edges of the clear

[Chorus]
Muriel, the night has laid its softest blanket down
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever make a sound
You are held the way the moon is held above the town
Muriel, you're safe here, you are always safe and found

[Bridge]
Nothing needs to happen now, nothing needs to end
The curtains sway so gently, like they're breathing with your chest

[Chorus]
Muriel, the night has laid its softest blanket down
Nothing in the dark tonight will ever make a sound
You are held the way the moon is held above the town
Muriel, you're safe here, you are always safe and found

[Outro]
The curtains settle softer now, the pale moon slips from view
Sleep now, little one, this whole quiet house belongs to you
