Grey Curtains Falling Still
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
The grey curtains shiver as far wheels rumble and fade away
and the glass stays closed and quiet, keeping the cold at bay
but you are warmer than any blanket the night could give
you are the reason this whole small room feels so alive

[Chorus]
Nellie, the dark is only a curtain drawn soft and slow
Nellie, you are held here closer than you could ever know
sleep with the hush of the wheels still turning far and thin
you are the safest sound this quiet house tucks in

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a carriage is rolling off toward a road unseen
but you are staying, wrapped in the warmth of where you have been
the glass won't rattle loose while you are curled up this way
you are the calm that gathers at the end of the day

[Pre-chorus]
Let the last wheels fade until the street forgets they came
hold this small room around you like a low and steady flame
and drift now toward the hush that's waiting to call your name

[Chorus]
Nellie, the dark is only a curtain drawn soft and slow
Nellie, you are held here closer than you could ever know
sleep with the hush of the wheels still turning far and thin
you are the safest sound this quiet house tucks in

[Bridge]
No wheel, no wind can reach you where you softly lie
you are loved beyond the hush of every passing sky

[Chorus]
Nellie, the dark is only a curtain drawn soft and slow
Nellie, you are held here closer than you could ever know
sleep with the hush of the wheels still turning far and thin
you are the safest sound this quiet house tucks in

[Outro]
The curtains settle now, grey and still against the glass
and you sleep on, held safe, while the last wheels quietly pass
