Lace and Lantern Light
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Lace at the window lifts a little and falls back slow
Carried by a breeze that only you would ever know
Down in your bed the wooden bars are holding fast
Keeping you safe and warm until this day has passed

[Chorus]
Nolan, my heart goes quiet when you finally close your eyes
Soft as the curtain settling once the wind says its goodbyes
Nobody's love could hold you gentler than mine does tonight
Nolan, you are my calm, you are my quiet light

[Verse 2]
Somewhere beyond that window the stars are keeping still
Watching the room where you are safe upon this sill
Breathe with the fabric, easy in and easy out
There's nothing in this darkness you should ever doubt

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let your small hands find the blanket's edge
Sleep is only a doorway, not a broken pledge
And on the other side of it, love is waiting still

[Chorus]
Nolan, my heart goes quiet when you finally close your eyes
Soft as the curtain settling once the wind says its goodbyes
Nobody's love could hold you gentler than mine does tonight
Nolan, you are my calm, you are my quiet light

[Bridge]
Every breath you take tonight is safe within these walls
Nothing in the dark will wake you, nothing ever calls

[Chorus]
Nolan, my heart goes quiet when you finally close your eyes
Soft as the curtain settling once the wind says its goodbyes
Nobody's love could hold you gentler than mine does tonight
Nolan, you are my calm, you are my quiet light

[Outro]
Lace at the window will still be swaying when you rise
Long after sleep has carried you and closed your eyes
