White Cotton Curtains
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
White cotton curtains are brushing the wooden sill so light
folding the last of the sun into the folds of night
under the blankets of wool where your small hands rest
you are the calmest and warmest, the one loved best

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere a window is closing soft on the day
hushing the noise of the world till it drifts away
and all of my quiet is leaning now toward you

[Chorus]
Oliver, sleep while the curtains breathe slow by the sill
nothing will wake you, the house has gone still
Oliver, close now those eyes that I love
you are the warmth that this whole night is made of

[Verse 2]
Somewhere beyond that soft curtain the stars settle in
wrapping the dark like a blanket around your chin
every small breath that you take is a gift to me
you are the safest thing this house will ever be

[Chorus]
Oliver, sleep while the curtains breathe slow by the sill
nothing will wake you, the house has gone still
Oliver, close now those eyes that I love
you are the warmth that this whole night is made of

[Bridge]
Rest now, the wool is folded, the window is shut tight
nothing can reach you, held here in the middle of night

[Chorus]
Oliver, sleep while the curtains breathe slow by the sill
nothing will wake you, the house has gone still
Oliver, close now those eyes that I love
you are the warmth that this whole night is made of

[Outro]
The curtains keep brushing soft on the sill while you dream
and you are the warmest, most treasured of all that I've seen
