Grey Cotton Sky
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
The grey cotton lifts and falls like it's breathing beside you
A soft little sigh as the window lets in the dark
You watch the folds sway and slowly your eyelids grow heavy
Somewhere past the glass the whole tired world drops its guard

[Chorus]
Preston, the night is only holding you close now
Sleep finds you gentle as breath finds its rest on
Nothing will wake you, no shadow, no far away sound
Preston, this quiet was always your best on

[Verse 2]
Moonlight comes soft through the fabric and lands on your pillow
You are the warmest thing this whole dim room contains
Outside the breeze moves slow like it's rocking a willow
Nothing tonight has the heart to trouble your calm

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the curtain is humming its low quiet tune
Little breaths, little sighs, the dark pulling near
Somewhere between them your name is about to be sung

[Chorus]
Preston, the night is only holding you close now
Sleep finds you gentle as breath finds its rest on
Nothing will wake you, no shadow, no far away sound
Preston, this quiet was always your best on

[Bridge]
Even the cotton has stilled itself into sleeping
Even the window has folded its light away
You are the reason this whole room keeps quiet its keeping

[Chorus]
Preston, the night is only holding you close now
Sleep finds you gentle as breath finds its rest on
Nothing will wake you, no shadow, no far away sound
Preston, this quiet was always your best on

[Outro]
Somewhere the grey cotton settles, done with its swaying
Rest now, little one, the whole night is yours for staying
