Quinn, Close Your Eyes Now
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
Grey wool fringe hangs soft over corduroy knees in the dim light
Down in the corner where the whole wide day finally slows to rest
Nothing can reach you here, tucked so far from any kind of harm
The hush of this room is only for you, of everyone, the best

[Pre-chorus]
Your breathing is slower now than the candle's little flame
Somewhere above you the hum of the house is calling your name
So let your small hand loosen and let the evening begin

[Chorus]
Quinn, the dark is only a blanket folded soft and thin
Nothing out there can touch you, nothing can get in
You are held so gently here, right where you have always been
Sleep now, sleep now, Quinn, sleep now, my Quinn

[Verse 2]
The wool is warm where it rests against the old worn chair
Every thread of this quiet room was gathered just for you
Outside the window the night walks slow and soft on bare feet
And nothing that it carries will ever come to trouble you

[Chorus]
Quinn, the dark is only a blanket folded soft and thin
Nothing out there can touch you, nothing can get in
You are held so gently here, right where you have always been
Sleep now, sleep now, Quinn, sleep now, my Quinn

[Bridge]
Somewhere a hush is humming low, without a single word
Just a warmth that gathers round you like a wing around a bird

[Chorus]
Quinn, the dark is only a blanket folded soft and thin
Nothing out there can touch you, nothing can get in
You are held so gently here, right where you have always been
Sleep now, sleep now, Quinn, sleep now, my Quinn

[Outro]
The grey wool settles softly now over corduroy knees gone still
Sleep on, little one, in the corner where nothing can touch or spill
