Ray, Close Your Eyes
Style: Cello cradle

[Verse 1]
The pine needles brush so softly on the glass tonight
Their shadows sway slow like they know you're near
Every little movement is gentle, never sharp or bright
Nothing in this room could bring you fear

[Pre-chorus]
The house is breathing slower now, the day has let you go
Your eyes are growing heavy, soft as falling snow
And all the world is folding down to just this quiet glow

[Chorus]
Ray, you are the calm this whole house waits for
Sleep is just a door that opens soft and wide
Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to keep score
Ray, you're held so gently on this side

[Verse 2]
Outside the window branches move like hands that wave goodnight
Their shapes slide down the glass and fade away
You don't need to watch them, you don't need to hold on tight
Just let your breathing settle into grey

[Pre-chorus]
The house is breathing slower now, the day has let you go
Your eyes are growing heavy, soft as falling snow
And all the world is folding down to just this quiet glow

[Chorus]
Ray, you are the calm this whole house waits for
Sleep is just a door that opens soft and wide
Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to keep score
Ray, you're held so gently on this side

[Bridge]
Whatever moved today can rest now, still and low
There's nowhere left to be, no further you must go

[Chorus]
Ray, you are the calm this whole house waits for
Sleep is just a door that opens soft and wide
Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to keep score
Ray, you're held so gently on this side

[Outro]
The pine outside will keep its watch until the morning grey
Sleep now, you are so loved, and so is every day
