Soft as Cotton
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
Cotton lifts a little where the window meets the night
Something in the quiet has gone gold and slow and low
You are curled up warmer than the softest thing in sight
Nothing in the whole wide world will trouble you, I know

[Chorus]
Reggie, close your eyes now, let the evening hold you tight
Nobody could love a small heart steadier than this
Sleep is only kindness wrapped around you for the night
Reggie, drift on gently, carried off on one long breath

[Verse 2]
Glass holds back the darkness like a promise kept till morning
Somewhere past the curtain all the stars are settling too
Can you feel how nothing here will ever come to harm you
Every hush around this room was made to look like you

[Pre-chorus]
Hear the quiet folding softer round the edges of the room
Feel the breath you're taking slow down gentler than before
Something warm is waiting just behind the door of dreaming

[Chorus]
Reggie, close your eyes now, let the evening hold you tight
Nobody could love a small heart steadier than this
Sleep is only kindness wrapped around you for the night
Reggie, drift on gently, carried off on one long breath

[Bridge]
Whatever waits tomorrow can wait a little longer still
Rest here where the fabric barely moves against the pane

[Chorus]
Reggie, close your eyes now, let the evening hold you tight
Nobody could love a small heart steadier than this
Sleep is only kindness wrapped around you for the night
Reggie, drift on gently, carried off on one long breath

[Outro]
Cotton settles softly where the window meets the dark
You are held as gently as the quiet holds the night
