The Curtain Sighs
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
Somewhere down the hallway a curtain lifts and falls
Just a breath of night air slipping soft between the walls
Nothing in this house tonight can wake you or alarm
You are held so gently, you are folded safe and warm

[Chorus]
Rory, hush now, let the quiet carry you away
Sleep is only softness wrapped around another day
Rory, close your eyes and drift where dreams are always true
Nothing in the dark tonight is stronger than my love for you

[Verse 2]
Watch the shadow sway a little where the curtain moves alone
Like the whole room breathes with you, a rhythm all its own
Every little rustle is a lullaby in disguise
Sung to carry you down gently into sleep's kind eyes

[Pre-chorus]
Feel how still the house has grown around your tired head
Every worry of the day has quietly been put to bed
So let the hush pull closer now, and follow where it's led

[Chorus]
Rory, hush now, let the quiet carry you away
Sleep is only softness wrapped around another day
Rory, close your eyes and drift where dreams are always true
Nothing in the dark tonight is stronger than my love for you

[Bridge]
Stay here in the warm and let the night keep watch a while
You are dearer than you know, you are worth every mile
Sleep will hold you gently till the morning comes to call

[Chorus]
Rory, hush now, let the quiet carry you away
Sleep is only softness wrapped around another day
Rory, close your eyes and drift where dreams are always true
Nothing in the dark tonight is stronger than my love for you

[Outro]
Somewhere down the hallway that same curtain breathes and stills
Watching over you tonight, the way my love always will
