Curtains Breathing Slow
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
Curtains lift and settle soft against the window frame
far off traffic hums a tune too gentle to alarm
nothing out there needs to reach this small and quiet space
you are closer to me now than any breath or harm

[Pre-chorus]
Every sound outside has softened just to let you rest
hush is spreading slowly over rooftops and the street
sleep is waiting warm and near, so lean into its chest

[Chorus]
Stella, the night has folded gently down around you now
hold my hand and let the darkness be your friend tonight
nothing here will hurry you, there's no place we must be
Stella, you are safe as starlight settling out of sight

[Verse 2]
Somewhere far a engine sighs and fades to nothing much
shadows on the ceiling move as slow as they can go
you don't need to watch them, you can trust my steady touch
rest inside this quiet that I promise you will know

[Chorus]
Stella, the night has folded gently down around you now
hold my hand and let the darkness be your friend tonight
nothing here will hurry you, there's no place we must be
Stella, you are safe as starlight settling out of sight

[Bridge]
Breathe with the fabric as it drifts and falls again
you are held by something steadier than any wind

[Chorus]
Stella, the night has folded gently down around you now
hold my hand and let the darkness be your friend tonight
nothing here will hurry you, there's no place we must be
Stella, you are safe as starlight settling out of sight

[Outro]
Let the curtain settle still against the sleeping frame
you are held here gently, and you will be held the same
