A Feather at the Window
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
A brown feather drifts past the window so slow
riding the dark on a current we cannot know
hush now, and watch how it settles so light
you are the softest thing this house will ever hold

[Chorus]
Stephanie, Stephanie, sleep is a boat that will carry you far
under the eaves where the quiet things are
close your eyes now, let the night be your company
Stephanie, drift where the calm and the starlight are

[Verse 2]
The curtain breathes slow with the cool of the evening air
somewhere a feather has landed and rests without care
you are the warmth that this whole house is built around
nothing tonight will come near you, I promise, I swear

[Pre-chorus]
Hear how the wind has gone soft as a sigh
feel how the dark holds no reason to cry
lean into sleep now, I'm right by your side

[Chorus]
Stephanie, Stephanie, sleep is a boat that will carry you far
under the eaves where the quiet things are
close your eyes now, let the night be your company
Stephanie, drift where the calm and the starlight are

[Bridge]
Every small breath that you take is a treasure to me
you are the reason this house learned to be still
rest now, my love, let the whole world go quiet

[Chorus]
Stephanie, Stephanie, sleep is a boat that will carry you far
under the eaves where the quiet things are
close your eyes now, let the night be your company
Stephanie, drift where the calm and the starlight are

[Outro]
The feather has settled, its journey is done
sleep now, my Stephanie, safe as the dawn
