White Curtains, Timothy
Style: Accordion cradle

[Verse 1]
The white curtains lift and settle over the wooden floor tonight
Moonlight is pouring soft and quiet across the sleepy room
Somewhere beneath that gentle drifting you are held and warm
And every breath you take is proof that nothing here means harm

[Chorus]
Timothy, Timothy, close your eyes and drift with me
Nothing in this quiet house could ever wish you harm
There is no corner of this dark that isn't kind to Timothy
So rest here soft and easy in the shelter of my arm

[Verse 2]
The floorboards hold the moonlight like they're keeping it just for you
Cool and pale and steady while the whole wide house stays still
Nothing needs to happen now, no reaching and no rush
Just this slow and easy breathing, quiet as the hush

[Pre-chorus]
Listen how the curtain breathes in time with you, so slow
Nothing in the shadows wants to see you go
Sleep is only drifting somewhere warmer than you know

[Chorus]
Timothy, Timothy, close your eyes and drift with me
Nothing in this quiet house could ever wish you harm
There is no corner of this dark that isn't kind to Timothy
So rest here soft and easy in the shelter of my arm

[Bridge]
You are the calm the whole room leans towards
Held closer than the moonlight holds the floor

[Chorus]
Timothy, Timothy, close your eyes and drift with me
Nothing in this quiet house could ever wish you harm
There is no corner of this dark that isn't kind to Timothy
So rest here soft and easy in the shelter of my arm

[Outro]
The white curtains will keep drifting long after you're asleep
Watching over you so gently while the quiet house you keep
