Trembling Lace
Style: Flute and pad

[Verse 1]
Lace at the window sways so soft it barely makes a sound
and somewhere past the dark glass all the stars are gathering round
you breathe so slow beside me, warm and still upon the bed
nothing out there in the night can ever pull you down

[Chorus]
Violet, the whole wide dark is holding you so gently now
hush now, Violet, let the quiet settle on your brow
sleep is close and kind tonight, it wants you as you are
Violet, you are safe here, no one loves you more somehow

[Verse 2]
Watch the curtain lift a little, then it settles back to rest
just the same as how your breathing rises soft into your chest
you don't need to hold on tightly, you can let your fingers go
every corner of this room was built to keep you blessed

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere far off something rustles, small and slow against the pane
nothing here will ever hurt you, nothing here will cause you strain
close your eyes now, little one, and drift into your name

[Chorus]
Violet, the whole wide dark is holding you so gently now
hush now, Violet, let the quiet settle on your brow
sleep is close and kind tonight, it wants you as you are
Violet, you are safe here, no one loves you more somehow

[Bridge]
Even shadows move so kindly when they know that you're this loved
hold that warmth against your chest like something softly wrapped and gloved

[Chorus]
Violet, the whole wide dark is holding you so gently now
hush now, Violet, let the quiet settle on your brow
sleep is close and kind tonight, it wants you as you are
Violet, you are safe here, no one loves you more somehow

[Outro]
Lace still trembles faintly, but the night has gone so still
sleep now, little Violet, exactly as you will
