Curtains in the Quiet
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
The white cotton lifts as the window breathes in slowly
carrying the cool of the evening across the floor
nothing in the dark tonight is sharp or unfriendly
rest against the pillow, you don't need anything more

[Chorus]
Wendy, close your eyes now, let the whole house grow still
the curtain sways so gently, easy and unhurried
you are the softest thing this quiet room ever will hold
and every breath you take here comes back to you unworried

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the glass the wind is turning over slowly
folding through the linen like a hand smoothing a sheet
you don't have to listen, you don't have to hold anything
just let your small body sink and settle into sleep

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing out there tonight is coming in to find you
the dark outside the window only wants to hum along
so let your shoulders loosen while the night keeps humming its song

[Chorus]
Wendy, close your eyes now, let the whole house grow still
the curtain sways so gently, easy and unhurried
you are the softest thing this quiet room ever will hold
and every breath you take here comes back to you unworried

[Bridge]
However far the wind goes wandering tonight
it always comes home softer than it left
and so will every worry that you carry into sleep

[Chorus]
Wendy, close your eyes now, let the whole house grow still
the curtain sways so gently, easy and unhurried
you are the softest thing this quiet room ever will hold
and every breath you take here comes back to you unworried

[Outro]
The curtain settles now, the window closes over quietly
and you are held here safely till the morning comes
