Behind the Yellow Blind
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
Drops are sliding slowly down the window pane tonight
the yellow blind is drawn to keep the chill outside
you are wrapped up warm and held here in the low light
and nothing in that rain can touch you, nothing tried

[Pre-chorus]
Let the small sounds of the evening soften into one
let your busy little thoughts lie down and rest
the whole wide house is quiet now till morning comes with sun

[Chorus]
Zayd, the night has come to wrap you soft and keep you made
close your eyes and let the hours be gently laid
every worry of the day has found its shade
you are loved right here, Zayd, and never left, never afraid

[Verse 2]
The glass is cool but you are warmer than the rain could be
somewhere far the wind is humming low and slow
this little room holds all the safety that you need
and I will stay right here as long as you might go

[Bridge]
Sleep can come now soft as water down the pane
nothing outside these walls will ever cause you pain

[Chorus]
Zayd, the night has come to wrap you soft and keep you made
close your eyes and let the hours be gently laid
every worry of the day has found its shade
you are loved right here, Zayd, and never left, never afraid

[Outro]
The last drop slides and settles at the window's end
sleep now, you are held, and morning is your friend
