Lyric

Cheek against the cool percale

The day lets out its last exhale

The house is breathing, slow and deep

The stairs have secrets they will keep

I sink into the feathered white

And say a small goodnight, goodnight

In peace I lie me down to sleep

For there's a watch He'll always keep

Pillow soft and blanket high

Moonlight thin across the sky

Close my eyes and loosen hands

Morning's held in better plans

Whatever I got wrong today

The dark is kind enough to say

Tomorrow comes with mercies new

And sleep is how I'm carried through

Pillow soft and blanket high

Moonlight thin across the sky

Close my eyes and loosen hands

Morning's held in better plans

I am held, and so I rest

Like a bird inside a nest

Pillow soft and blanket high

Moonlight thin across the sky

Close my eyes and loosen hands

Morning's held in better plans

Cheek against the cool percale

The day lets out its last exhale
