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
