Gold Along the Floor
Style: Clarinet nightlight

[Verse 1]
Dust is turning slow in the last light of the hall
catching every colour as it drifts along the wall
and nothing in this house is asking you to hurry
so let the evening settle without any kind of worry

[Pre-chorus]
The quiet is a blanket that the whole room seems to wear
and every little sound tonight is softened in the air
so close your eyes and drift to where I'm taking you

[Chorus]
Ada, the light is low and gold along the floor
Ada, you are so loved, you couldn't be loved more
the whole wide house breathes slow around where you lie
and I'll be right here watching as the hours drift by

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window the evening folds up small
and the hallway light goes gentle on the wall
you don't need to hold on to a single thing tonight
just let go and rest inside this warm and quiet light

[Bridge]
Rest your small hands, let your breathing slow right down
there's nothing waiting for you but the softness all around

[Chorus]
Ada, the light is low and gold along the floor
Ada, you are so loved, you couldn't be loved more
the whole wide house breathes slow around where you lie
and I'll be right here watching as the hours drift by

[Outro]
The dust has settled soft where the hallway light has been
sleep now, little one, in the gold and gentle in between
