The Beam Turns Slow
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
A steady beam turns slowly on the wall above your head
It circles round so gently, never hurrying its light
There's nothing here to fear now, only softness in its stead
Just quiet shapes and shadows settling into the night

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes and let the day go drifting out of view
Every worry folds up small and quietly steps away
There's nowhere you need be but here, all warm and held and true

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Adam, let the dark be soft and kind and slow
Nothing here will ever sadden you while I'm this near
You are loved beyond the reach of anything you know
Rest now, Adam, you are safe, there's nothing you should fear

[Verse 2]
The room breathes low and easy while the beam keeps turning round
It never stops to hurry, never rushes through the grey
Somewhere past the window there's a hush without a sound
And you are wrapped inside it as the night rolls gently away

[Bridge]
Whatever the day held, it can rest now too
Morning waits its turn while the stars watch over you

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Adam, let the dark be soft and kind and slow
Nothing here will ever sadden you while I'm this near
You are loved beyond the reach of anything you know
Rest now, Adam, you are safe, there's nothing you should fear

[Outro]
The beam turns slower now, so soft it barely seems to move
And you are already dreaming, safe in all this quiet love
