Gold in the Doorway
Style: Rocking chair waltz

[Verse 1]
Dust turns to gold where the light finds the doorway
Soft as a hush, it comes drifting your way
Nothing tonight can come nearer than this
And you are the reason I linger and stay

[Pre-chorus]
Close now your eyes as the evening grows slower
The house settles down and the dark gathers lower
Rest in the warmth that is waiting so near

[Chorus]
Agnes, the light is still holding you softly
Nothing can touch you, no shadow, no worry
Deep in the hush where the quiet sits gently
Agnes, my love, you are safe here with me

[Verse 2]
The beam through the door grows so slender and quiet
Like breath going out with the end of the day light
Still it will find you wherever you drift
Long after footsteps have faded from sight

[Bridge]
Sleep is a room with the door standing open
Gold at the edges, and nothing to fear there

[Chorus]
Agnes, the light is still holding you softly
Nothing can touch you, no shadow, no worry
Deep in the hush where the quiet sits gently
Agnes, my love, you are safe here with me

[Outro]
Sleep now, the dust settles soft on the floorboards
Gold in the doorway will wait till the morning
