Light Through the Curtains
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
A thin line of gold is creeping across the floor tonight
Slipping past the curtains just to find you where you lie
Soft and slow it travels, taking all the time it needs
Nothing in this room would ever dare to hurry it, or you

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the day slip out behind the door
There is nothing waiting for you but the quiet and the dark
So let your breathing follow mine, a little slower now

[Chorus]
Aiden, the whole wide house is holding still for you
Nothing in the dark tonight could ever reach this bed
Sleep is not so far away, just past that golden line
Rest now, Aiden, you are the safest thing I know

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window there are stars we cannot see
Hidden by the curtains, saving all their light for day
But you don't need them shining, you have all you need right here
Warm beneath the blankets, wrapped in everything that's dear

[Chorus]
Aiden, the whole wide house is holding still for you
Nothing in the dark tonight could ever reach this bed
Sleep is not so far away, just past that golden line
Rest now, Aiden, you are the safest thing I know

[Bridge]
Let the hours move without you, they will still be here at dawn
You don't have to hold them, only let them drift on by

[Chorus]
Aiden, the whole wide house is holding still for you
Nothing in the dark tonight could ever reach this bed
Sleep is not so far away, just past that golden line
Rest now, Aiden, you are the safest thing I know

[Outro]
That gold will still be waiting when you open up your eyes
Sleep now, small one, safe inside this quiet, golden line
