A Line of Gold
Style: Gentle acoustic

[Verse 1]
A narrow line of yellow light falls soft across the floor
Resting there upon the old wool rug so still and warm
You watch it fade the way a sleepy little sigh does
Nothing in this house tonight can ever bring you harm

[Pre-chorus]
Close your eyes now, let the small light go
The dark that comes is kind and moves so slow
Everything you need is here, right by your side

[Chorus]
Alaia, the night is only resting over you
Somewhere past the window stars are holding on
Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to worry
Alaia, sleep is where you're safe till dawn

[Verse 2]
Shadows on the rug are turning softer than a whisper
Breathing slows to match the hush that fills the air
You are held here closer than the warmth beneath the blankets
Loved here deeper than a small heart knows to care

[Chorus]
Alaia, the night is only resting over you
Somewhere past the window stars are holding on
Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to worry
Alaia, sleep is where you're safe till dawn

[Bridge]
Rest now, let the quiet carry all you are
Drift beyond the ceiling to the farthest star

[Chorus]
Alaia, the night is only resting over you
Somewhere past the window stars are holding on
Nothing needs to hurry, nothing needs to worry
Alaia, sleep is where you're safe till dawn

[Outro]
That thin line of light has gone but you are golden still
Sleep now, love is all that fills this quiet room
