The Dial's Glow
Style: Humming choir

[Verse 1]
A small orange dial is glowing soft on the wood tonight
Circling round in a hush of amber, gentle and slow
You are curled where the warmth is pooling, wrapped in that light
There is nowhere as safe as this small and quiet glow

[Pre-chorus]
Let the hum of the house grow softer, let your eyes fall closed
Every worry can wait till morning, folded away for now
The dark is only a blanket, gathering close

[Chorus]
Alison, the light is low and the night has just begun
Nothing here can touch you, nothing needs to be undone
Sleep is coming gentle, Alison, like a rising sun
Rest inside the quiet now, you precious, steady one

[Verse 2]
The dial keeps its circle turning slow above the grain
Warm as embers settling deep inside an old, kind fire
You are held here safer than a name could ever explain
Sleep is just the hush that follows all your heart's desire

[Chorus]
Alison, the light is low and the night has just begun
Nothing here can touch you, nothing needs to be undone
Sleep is coming gentle, Alison, like a rising sun
Rest inside the quiet now, you precious, steady one

[Bridge]
Somewhere past the window the whole wide world is still
Nothing in the shadows means you any harm at all
Every breath you're taking is a small and steady thrill
Sleep will come to carry you and catch you if you fall

[Chorus]
Alison, the light is low and the night has just begun
Nothing here can touch you, nothing needs to be undone
Sleep is coming gentle, Alison, like a rising sun
Rest inside the quiet now, you precious, steady one

[Outro]
The dial dims to nothing as the room grows soft and grey
Sleep now, little Alison, the warmth will always stay
