White Beam Turning
Style: Soft piano

[Verse 1]
A white beam turns slowly across the old cracked tile above you
It circles like it's guarding you from anything unkind
Nothing in this room tonight would ever want to trouble you
You are so completely loved, you are so hard to find

[Pre-chorus]
Let your small hands soften now and let your breathing slow
The house is holding still for you, the dark is warm and kind
Close your eyes and let the quiet gently carry you and go

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Alys, in the hush of this small palace
Nothing here can touch you, nothing means you harm
There's no room tonight for any kind of malice
Only you, my Alys, wrapped up safe and warm

[Verse 2]
The night outside is patient and it never means to hurry
You've got till morning wrapped around you like a gentle arm
No need to fight the sleep that's coming, no need ever to worry
Whatever waits tomorrow cannot touch you, cannot harm

[Bridge]
Somewhere the stars are turning too, slow as that light above
Watching over someone small who's held in so much love

[Chorus]
Sleep now, Alys, in the hush of this small palace
Nothing here can touch you, nothing means you harm
There's no room tonight for any kind of malice
Only you, my Alys, wrapped up safe and warm

[Outro]
The beam keeps turning gently on that same old cracked ceiling
Sleep now, you are certain, you are wanted, you are held
