A Strip of Light
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
A strip of yellow light lies across the worn old rug
and somewhere past your door the house breathes low and slow
that thin gold line will keep its watch till morning
holding the dark back gently, keeping it from you

[Chorus]
Alys, the night has folded soft around you now
every corner of this room is kept just for your rest
Alys, nothing here will come to trouble you tonight
you are the warmest thing this house has ever blessed

[Verse 2]
The rug has worn thin where small feet love to wander
but you are wrapped up safe, still and warm in bed
that same old light will lie there when you're waking
the same soft gold to greet your sleepy head

[Pre-chorus]
Let your breathing find the hush that fills the hallway
let the small light by the door be all you need
and drift now toward the calm that's always waiting

[Chorus]
Alys, the night has folded soft around you now
every corner of this room is kept just for your rest
Alys, nothing here will come to trouble you tonight
you are the warmest thing this house has ever blessed

[Bridge]
No shadow here would dare to come too near you
you are held closer than you'll ever know
sleep now, and let the whole wide dark grow gentle

[Chorus]
Alys, the night has folded soft around you now
every corner of this room is kept just for your rest
Alys, nothing here will come to trouble you tonight
you are the warmest thing this house has ever blessed

[Outro]
The light beneath the door will burn on softly
watching over you until the morning comes
