Dust in the Landing Light
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
Somewhere the dust is turning slow along the banister rail
Catching the last little bit of light before it goes away
You are the reason the whole house softens to a whisper trail
I will stay near while the shadows settle down to stay

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, the hallway has folded itself into night
Every small sound has grown gentle and slow
Close your eyes, let go of the light

[Chorus]
Amanda, the dark is only resting, nothing to fear
Somewhere a lullaby hums soft as a hand on your back
Amanda, I promise the morning will find you still here
Sleep now, there's nothing this house or this night could ever lack

[Verse 2]
The landing keeps its quiet like a secret it loves to hold
Dust motes drifting slower than any thought could ever go
You are warmer than every story that this house has ever told
I will watch till your breathing turns soft and slow

[Chorus]
Amanda, the dark is only resting, nothing to fear
Somewhere a lullaby hums soft as a hand on your back
Amanda, I promise the morning will find you still here
Sleep now, there's nothing this house or this night could ever lack

[Bridge]
Even the dust knows how to fall so gently down
Even the dark can hold you soft as any crown

[Chorus]
Amanda, the dark is only resting, nothing to fear
Somewhere a lullaby hums soft as a hand on your back
Amanda, I promise the morning will find you still here
Sleep now, there's nothing this house or this night could ever lack

[Outro]
The dust will still be turning slow when the morning comes to call
And you will still be loved the same, the truest thing of all
