The Wall Keeps Watch
Style: Ambient wash

[Verse 1]
A slow gold light slides over the whitewashed wall tonight
turning the quiet room from shadow into glow
you watch it drift like something soft is guarding you
and this is all the world you need to know

[Chorus]
Amira, sleep is close and softly falling now
nothing in the dark can find you here
hush now, let the hours turn without a sound
Amira, you are held, you are so dear

[Verse 2]
Every ten seconds the light comes round again
brushing the wall like a hand that will not stop
you do not need to watch to know it's coming back
so let your eyes grow heavy, let them drop

[Pre-chorus]
Somewhere a warmth is keeping every worry small
breath by breath the night is growing kind
so let the last light settle you to sleep

[Chorus]
Amira, sleep is close and softly falling now
nothing in the dark can find you here
hush now, let the hours turn without a sound
Amira, you are held, you are so dear

[Bridge]
Nothing asks anything of you now, only rest
the whole wide night has gathered round to keep you safe

[Chorus]
Amira, sleep is close and softly falling now
nothing in the dark can find you here
hush now, let the hours turn without a sound
Amira, you are held, you are so dear

[Outro]
Somewhere the light still sweeps the wall so slow and gold
sleep now, Amira, you are held, you are known
