Down the Quiet Hall
Style: Kalimba night

[Verse 1]
Down the hall the stripes are painted soft with amber light
Something out there watches over you the whole long night
Every shadow on the wall is just a friend in grey
Nothing in this house would ever let you drift away

[Pre-chorus]
Hear the hush that settles low across the floor
Feel the warmth that waits behind the quiet door
Sleep is close now, closer than it's ever been

[Chorus]
Anne, the night has laid its hand upon your hair
Nothing here will touch you, nothing means you harm or care
Anne, the lamp still burns a little down the hall
Close your eyes now, you're the safest thing of all

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the window there's a lamp that never tires
It keeps a low and steady watch like far off fires
You don't need to know the reason why it stays so true
Only that it's shining there because it loves you too

[Pre-chorus]
Hear the hush that settles low across the floor
Feel the warmth that waits behind the quiet door
Sleep is close now, closer than it's ever been

[Chorus]
Anne, the night has laid its hand upon your hair
Nothing here will touch you, nothing means you harm or care
Anne, the lamp still burns a little down the hall
Close your eyes now, you're the safest thing of all

[Bridge]
You are held here, closer than the quiet knows
Loved here longer than the streetlight ever glows

[Chorus]
Anne, the night has laid its hand upon your hair
Nothing here will touch you, nothing means you harm or care
Anne, the lamp still burns a little down the hall
Close your eyes now, you're the safest thing of all

[Outro]
Down the hall the light still falls in stripes of gold
You are warm, you are loved, you are held, you are told
