Gold and Slow
Style: Harp lullaby

[Verse 1]
Somewhere down the hall a brass hand turns so slowly
and the glass holds all its quiet golden light
you are folded soft beneath the sound it's keeping
safe as anything can be held through the night

[Chorus]
Anwen, the house breathes low around you now
every corner soft, every shadow kind
Anwen, sleep is nothing you should fear
I will keep the watch till morning comes to find you

[Verse 2]
The pendulum swings on, never in a hurry
counting seconds nobody needs to mind
while you drift where nothing sharp can reach you
wrapped in warmth that leaves the dark behind

[Pre-chorus]
Hear how steady it goes, how patient and unhurried
like a heartbeat far off down the hall
so let your own breath follow after it and slow now

[Chorus]
Anwen, the house breathes low around you now
every corner soft, every shadow kind
Anwen, sleep is nothing you should fear
I will keep the watch till morning comes to find you

[Bridge]
Nothing moves too fast for you tonight
every tick a promise softly kept

[Chorus]
Anwen, the house breathes low around you now
every corner soft, every shadow kind
Anwen, sleep is nothing you should fear
I will keep the watch till morning comes to find you

[Outro]
Somewhere down the hall that gold hand still is turning
watching over you until the light returns
