Far Off Light
Style: Folk cradle song

[Verse 1]
A far off light slides slow across the curtain lace tonight
and wanders off again before it ever finds you scared
the dark stays soft and quiet, holding still around your bed
while every little sound outside goes drifting past unheard

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing out there needs to come as close as where you lie
the whole wide night can rumble on and never touch your eyes
so let your breathing slow right down and drift where dreams begin

[Chorus]
Asher, the dark is only passing through this room
the world can turn outside while you stay safe here in the gloom
nothing will wake you, nothing here will ever let you down
Asher, my Asher, you're the calmest thing in town

[Verse 2]
Somewhere a car is winding home along a road unseen
its light will touch the wall and slide away like it's a dream
but you are already further than that beam could ever reach
held closer than the quiet that comes after someone speaks

[Chorus]
Asher, the dark is only passing through this room
the world can turn outside while you stay safe here in the gloom
nothing will wake you, nothing here will ever let you down
Asher, my Asher, you're the calmest thing in town

[Bridge]
Every light that passes by is only passing through
it never was as steady as the love that's here for you

[Chorus]
Asher, the dark is only passing through this room
the world can turn outside while you stay safe here in the gloom
nothing will wake you, nothing here will ever let you down
Asher, my Asher, you're the calmest thing in town

[Outro]
The light has gone and left the curtain settled back to still
and you are sleeping deeper than that far off light could reach
